CSR filter, back to the IKEA example:

The basic thinking behind

all IKEA products is that low prices make well-designed, functional home furnishings available to everyone. After all, our vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people. We are constantly trying to do everything a little better, a little simpler, more efficiently and always cost-effectively. All IKEA units play an important part in creating our low prices which we are then able to offer our customers.
It's all very simple: When we're able to lower our prices, more people can enjoy a better everyday life. Read more about why we're so obsessed with reducing our prices.
