Our responsibility

Getzner Holding

Our responsibility

We strive for business success, but as a company, we are also committed to our workforce and the environment. Credibility, transparency and corporate responsibility are the fundamental values that provide our basis. We consider sustainable business practices to be an essential precondition for the long-term success of our company.

Business success secures our future viability

As one of the region’s largest employers, we are highly aware of our corporate responsibility. Through strategic and future-focused business practices as well as smart investments into the company, we secure our success and thereby provide our employees, suppliers and customers with job security.

Responsibility for the region and its people

A good balance of give and take contributes considerably to our business success. Through our community activities that benefit the region and its people, we manage to maintain this good balance and make a positive contribution to successful local development.

What's important to us

Focus on employees

Community activities

We are aware of our responsibility towards our employees, because their drive has taken us to where we are today. We therefore support them in the areas of education and childcare, for example, through the construction of company homes and with healthcare offers.

Environment and sustainability

We continuously improve the production processes in our companies and design them to be as sustainable as possible. The most important measures include: Energy efficiency with the aid of state-of-the-art plant and equipment, meticulous monitoring of our water consumption, waste water recycling, waste product recycling.

District heating

By recovering heat internally, we are making an important contribution to environmental protection. The waste heat from the production processes is utilised to heat our facilities. It also supplies numerous public buildings in Bludenz with heating via a district heating grid.

Hydropower

Our power station with four hydropower plants produces the energy for all Getzner companies. By generating electricity in this way, we are making an important contribution to environmental and climate protection.

Works fire brigade

We believe in acting of your own accord and taking responsibility. The establishment of a works fire brigade which, for the most part, does not depend on the public water supply allows Getzner Textil to limit damages to the site to a minimum and also to support the Bludenz fire brigade, when necessary.

Representing industry and other interests

Our senior managers are voluntary members of various external interest and advisory committees. The local economy, policy-makers and public therefore also benefit from their expertise.

Development projects

We are fully aware of our ethical responsibilities. It is therefore particularly important to us to support development cooperation projects, like the building of schools and the financing of ambulances.
