WALSER takes on even more social responsibility!

We are proud to be a member of the UNICEF Backbone Society Lounge and take our responsibility for children around the world seriously.

In many countries, children suffer from hunger crises caused by natural disasters, wars and conflicts. We refuse to look away and have therefore decided to become part of the UNICEF Backbone Society Austria. The United Nations Children’s Fund fights in over 190 countries to protect the rights of every child – and against hunger! With our monthly contribution – in favor of UNICEF Austria – we support the funding of nutrition programs to ensure that every child can grow up full and healthy.

We share common values with UNICEF Backbone Society Lounge and are committed to the following principles:

  • No manufacturing of breastmilk substitutes in violation of the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes.
  • No violation of UN sanctions and UN Security Council resolutions.
  • No human and/or labor rights violations, no serious environmental violations.
  • Special care in the selection of our partners in the food and beverage industry, the raw materials industry and the pharmaceutical industry.

We are firmly committed to supporting children in need and working with UNICEF Backbone Society to ensure that every child has the chance for a better future.
