The STRABAG commitment: We are aware of our social responsibility. For this reason, we support selected humanitarian and cultural organisations:

Salzburg native Gustav Kuhn found his second home in the small Tyrolean village of Erl, which lies about halfway between Kufstein and Rosenheim. Erl was already famous for its traditional passion plays before Kuhn founded the Tiroler Festspiele Erl, a festival of the performing arts, in 1997. For the past decade, music lovers from all over the world have been flocking to this little stronghold of festival culture.For more information, visit http://www.tiroler-festspiele.at/

They are at the mercy of disease, violence and abuse: children of all ages, searching for safety and shelter. CONCORDIA has found a way to help the children living on the streets of Romania and Moldova. Every day, CONCORDIA street workers do their job – stilling the worst hunger and dressing the wounds. They see people in need and they help. Many street children find a new home at CONCORDIA. For more information, visit http://www.concordia.co.at/
