”Ökoenergieblog“ (Eco Energy Blog)
The eco energy blog covers four different thematic areas: Energy production
and efficiency, the mobility sector, environment and economics, and sustainability.
Contributions are made by internal as well as external authors (e.g. by the
RNI, RBI, Raiffeisen-Leasing, Raiffeisen-IT, Raiffeisenlandesbank OÖ,
Raiffeisen Kapitalanlage, Biomasseverband, Ökosoziales Forum, Dachgold).
It is a good communication channel for the RNI, its member organizations and
topics. Further information is available at www.oekoenergieblog.at
Vehicle fleet assessment
RNI members have assessed their own vehicle fleet every year in cooperation
with Raiffeisen-Leasing GmbH. This gives the participating organizations
an overview of their vehicle fleet’s average CO2emissions as well as a
corresponding benchmark. The 2018 evaluation of the fleet survey shows that
the CO2 value has fallen by an average of 6g CO2/km compared with the
previous year, with the average now amounting to 131g CO2/km. Ten of the
17 participating RNI companies are currently below the target of 130g CO2/km.

RNI networking event
The sixth RNI networking event was held at RBI on June 13. Andrea Sihn-
Weber (Managing Director of the RNI) welcomed guests with a presentation
entitled “Can digital transformation make society more sustainable?”. This
was followed by a podium discussion with Christine Antlanger-Winter (CEO
of Mindshare Austria), Roland Fink (Managing Director of niceshops), Franz
Fischler (Chair of the RNI), and Walter Mösenbacher (Managing Director
of Raiffeisen e-force). The podium discussion was led by Stephan Strzyzowski,
editor-in-chief of “Die Wirtschaft” magazine.
Cooperation with the ”Genuss-Festival“ (Good Food Festival)
2018 marked the third year of cooperation with the Good Food Festival,
which took place from May 11 to 13. The “Raiffeisen Sustainability Initiative
Product Award 2018” was presented to environmentally friendly and
sustainable projects among the around 190 exhibitors. There were more than
50 submissions in all. The specialties under consideration were selected by
an expert jury on the basis of clearly defined criteria, such as the raw materials
used, lack of chemical additives, use of energy, environmentally friendly packaging, and use of local resources. The
prizes were awarded to the ADAMAH food basket, Mauracher Laib bread, and the “Sportsfreund” tea blend.
Cooperation with the “Resource Forum Austria”
A two-year cooperation with the association “Resource Forum Austria” was
launched for the first time. The association was formed in September 2013
and is based in Salzburg. Its aim is to build up knowledge of resource
efficiency, which is becoming an increasingly important topic in national and
international politics and is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century.
The symposium “Bioeconomy as an opportunity for innovation” was held on
March 15, 2018. A conference will be held in early 2019.
