Support for social projects instead of classical Christmas presents

This year, Getzner is set to surprise everyone with a rather special Christmas present: They will be making donations this year instead of giving Christmas presents to customers and colleagues. The entire budget for presents will be given to two charitable organisations in Vorarlberg who are involved in integrating disadvantaged people into work.

Social employment projects such as the INTEGRA in Wolfurt Employment Initiative and the Caritas Workshop in Ludesch provide an important service within society. The financial donation which we will make towards these employment projects will help needy people, which goes to the very root of the tradition of Christmas," pointed out Jürgen Rainalter, Getzner's managing director, explaining the decision to donate the present budget.  The INTEGRA Employment Initiative in Wolfurt and the Caritas Workshop in Ludesch support the employment of people with disabilities and the integration of the long-term unemployed into work.

Many years of cooperation with social employment projects
The INTEGRA Employment Initiative in Wolfurt and the Caritas Workshop in Ludesch combine many years of cooperation with Getzner: INTEGRA has looked after Getzner's brochure depot for some years and assembles packs of brochures on request for distribution to existing and prospective customers. The organisation helps long-term unemployed people get back into work. The Caritas Workshop in Ludesch, on the other hand, has been producing product samples for Getzner for a long time. It provides employment to over thirty people in an atmosphere where they feel appreciated.
