There is no doubt that climate change is shaping our history. Each and every one of us must take action to lighten the load on our planet. For an individual company, however, finding ways to make a real difference may seem challenging.

It may seem that Martin Luther King, Steve Jobs and the Wright brothers have little in common, but they had an important common denominator: They had a clear why for doing what they did.

When I started working at Garantell as a Belgian city girl, I was introduced to a lot of new habits and routines on the work floor. Swedish style. Yes, some are more peculiar than others. One of these habits is eating breakfast together with all the Garantell employees. Every day, at 9 o’clock on the dot, a bunch of sandwiches, eggs and yoghurt is waiting for us, joined by the fresh smell of a cup of coffee. The latter seems a detail, but it is serious business this coffee: Swedes are famous for their coffee drinking. As a food lover, I surely appreciate the fact of getting a paid breakfast, but the most important fact about this company breakfast is not the food, but the talk.
