Colour for Change: Painting more than walls
Small underprivileged areas a.k.a “Cités”, are found all over the island of Mauritius. Overcrowded with narrow streets and dull houses, they often suffer from a bad reputation due to illicit drug and alcohol abuse. Sofap, the leading local paint manufacturer, believes they can contribute to the embellishment of these Cités, thus improving their quality of life. A question was then raised. How can colour be used to change the general perception of the public towards the forgotten areas? Colour for Change was launched. A programme that brings colour and connects people. To inspire, motivate, assist, educate and empower. Colours have an influence on our mood and have psychosensory effects on each of us. Warm colours, cool colours, neutral tones... In a room, colours create an atmosphere that will determine how we use it.
Refuse, Reduce, Rethink, Reuse, Repair and Recycle.
Sofap has communicated widely on a zero-waste objective by 2023. We operate within the widely recognised waste hierarchy, Refuse, Reduce, Rethink, Reuse, Repair and Recycle to better previous performances. This objective is bold considering that there are no adequate recycling facilities for industries in Mauritius.
