True concern.
Focussed on people.
Since our foundation, caring for the world around us has been part of our philosophy. On the one hand, this includes nature, which gives us the basis for our life. And on the other hand, people. We therefore support a number of social organisations and initiatives. The projects we fund support children in all aspects of life, people in difficult situations and all those who work for them. Our partners can rely on us for this.
Partnership without vanity.
We’re there where help is needed. We make no demands. We don’t insist on being mentioned by name, nor do we want to appear boldly as a sponsor. For us, it’s the deed that counts rather than being spoken about. That’s why we often help in the background as an initial sponsor for projects that lack necessary funding. Also, because it’s often easier to find further sponsors with an initial sponsor.
Global company, local care.
We have been supporting many of the initiatives we sponsor for years or even decades. In addition, we fund special individual initiatives from Austria and around the world that are close to our hearts: for example, we have been involved for many years with SOS Children’s Villages, Rainbows, the Red Cross and work as an „Impact Angel“ with CONCORDIA. We also support, for example, Doctors Without Borders, the Vinzi Village, World Vision, the Aid to the Blind, Amnesty International, the Ute Bock Refugee Initiative – and many more.
Als international tätiges Unternehmen engagieren wir uns mit sozialen Initiativen an all unseren Standorten – für all unsere Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter. Zum Beispiel in unserer Produktionsstätte in Rumänien oder in unserem Werk in Vellore, Indien. Dort kümmern wir uns mit einem eigens eingerichteten Shuttle-Service darum, dass unsere Schuhmacherinnen und Schuhmacher morgens von zuhause abgeholt und abends wieder nach Hause gebracht werden. Dabei werden die Schichten mit ihnen abgestimmt, damit sie Privates und Berufliches optimal vereinbaren können.
Wir unterhalten vor Ort einen Kindergarten und eine 10-stufige Schule, die 500 Kinder ab dem 4. Lebensalter bis zur mittleren Reife führt und leisten darüber hinaus einen Beitrag für die Gemeinde.
