The Swedish furniture giant devours 20 million cubic metres of wood every year. That’s one tree every two seconds. An investigation into a discreet predator that has become a champion of greenwashing over the years.
Almost 60% of the products manufactured by Ikea are made from wood. But are the brand’s commitments to respecting ecosystems being met? From the last boreal forests in Sweden to plantations in Brazil, via the New Zealand countryside and the wide open spaces of Poland and Romania, Disclose has traced the Swedish multinational’s supply chain. This multi-part investigation has been adapted into a 90-minute documentary, broadcast on Arte on Tuesday 27 February.
The factory that produces the most pollution in France is using more coal than ever. In August 2025, ArcelorMittal Dunkirk took delivery of several thousand tonnes of coal from an extremely toxic mine in Mozambique. Some residents of the town of Moatize have been exposed to serious air pollution and seen their homes destroyed by blasts, an investigation by Disclose and Socialter can reveal.
PFAS have contaminated everything in 17 municipalities in the Ardennes and Meuse departments in northeast France, from soil to vegetables, rivers, fish and even people’s bloodstream, Disclose and France 3 can reveal. Tests conducted with a Montreal University laboratory show record levels of ‘forever chemicals’ in agricultural land. The pollution poses a “direct threat to health” according to a “restricted” memo.
