Donation of Laptops to the Malta Trust Foundation

Grant Thornton Malta believes in a sustainable future. As one of its CSR initiatives, it opted to donate 50 of its decommissioned laptops to the Malta Trust Foundation in support of its ‘Your Device Your Right’ initiative. 

Her Excellency Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca was presented with the laptops by Chris Farrugia, Partner responsible for IT at Grant Thornton Malta. 

“We make sure that our employees always have the best technology to work with, so we rotate laptops within the firm regularly and the laptops we are donating can now be used further by those in need,” said Chris Farrugia, who heads the IT department responsible for maintaining the hardware resources of the firm. 

“Sustainability is one of the Grant Thornton strategic pillars, as such we make sure that our IT hardware is not just disposed of in landfills, but if they are still in good working condition, they are given a second lease of life through projects like ‘Your Device Your Right’.  Furthermore, through this initiative, we will also be supporting disadvantaged students whose families do not afford to purchase a laptop, to further their education and succeed in life,” said Charmaine Farrugia, General Manager at Grant Thornton Malta. 

H.E. Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca has stated “I commend Grant Thornton Malta for their foresight.  Through this donation, the company not only is contributing towards a more sustainable future and achieving its corporate social responsibility, but it is making a difference in the lives of so many vulnerable children. 

My heartfelt thanks and appreciation go to Mr Joe Pullicino, Mr Chris Farrugia and Ms Charmaine Farrugia, for their generosity and thoughtfulness.”
