Corporate Social Responsibility<\/h1>\n

CSR Programme<\/h2>\n

Smarter Surfaces Corporate Social Responsibility Programme (CSR) is about encouraging a positive change in the workplace environment. We work in a way that is sustainable, ethical and has minimum impact of the environment. Our values steer all of our decisions.<\/p>\n

We believe in behaving as a responsible global corporate citizen. We want to contribute to the global community and bring positive changes to society.<\/p>\n

Smarter Surfaces has a strong affinity for organisations that are committed to a world where bright ideas, courage and commitment are rewarded. We are committed to supporting one non-profit organisation each month by donating Smarter Surfaces\u2019 products. Our CSR committee meets monthly to review any requests for support we receive and to decide which charity or NGO our products will be sent to. Along with this we also promote the chosen organisation on our website and social media, if they are happy to share a testimonial, case study or photos with us.<\/p>\n

We love getting feedback from the CSR programme as it is great to hear how people are using Smarter Surfaces products to benefit others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Your Own Place<\/h4>\n

Your Own Place told us how much they love their dry erase wall. Your Own Place is a charity who find creative solutions to prevent youth homelessness. They told us how one user had remarked \u2018I love writing on the wall as it feels like I am allowed to break the rules\u2019. A visitor to their office confirmed that \u2018the use of whiteboard walls was what made the course fun and engaging\u2019<\/p>\n

Envision<\/h4>\n

Envision greatly appreciated receiving their product from our CSR Programme They told us, \u2018telling people they can just write on the wall is great fun- especially watching their reactions as you watch an almost childlike grin appear on their face. Thank you for your amazing donation \u2013 it has made a massive difference\u2019. Envision is a leading youth charity empowering youths across diverse backgrounds and working together to tackle issues in their own communities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Deaf Society<\/h3>\n

The Deaf Society seeks to achieve and promote the rights and equality of deaf people in Ireland. We decided to visit them and film a video on how they were using their Smarter Surfaces\u2019 products. Their Graphic Design teacher said \u2018 The Smart Wall allows me to easily pinpoint where in the image the class is looking, and allows me to make notes at the same time\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
