Corporate Social Responsibility

Social responsibility is something we take very seriously – both with regard to our team and towards those members of society who are in need of our support. We regularly advise the following organisations on a pro bono basis:

Médecins sans frontières - a humanitarian aid organisation that provides medical assistance to populations in danger in more than 70 countries. (Nobel Peace Prize 1999).

Austrian Red Cross - a humanitarian aid organisation which provides emergency medical services and patient transport, health and community services, blood donation programmes, disaster relief and tracing services for missing persons. (Nobel Peace Prize for the International Committee of the Red Cross in 1917, 1944 and 1963).

Malteser Hospitaldienst Austria (Order of Malta) - a relief organisation that provides nursing services, care for the disabled and patient transport, while in addition organising visits, trips and events for the disabled, sick, elderly or lonely.

Aktion St. Lukas - an association created to facilitate medical aid convoys and to collect pharmaceutical donations. Together with the Order of Malta and Caritas, it distributes to people in need in Eastern Europe.

Haus Schönbrunn - a residential and nursing home operated by Caritas Vienna for elderly people and people in need of care.

Sterntalerhof - the first children´s hospice in Austria, it offers critically-ill children and their families holistic care and guidance using equestrian therapy.

CliniClowns - the first hospital clowns in Austria, they visit critically-ill children at their bedsides and make them laugh - a vital aid to their recovery.

The Wiener Konzerthaus - one of the most important institutions in the international music world, it offers a wide variety of events, including not only classical music but also vanguard productions, early music, jazz and contemporary music.
