m², in collaboration with Georgian brands is now launching a new project.

In the scope of the project, Georgian brands inspired by new slogan of the m² - “Live Your Own Life” will produce new collection and any interested person will be able to purchase desired items. This collection will include items and accessories, which are used in daily life, including: t-shirts, laptop bags, smart phone cases, suitcases, passport covers, kimonos and others. This collaboration is a continuation of m2's CSR activities and it includes the support of Georgian companies.

At the current stage, 7 Georgian brands participate in the project: GIOVANNI MORRA, CARPETERIA, CASY, FUNDUKI, LOVESTARS, NINEA and MATTERS. Some of the brands are still working on the new collection, and some have already completed their works.

The website dedicated to the project will be created, where collection created in the scope of the collaboration will be available. The items will be available for purchase at partner companies’ websites or stores. Demonstration versions of the collection will be displayed at m² sales offices, where customers will be able to see the collection in real life.

“The idea of collaboration was born upon introduction of new platform for the brand, and was brought into life last year, during Mercedez-Benz Fashion Week Tbilisi. The new slogan “Live Your Own Life” was effectively integrated in the collection of designer Tako Mekvabidze. The main goal initially was and currently is to bring the slogan words closer to the customers. The products of our customers are used in daily life, and we aim the same, we want to remind people “Live Your Own Life,” live like no one else did. Always be who you are, unique and different” Irina Dumbadze, head of m² brand development department.

During her visit to Georgia, Ms. Katarina Mathernova, Deputy Director-General, DG NEAR, European Commission, visited a large-scale energy efficiency project implemented by the real estate developer m². The project was financed by the International Finance Corporation and the Green for Growth Fund, and supported by the EU. It is one of many EU-supported energy efficiency initiatives in Georgia.

The visit examined the measures m² is able to implement in the buildings due to the support, which include improved building insulation, modern boilers and appliances, and better insulated windows and doors. For the apartments constructed as part of this initiative, the total expected annual savings of CO2 are equal to planting 210,000 trees each year.

Speaking on behalf of the EU, Ms Mathernova noted: “The cheapest energy is the one you do not consume. As Georgia’s economy continues to grow, it is imperative to cut down energy use and harmful emissions, brining concrete financial benefits to the peoples, increasing their quality of life and climate protection. This is exactly what the EU, together with partners from International Financial Institutions, is helping to achieve in Georgia. We were here a year ago to launch discussions with the Government and other stakeholders on how to advance reforms enabling investment boost in energy efficiency. I am glad to be back to map out concrete steps with the government and development partner on this, but also to see that we are already on track in delivering benefits of energy efficiency to the citizens, as this project shows.”

m²’s Deputy General Director, Shorena Darchiashvili stated: "Since 2014, m² has been setting the standards for building energy-efficient complexes in Georgia. Caring for the environment is a key part of our corporate social responsibility. By constructing energy-efficient complexes, our company is saving a significant amount of resources.”

Green For Growth Director Olaf Zymelka, who accompanied Mrs Mathernova on the visit, stated: “The GGF has supported energy efficient buildings in Georgia since 2014 and the m²  project is a prime example of the fund’s commitment to energy savings and CO2 reductions in the country. We are very pleased that the European Commission, a long-standing partner of the fund, is on site to visit this project and further show their support of the fund’s work to enhance energy efficiency and foster renewable energy.”

In order to benefit from the GGF and EU support, m² was required to develop apartment buildings at least 20% more efficient than those built to standard Georgian construction practices. In return they received a USD 11.5 million loan, which took first risks for the investment, making it easier to raise capital from other lenders. The GGF also provided technical assistance to conduct energy audits and identify the most efficient manner to meet high energy standards.

This activity fully complies with the social child care policy of the country, which is oriented on closing large residential care institutions and creating care services which are maximally close to the family environment. The new service will allow the children with disabilities receive the care service which is based on their individual needs, in terms of health and education. This will create more opportunities for children to develop and to become fully-fledged persons’’, declares Zaza Sopromadze, the deputy Ministry of Labour, Health and Social Affairs.

In addition, m² will finance and take care of the plants during 1 year, which will be done by the professional agronomists. One of the main directions of m²'s  corporate social responsibility strategy is environment protection. That is why m² always takes care of the greenery at its residential complexes and other territories. 

We have thought a lot about a present for our residents. The decision we came up is that instead of sending a symbolic gift to each of you, we would change completely the life of one person, who really deserves to live better.

Get to know the Paralympian in Archery, a participant of the European Championship, Vano Tsiklauri. We, on behalf of our residents, have resented a fully adapted to his needs apartment. Soon Vano will become Optima Isani’s resident. He has already seen the construction site and is looking forward for a flat to be handed over to him.

Let us remind you that development company m² and non-governmental organization ‘Coalition for independent life’ signed a Memorandum of Cooperation on December 3, 2014. As a result of this Memorandum, m² becomes the first developer in the country to elaborate and introduce a universal design in the form of adopted standards which are in concordance with all existing norms.

Through its social responsibility program, m² funded adaptation of the Vazha Pshavela Avenue for people with disabilities.

Adaptation of Vazha Pshavela Avenue included equipment of sidewalks and crossings with 184 wheelchair ramps. The project was implemented under the financial assistance of m², the initiative of the group SocCodex and coordination of the social project Life Tree.

m² is committed to creating comfortable, healthy and safe environment for people within the frames of its current and future projects, including, facilities for disabled people. m² construction projects always take into account the facilities for people with disabilities.

m² stated about the social responsibility strategy. Environment protection, creating adapted environment for the disabled and supporting local educational institutions – these are the three main fields within the social responsibility strategy of the company.

This year, the first project of social responsibility was implemented on Nutsubidze str. near the construction site of m², at school No.126. The company renovated and equipped the computer classes, library and reading room. Also refurbished the sports playground. To encourage children to read and learn in a pleasant environment, m² also decorated the reading room and donated books to the library.
