Sustainability is no longer an option; it is a necessity that affects both companies and individuals. In our last interview in EdTech Generation<\/a><\/strong>Guillem Bargall\u00f3, Head of Sustainability at IKEA<\/a> Catalonia offers us an in-depth look at how small actions can bring about big changes. <\/p>\n\n

\u00abSustainability is already part of the lives of many, many people, but we need to work together more closely.\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Bargall\u00f3 points out that although environmental awareness has grown enormously in recent years, there is still a gap between intentions and actual actions<\/strong>. According to him, many companies still view sustainability as a regulatory obligation rather than as an opportunity to spearhead a much-needed change<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

\u00abSmall businesses have immense power in the little things.\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

During the interview, Bargall\u00f3 emphasised that you don\u2019t need to be a multinational to make a difference. \u00abCreating a positive working environment, looking after your team and making responsible decisions in your day-to-day life is already a big step towards sustainability<\/strong>.\u00bb This approach emphasises the immediate, day-to-day impact, dispelling the notion that only major changes generate value. <\/p>\n\n

\u00abThe circular economy is the future, but it requires a collective commitment.\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

At IKEA, circular design is key to reducing its environmental footprint. Bargall\u00f3 explains how reuse, repair and waste reduction are the cornerstones of its strategy. However, he adds that these practices must be complemented by a shift in consumer mindset: \u00abIt\u2019s not about consuming more, but about consuming better<\/strong>\u00ab. <\/p>\n\n

\u00abOur planet is our home, and looking after it means looking after ourselves.\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

With its innovative approach, IKEA supports 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

\u00abThere is hope, and we create it through our choices.\u00bb<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Guillem concludes with an optimistic message: \u00abWe are very optimistic.\u2019.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
