The requirement for participation in the “RKI-Kulinarik-Preis” was a specific relationship between the product or business of the participating exhibitor and the issues of sustainability or climate protection. The opportunity was used extensively to submit diverse projects by the end of March 2016, which were then evaluated by an expert jury. The three winning Austrian companies demonstrated great commitment to sustainability as well as exceptional creativity. The awards went to ADAMAH Biohof, Wiesmayer Wild and Manufaktur Meislmichl. Cooperation with “Daphne Umwelttechnologiepreis 2016” (Daphne Environment Technology Award) The Austrian “Daphne Umwelttechnologiepreis” (Daphne Environment Technology Award) has been supported by the service magazine “Umweltschutz” since 1985 and is given out by the cooperation partner Austrian Economic Chambers (WKO). It is one of the most prestigious environmental technology awards in Austria. RKI presented this renowned award, which recognizes outstanding environmentally friendly projects, for the third time in 2016.

Cooperation with the student platform “oikos Vienna” The cooperation with the student organization “oikos Vienna” was continued for the fifth time during the winter semester of 2016. A joint event focusing on the topic of “Sustainable Finance Day” was held on 11 October at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. The speakers were Tanja Daumann (RZB AG), Christophorus Lehmann (Valida) and Wolfgang Pinner (Raiffeisen KAG). The goal was to give the students an insight into the challenges of a sustainable financial sector. After listening to the speakers, the students participated in workshops in which they worked on solving three assigned tasks under the instruction of the presenters. The results were then presented to all attendees. Implementation of the Sustainability Weeks The Sustainability Weeks were held in the Raiffeisen employee restaurant in Vienna for the seventh time in June 2016. The focus here was on regional, vegetarian and vegan food. A competition was organized for employees. Three vouchers for a vegetarian restaurant in Vienna were raffled of at the event. The campaign will also be implemented in 2017 due to the outstanding feedback and the high level of guest participation. © Christian Jobst © Michael Hetzmannseder © oikos Vienna © wdw4friends
