For a year now, Austria has had a new deposit system for all beverage cans and bottles with a deposit logo. This is an important step toward sustainability and recycling.

For us, this is more than just a legal change: it is an opportunity to make a real difference. That is why we as a company are taking responsibility – for the environment and at the same time for people who need support. With the “Pfand mit Herz” collection boxes of the Samariterbund Floridsdorf-Donaustadt at our Vienna locations, we are combining both.

With every deposit bottle or beverage can we return, we are contributing to supporting people affected by poverty. The proceeds from the collected deposits help various social projects run by the Samariterbund, such as the operation of the social market. The "Pfand mit Herz" campaign combines commitment, sustainability, and a sense of community.

The collection boxes are not only practical—they are a visible sign of how we at RISE live up to our responsibility.

Together, we will continue to work hard in the new year to reduce waste and do good.
