Social Commitment

Almdudler is right in the middle of life - including where people need our help. Through our charitable commitment, we live tolerance and warm togetherness.

Protecting the Local Alps

Alpine herbs are the basis of who we are. That is why protecting the Austrian Alps is a matter of course for us. In close partnership with the Austrian Alpine Club (ÖAV), we actively make a valuable contribution to preserving our mountain and Alpine pasture landscapes.

Among other initiatives, the "Clean Mountains" campaign was launched in 2010: all Alpine Club huts are equipped with rubbish bag dispensers. The organic bags made from biodegradable corn starch are available to hikers free of charge and are intended to encourage them to take their own rubbish, and rubbish left by others, down into the valley. It simply has no place in the mountains.

And because no path is too far and no mountain too high when it comes to protecting the Alps, we climb Austria's highest peaks every year to sign the "Manifesto of Clean Mountains" there. Our Almdudler Managing Director Gerhard Schilling is accompanied by mountain pioneer Peter Habeler and Ingrid Hayek, former Vice President of the ÖAV.

Tralalobe

The Tralalobe association, co-founded by Almdudler owners Michaela and Heribert Thomas Klein, supports people in need as they make a good start in Austria, their country of refuge. Unaccompanied refugee children, women and families, queer asylum seekers and young adults in training - Tralalobe accompanies people for part of their journey and gives them back a little security, lightness and joie de vivre. As a first step, they receive help through fair legal advice, protected housing and German language support. Tralalobe also arranges training and jobs and helps with personal concerns, including psychological support.

The Dudlerei

The Dudlerei is a project close to the hearts of our company founder Erwin Klein's grandchildren: Maximilian, Lara, Alena, Zoltan and Joe. Together they founded the charitable association to give children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds access to art and cultural institutions. Whether museum visits or theatre performances, the Dudlerei aims to promote art and culture, make them accessible to everyone and inspire the next generation.

Caritas

Through its countless projects, Caritas provides important help in our country. We consider two projects especially worthy of support: first, we donate to "Lernen macht Schule", a project in which students from the Vienna University of Economics and Business provide learning support to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Second, we support the "Funken Wärme" campaign. Through this aid campaign, people in need in Austria receive financial support so they can have a comfortably warm home during the cold season.

Aids Hilfe Wien

For many years, Almdudler has worked together with Aids Hilfe Wien in the fight against HIV and AIDS, calling for education, prevention and solidarity with those affected. The partnership stands for lived responsibility and an open, respectful society. For several years, a special edition of our iconic Almdudler bottle marked World AIDS Day on 1 December - to raise awareness, break down prejudice and strengthen those affected. All proceeds from sales went to Aids Hilfe Wien.
