In our last interview in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/edtech-generation\/podcast\/\">EdTech Generation<\/a><\/strong>Guillem Bargall\u00f3, Head of Sustainability at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/es\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IKEA<\/a> Catalonia, gives us an in-depth look at how small actions can create big changes. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00abSustainability is already in the lives of many, many people, but we need to align ourselves more.\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bargall\u00f3 points out that although environmental awareness has grown enormously in recent years,<strong> there is still a gap between intentions and actual actions<\/strong>. According to him, many companies still see sustainability as a regulatory obligation and not as <strong>an opportunity to lead a necessary change<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00abSmall businesses have immense power in the little things.\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the interview, Bargall\u00f3 stressed that you don&#8217;t need to be a multinational to make a difference. \u00ab<strong>Creating a positive work environment, taking care of your team and making responsible decisions in your day-to-day life is already a big step towards sustainability<\/strong>.\u00bb This approach emphasizes the close, everyday impact, demystifying the idea that only big changes generate value. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00abCircular economy is the future, but it requires collective commitment.\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At IKEA, circular design is key to reducing the environmental footprint. Bargall\u00f3 explains how reuse, repair and waste reduction are pillars of its strategy. However, he adds that these practices must be complemented by a change of mentality in consumption: \u00ab<strong>It&#8217;s not about consuming more, but consuming better<\/strong>\u00ab.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00abOur planet is our home, and to take care of it is to take care of ourselves.\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With its innovative approach, IKEA promotes projects such as the restoration of Do\u00f1ana and the promotion of the circular economy in Spain, making it clear that sustainability is not only part of its DNA, but also part of its social commitment.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u00abThere is hope, and we create it with our choices.\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guillem concludes with an optimistic message: \u00abWe are very optimistic.<strong>We are the ones who decide where we want to go. Small actions add up and, in the end, have the power to transform our world. <\/strong>\u00ab.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listen to the full interview on <strong>Generation EdTech<\/strong> and find out how sustainability is redefining our present and future.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guillem Bargall\u00f3, head of sustainability at IKEA Catalonia talks about how sustainability has become one of the company&#8217;s most identifiable values.  <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tickets"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3221\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
