Social Commitment & Sustainability
Our Commitment to Sustainability & Social Responsibility
As a medium-sized family business, it is part of our core values to make a positive contribution to both society and the environment. We firmly believe that business success and social responsibility can go hand in hand. That's why we are actively involved in various areas of corporate social responsibility.
Here are some of the key areas we focus on:
- Sustainable production and packaging
- Support for social initiatives in our region
- Partnerships with nonprofit organizations
- Health promotion through education and awareness
Delivered Green
We ship our products in a CO2-neutral way. This contributes to a positive climate footprint for both PANACEO and our customers.
PANACEO is committed to sustainability: We use renewable energy, conserve resources, and promote recycling.
- Our products are shipped CO₂-neutrally – a positive impact on both our carbon footprint and that of our customers.
- A photovoltaic system on the buildings owned by our founder has been generating 1,400 MWh of renewable energy annually for over five years – a major contribution to environmental protection in Carinthia.
- Our packaging is also designed with sustainability in mind: To protect the health of our customers, we use ultra-pure, 100% recyclable plastics – and we continuously improve them to further reduce our CO₂ footprint.
Through investments in social projects and initiatives, we contribute to positive social change.
- We support educational institutions and regularly collaborate with schools and universities on various projects. This not only promotes the development of young talent, but also strengthens the Carinthian business region and helps counteract youth migration.
- In 2022, the "Stars4Future" initiative was launched in cooperation with MJK Sports Marketing – a program aimed at promoting youth sports in Carinthia. PANACEO supported targeted campaigns throughout the year with dedicated budgets.
- For several years now, we have chosen not to give Christmas presents to our business partners. Instead, we donate generously to nonprofit organizations to support meaningful causes.
