Unter PREMIER SUITES Sandyford, we believe in the power of giving back. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is not just about corporate compliance or ticking a box; it’s an essential part of how we operate as a business and interact with the world around us. From community initiatives to supporting Irish producers and championing environmental sustainability, CSR is ingrained in everything we do.
Recently, our team, led by Kamila, our dedicated operations manager, took part in a significant environmental initiative right in the heart of Sandyford Business Park—one that reflects our ongoing commitment to the local community and the environment.
Keeping Sandyford Clean: Litter Picking Day
As a key player in the local business community, PREMIER SUITES Sandyford understands the importance of maintaining a clean and welcoming environment for everyone. This year, Kamila and the PREMIER SUITES Sandyford team spearheaded a litter-picking day in Sandyford Business Park. This initiative was born from our strong sense of responsibility to contribute to the upkeep and beautification of the local area.
Sandyford Business Park, with its array of businesses and green spaces, is a vibrant hub, and we take pride in ensuring that it remains a clean, inviting place for employees, visitors, and residents. Equipped with gloves, bags, our team joined forces with other local businesses to remove waste and litter from the park.
This simple yet impactful initiative not only helped reduce the waste in the business park, but it also highlighted the importance of collective effort in preserving the local environment. We aim to make these clean-up days a regular occurrence, ensuring that our contributions to the local community are not just short-term actions but ongoing commitments. The positive energy and teamwork displayed on the day reflected our ethos that when businesses come together for a common cause, we can create lasting, meaningful change.
Beyond the Moon: Making Dreams Come True for Seriously Ill Children
Our CSR efforts extend far beyond the borders of Sandyford Business Park. PREMIER SUITES is proud to support Beyond The Moon, an extraordinary charity that grants unforgettable holidays to families with children suffering from serious illnesses. When a child is fighting a life-threatening condition, the strain on the family is immense, and Beyond The Moon provides much-needed relief by sending these families on a holiday where they can enjoy precious moments together.
For many families, these trips are an opportunity to escape the relentless cycle of hospital visits, treatments, and anxiety, giving them a chance to create lasting memories during incredibly challenging times.
At PREMIER SUITES, we’re honoured to support Beyond The Moon and help make these experiences possible. Our involvement in this initiative goes hand-in-hand with our core belief in supporting and caring for people—whether they are our guests or members of the wider community.
Sustainability and Supporting Local Irish Producers
At PREMIER SUITES, sustainability and supporting local businesses are pillars of our CSR strategy. We understand the importance of reducing our carbon footprint, supporting homegrown talent, and contributing to the Irish economy. This commitment is reflected in several key initiatives across all of our properties.
One of the ways we achieve this is by ensuring that our guests enjoy Butlers Chocolates, a renowned Irish brand, during their stay. By partnering with Butlers Chocolates, we not only provide our guests with a taste of Ireland’s finest produce but also support a local business that shares our dedication to quality and sustainability.
Our suites in Dublin are adorned with beautiful, natural pure wool throws, designed and produced in Co. Donegal. These throws are more than just decorative items; they represent a commitment to using sustainable, locally sourced materials.
Wool is an incredibly eco-friendly material, known for its durability, biodegradability, and low environmental impact, and by choosing to work with local Irish producers, we reduce transportation emissions and support the traditional craftsmanship that is deeply rooted in Donegal. These wool throws are not only a nod to Ireland’s rich textile heritage but also a reflection of our focus on comfort, quality, and sustainability for our guests.
A Broader Vision for the Future
Our CSR efforts are constantly evolving, and we are always looking for new ways to integrate responsible business practices into our daily operations. At PREMIER SUITES, we understand that true corporate responsibility is about embedding ethical considerations into every decision we make. Whether it’s through initiatives that promote environmental sustainability, supporting local and national charities, or enhancing the experience of our guests with Irish-made products, we strive to be leaders in the CSR space.
Looking ahead, we have ambitious plans to further develop our CSR initiatives, including expanding our litter-picking efforts in Sandyford Business Park, increasing our support for Beyond The Moon, and continuing to source more sustainable, locally produced goods for our properties. We know that, as a business, we have a unique platform to inspire others, and we aim to set an example by creating positive ripple effects both locally and globally.
