The 'Pink Ribbon' campaign

As the largest health insurer in Austria, we support the “Pink Ribbon” campaign to raise awareness of the dangers and prevention options of breast cancer. Like many other buildings, monuments and sights throughout the world, the UNIQA Tower was blanketed in pink light on 1 October.

Joint initiative for climate protection

Twelve companies of the Austrian Raiffeisen organisation founded a private initiative against climate change in 2007, out of feelings of social responsibility. The Raiffeisen Climate Protection Initiative (RKI) under the presidency of the former EU Commissioner of Agriculture, Franz Fischler, intends to contribute to emerging synergies in the area of energy efficiency and to sensitising large sections of the public with regard to climate protection.

Awarding of the GreenBuilding certificate of the EU.

Since the start of 2008, the UNIQA Tower can officially boast the EU “GreenBuilding” certificate. The Austrian energy agency recognised the striking building in Vienna as an “energy-conscious new building”. This makes the UNIQA Tower the first new office building in Austria to which this certificate has been issued. UNIQA also considered possible energy-saving measures with regard to their costs as well as economic and environmental advantages for the hotel project currently under construction on Praterstrasse.

Corporate social responsibility

70,000 €. As an act of corporate social responsibility, UNIQA and Raiffeisen Zentralbank donated another €70,000 to the mobile hospice of Caritas, for the care and treatment of patients with severe and untreatable illnesses.

UNIQA also makes a contribution to the conservation of endangered species. In addition to transport insurance for the transfer of two panda bears from China to the Vienna Zoo in Schönbrunn, UNIQA also took on custom insurance for the duration of the animals’ stay, including a newborn panda baby.
