While ensuring daily operations, the company donates a prepared batch of anti-virus protection equipment to the following organizations: the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Österreichs (Austrian Workers´ and Samaritans´ Association, ASBÖ), the Austrian Red Cross, the Austrian Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe (St. John Accident Assistance Organisation, JUH), the Medical Association of Vienna and the Medical Association of Lower-Austria.
