IKEA wheels out workers' gifts for a green Christmas
IKEA has given out folding bikes to thousands of employees to encourage them to cycle to work.
The furniture giant presented them as gifts to around 9,000 members of staff yesterday at their annual Christmas breakfast event.
It is also offering employees a 15 per cent travel subsidy to help them take public transport. IKEA's UK manager, Peter Hogsted, said: "We want to create a better everyday life for the many, and do what we can to make greener living possible."
The chain's recent decision to stop handing out free plastic bags cut the volume used from its UK stores by 97 per cent.
