Ölz Jobrad-Aktion

Jobrad campaign

The employees Ölz Meisterbäcker have been riding hard - since 2021 the family company has been successfully running the Jobrad cycling programme to support the health of its workers. This campaign unites two things that are close our heart: Health and sustainability - including on the way to work. 

This helps everyone do their bit for the environment - and for their own health. Everyone who gives up the car and decides to make their way to work by bike is also making a contribution to more environmentally friendly mobility by reducing CO2.

Around 150 Ölz employees throughout Austria have made use of the Jobrad scheme. During the campaign period, employees could get a grant and favourable financing to buy a bike. Our goal is to further increase the number of employees who choose to commute to work by bike.
