Anniversaries are often a moment to reflect on achievements, express gratitude for trust, and introduce new plans for the future. Yet, they are also an opportunity to recognize what truly sets companies apart – their role in the community. As Elpi Comerc celebrates 30 years of successful business, we wish to highlight an example of social responsibility which, although carried out last year, continues to send a powerful message of support to the most vulnerable.

Elpi Comerc, a leader in carpets, runners, wall-to-wall flooring and other floor coverings, donated carpets, runners and doormats to help furnish the Small family home in Ledići which operates under the Cantonal public institution Home for children without parental care Sarajevo and is managed by Foundation Second. This donation contributed to creating a warmer, safer and more comfortable environment for children in alternative care, children coming from high-risk family situations, and those going through the reintegration process.

Thanks to this support, the home in Ledići became a place where children can feel the comfort and normalcy they often lack. Every carpet, every runner and every detail helped bring a sense of home, safety and care. Through this gesture, Elpi Comerc demonstrated that social responsibility is not just a part of a business strategy, but a value that is lived.

The programs of Foundation Second are aimed at building a supportive, stable and nurturing environment for children without parental care and children from at-risk families. These are long-term processes that require dedication, partnership and a deep understanding of community needs. Examples like the support of Elpi Comerc remind us how important it is for other companies to get involved – regardless of their size, industry or scope of work. 

A donation can be material, but it can also be symbolic, professional, voluntary or logistical. Every contribution, when directed toward a child growing up without stability, becomes an investment in their future.

We therefore invite other companies to recognize the value of investing in the community. Social responsibility is not merely an act of goodwill – it builds trust, shapes values and leaves a lasting impact that goes beyond business results. The example of Elpi Comerc shows how a single gesture can transform a space, and even more importantly, the lives of those who live in it.

Foundation Second remains open to cooperation with all companies and individuals who wish to contribute to creating better conditions for children. Together we build homes – and a safer future.
