Corporate Social Responsibility
Amsphere chooses to make a difference
Amsphere’s staff and management are passionate about corporate social responsibility (CSR). Our corporate social responsibility is guided by our core values.

Supporting our Society
HOPEHIV
As an organisation, we choose to make a difference in the society in which we live. We believe it is the responsibility of both individuals and the business to give back to those in need. As individuals, we do this in our personal time and as an organisation, we give part of our profits towards meeting our CSR goals. This year, Amsphere will be supporting the HOPEHIV charity and in particular The Samchild Hope Project in Samburu, Kenya. This project offers wider opportunities to children born into the tribal and poverty stricken rural community of Samburu by responding to the needs identified by them. HOPEHIV have built a community centre in Samburu which serves nine rural and isolated villages and now intends to equip the centre to provide vocational training to the young people in the community. Further information can be found on the following website: Samburu Samchild Project Amsphere have donated £10,000 to this project and if you would like to join us in our support of this initiative, please e-mail details of your donation to gesa.grabis@amsphere.com. Your contributions are much appreciated.
