As part of its ongoing plans to reduce its environmental impact, Ikea said every new employee, as well as every current employee, would receive the bulbs, which would cost the company about £45,000 (around US$88,000) to start. The company will also replace the light bulbs for free when they stop working in about five years.
"Every new worker will also get a pack of bulbs as part of their package when they join the company," Charlie Browne, environment manager at Ikea U.K., told the Guardian.
"We have been taking measures to save energy at our stores and we also have an obligation to educate our co-workers."
