When compared internationally, Austrian forests clearly distinguish themselves from those in other countries:
Green Finance is also focussing on sustainability when it comes to mobility in everyday working life. By 2023, 72% of our vehicles will be electric or hybrid. The aim is to increase this to 75% by 2024. To achieve this, combustion engines are gradually being replaced with hybrid or electric vehicles.
The Green Finance Group donated EUR 5,000 to St Isidor in the course of a painting project for the new Green Business Center Linz and will receive 26 paintings in return. The money will be used to support the children at Villa Kunterbunt.
Background: In St Isidor, children are supported in curative educational and fully supervised residential groups. The lives of the children and young people do not only unfold at school and in the residential groups. The children enjoy spending time at "Villa Kunterbunt" in Isidor, an educational recreational programme made available by their department.
For the purposes of sensible use of our vacant office building at Leberstrasse 122 in Vienna's 11th district, we made it available to the WEGA task force. WEGA used our building for shooting, tactics, hostage liberation and anti- terrorism exercises. The WEGA task force is a special unit of the Austrian police in the federal capital Vienna. WEGA is primarily required for operations with an increased degree of risk. Although WEGA has been reformed many times over the years, it is the oldest special police unit in Austria.
As a thank you for the opportunity to train with us in the empty building, WEGA organised an on-site demonstration where visitors could experience WEGA's professionalism live. This performance was, for all of us, an experience that will remain in our memories for a long time to come.
It is hard to imagine anything worse than finding out that your child is terminally ill. This makes it all the more important to use the time you have left together wisely. The Lichtblickhof is a residential home for children with serious and life-shortening illnesses. The team at the Lichtblickhof and the specially trained therapy horses and animals support families with the most difficult fates. Regardless of diagnoses and prognoses, it is possible here to gather moments of joy and strength for the tasks that remain to be accomplished. The Green Finance Group is financially committed to the Lichtblickhof and always donates a considerable amount of money to this wonderful institution in December.
On the occasion of the 40th birthday of our CEO, Dipl. Ing. (FH) Christian Schauer, the guests were asked to give donations to the Upper Austrian Children's Cancer Aid (Oberösterreichische Kinder-Krebs-Hilfe) instead of presents. This resulted in a hefty sum of EUR 4,845. The 40th-birthday celebration was held in a small but beautiful setting, with an 80s theme. Dipl. Päd. Christiane Mundl, Deputy Chairwoman of Upper Austrian Children's Cancer Aid also gave a speech and received the check on site.
Revitalisation of existing properties and restoration of usability for the regions.
In the municipality of Weng im Innkreis, an old building destined to be demolished stood in the middle of the town. Here, a long, vacant mixed area (an old farm with commercial space) is being completely revived. The building has now been demolished and professionally recycled and is being converted into modern and affordable living spaces.
A special focus is on recycling the old building: usable parts are sold, old wood is turned into wood carvings, the bricks are shredded and used for industrial construction, and the crushed concrete is used for the construction of the new building.
The new Green Business Centre Linz (GBC Linz for short) was completed in summer 2023. The new building is a sustainable showcase project and provides a new workplace for around 180 people. All meeting and training rooms for green finance sales are available at the GBC Linz and sales groups from all countries and federal states have the opportunity to view the GBC Linz on site or take part in training courses.
Our heating and cooling system is not only extremely economical to operate and maintain, but also 100% sustainable.
In the course of the underfloor heating, a raised floor with carpet was dispensed with and instead real wood parquet was installed in the offices and porcelain stoneware in the public areas. We therefore work with the highest quality and most durable floor coverings.
In 2019, construction began for the already leased property in Mauerkirchen in the state of Upper Austria. An old, vacant former furniture store was turned into a family and environmentally friendly rental property with 38 bright family apartments with a low energy standard.
A special focus was placed on realising maximum, and sensible, use of the area. Among other things, a communal garden with a children's playground was thus created on the roof terrace, which is available to all tenants.
The Green Business Center Wien (GBC Wien for short) is one of our flagship projects when it comes to sustainable real estate.
Construction will be completed in about 2027. Particular attention is paid to sustainability and resource conservation in the course of realisation.
For example, natural building materials, such as wooden floors, are laid in the office areas. Geothermal energy in the form of depth probes will be used for heating and cooling the building. Photovoltaic modules are also planned. A great deal of attention is also paid to minimising energy consumption: the aim is to optimise the building envelope.
