Sunshine, soil, and good vibes! ☀️ We love to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty for a good cause - and not only figuratively speaking! Swappie Wellness & Culture Clubs kicked off with a session of rooftop gardening 🪴 It was so much fun to learn about home gardening and plants! Pizza and self made mojitos naturally completed the whole event 😉 These clubs are all about connecting with colleagues, nurturing new friendships, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome. We can't wait to see how our rooftop garden grows, but more importantly, how these connections continue to blossom 🌸 Stay tuned for more updates on our Wellness & Culture Club activities! #SwappieWellbeing #aroundforgood #communitybuilding

🌍 Exciting News from Swappie! 📱✨ Our mission at Swappie has always been clear: To reduce electronic waste and make high-quality refurbished smartphones accessible to more people.

Hence we are thrilled to announce that Swappie has secured a €17 million loan from the European Investment Bank, backed by the InvestEU guarantee.

It's 𝑬𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝑫𝒂𝒚 today🌍 The topic is very close to our hearts, as environmental sustainability is in the core of Swappie's business: 78% of the CO2 emissions connected with smartphones are created during the manufacture of a new device, so cutting out this side of the process has huge benefits. How we suggest to celebrate today is either 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥 your old iPhone to Swappie, or 𝐛𝐮𝐲 a pre-loved one from us, obviously😏, but we also want to share our lovely employee's top tips on how it's the small things done often that have the greatest impact. "We don't need a few perfect people, we just all need to be a little bit better!" Janne: Cycle to work! Nice way to start a day without causing emissions. Moona: Choose the veggie option at lunch. The production of meat is a notable contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, thus choosing the veggie option is good for the planet and also keeps my productivity high much longer in the afternoon! Emma: Walking to places instead of using a vehicle. It's good for your health – and the environment! Karin: Considered consumption, taking a breath before you purchase and asking yourself, "do I really need this?" Easier said than done, but great advice for shopping with intention. Also staycations and vacationing without flying are a good way to contribute for the cause! Robert: Pause to think. Think about what you can do today to create a better tomorrow for yourself and for your children. How about making an impact for the earth today by sharing Your best tips in the comment? Let's spread the word and stay sustainable! ♻️ Happy Earth Day to everyone! 💚

As Valentine’s day is celebrated as "Friends' Day" in many countries, the day is exceptionally precious to Swappie since according to our bi-weekly employee surveys, the majority of our employees feel that they see themselves making friends here at work 😍 Is there anything better than to work with like-minded and friendly people who accept and appreciate each other as the individuals that they are?! ✨ To celebrate friendships at work, today we have a lovely photo booth in both countries to commemorate the moments with good friends and colleagues. In Tallinn, people have been able to submit anonymous nice messages to each other throughout the week and the messages will be hand-delivered to their receivers with a piece of chocolate today. 💛 Happy Valentine’s Day from Swappie! 💛 #inclusiveculture
