Social commitment and responsibility are core values of our corporate philosophy. At BOI, we want to share our success: Together — including with private contributions from our employees — we purchased food and donated it to a Red Cross social market.
With a car packed to the brim, we set off for Leonding: A full load of groceries, especially long-lasting items, was delivered directly on site. The staff at the social market in Leonding are all volunteers and were very grateful to receive a larger supply of non-perishable food.
With our in-kind donation, we want to set an example and make a concrete contribution to greater solidarity and cohesion in our society. Since social markets rely heavily on donations, initiatives like this are particularly valuable: they help maintain the selection of goods and support people in difficult life situations.
The social market is aimed at people with very low incomes, such as single parents, families, people affected by illness and long-term unemployment, as well as minimum pensioners affected by poverty in old age. There, they have the opportunity to purchase urgently needed food and everyday necessities at greatly discounted prices.
