Responsibility for People and the Environment as a Living Practice
Social engagement and ecological sustainability are not just PR buzzwords at SALESIANER—they are integral to the company’s corporate strategy. For this commitment, the textile service provider was awarded the WRP Star in 2025.
SALESIANER has consistently engaged in social and environmental issues for years, supported equally by both management and employees. A key focus is inclusion in the labor market: in collaboration with social organizations, people with disabilities are specifically integrated into suitable workplaces. Reintegration projects and support in crisis situations are also part of the company’s social ethos. In addition, employees actively contribute through initiatives such as blood donation drives or participation in charity runs like the Wings for Life World Run. International branches also support sports and inclusion projects, such as a charity floorball tournament for wheelchair users in Prague.
As part of the critical infrastructure in the healthcare and industrial sectors, SALESIANER combines this engagement with high sustainability standards. Resource-efficient processes, textile recycling, the use of organic fair-trade cotton, and pilot projects for fiber reuse are central to its approach. Along the supply chain, the company holds its partners to clear sustainability standards and regularly monitors compliance.
This comprehensive commitment also pays off as an employer: according to Trend, SALESIANER ranks among the best employers in Austria and has received multiple awards from platforms such as Kununu and Best Recruiters.
