The Austrian mechanical engineering company, Starlinger, has hired a sustainability manager, Clarissa Graf, to address the essential task of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Company stated that Graf has been actively defining the CSR measures since autumn 2019, for the internal and external implementation of the company strategy.

One of these measures is the membership in respACT, Austria’s leading corporate platform for responsible business practices.

“My task is to devise and implement a company-wide CSR strategy,” Starlinger sustainability manager, Clarissa Graf, said in a press release. “This strategy is being developed internally – for example in workshops – and is constantly extended through the participation in external events designed to promote an exchange of experiences as well as further training in the field of sustainability.”

Through her studies in the field of environmental management and ecosystem research, Graf combines her knowledge of natural cycles with business objectives and economic processes. In doing so, she relies on existing resources and a lively exchange with the entire group of employees as well as other companies.

“Sustainable business management has been a focus of our activities for many years,” Starlinger managing partner, Angelika Huemer, said. “In doing so, closed production circles and plastics recycling are key priorities. With the appointment of a sustainability manager and the membership in respACT, we will be able to address this topic even more intensively.”

The activities of respACT follow the principles of the worldwide initiative UN Global Compact as well as the UN Sustainable Development Goals – SDGs for short. This means that respACT and its members are committed to an inclusive and sustainable global development for the benefit of all people, communities and markets.
