Stronger together. Sugar, Starch and Fruit: It is thanks to the very diversity of our products’ applications in industry that the combination of these three pillars has proved a solid and stable base for our company. Together, the three business segments not only generate synergies in production and marketing, but also create long-term growth potential independent of segmental market fluctuations. Sugar € 672.6 million Revenue of the Sugar segment declined by 8.0% from the year before, to € 672.6 million. Sugar sales prices, especially for product sold to the sugar-using industry and to food retailers, were significantly lower than in the prior year, but growth was achieved in sales volumes of quota sugar, particularly to the food industry. While exports to countries outside the EU decreased, sales of non-quota sugar to the chemical industry were held almost at the year-earlier level. Fruit € 1,083.4 million The Fruit segment successfully defied the tough market conditions prevailing in its fruit juice concentrates business in the 2015|16 financial year. Sales revenue of the segment grew by 2.0% to € 1,083.4 million. Sales quantities of fruit preparations were up slightly from the previous year and, coupled with an increase in sales prices, led to revenue growth of about 8% in this division of the Fruit segment. The fruit juice concentrates division, on the other hand, saw a revenue reduction of 18% as a result of a sharp decline in selling prices for apple juice concentrate from the 2014 crop. Starch € 721.6 million The Starch segment delivered a robust top- line performance. At € 721.6 million, revenue even slightly exceeded that of the prior financial year.The areas of revenue growth included the bioethanol business, which benefited from higher selling prices, and the sector of wet starch derivatives, where sales volumes rose. By-products generated slightly less revenue than in the prior year as a result of lower raw material prices, and sales reductions in saccharification products reflected the lasting low prices in a difficult European sugar market. Supplying what makes industries run. Our versatile Starch segment impresses with its outstanding product diversity, its high degree of value added and its wide range of applications. We supply a large number of very different industries, and the product portfolio of the Starch segment could not be more varied: Food ingredients, infant formula, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products, feedstuffs and fertilisers, technical applications in the paper, textile and construction materials industries, and climate- friendly bioethanol for blending into petrol. Added to this is our leading position in organic and GMO-free starches. Diversity and unity. We are proud of the vast number of uses our products find in everyday life: The range extends from sugar for foods, to starch for textiles and other non-food applications, to fruit preparations for yoghurts and fruit juice concentrates. Taken together, AGRANA’s products are indispensable both in commercial and in private daily life. Bringing variety to life.

Succeeding together. With the growing competition in the market- place, collaboration along the whole value chain is an important success factor. Cooperation to us means not only cultivating the team spirit among our approximately 8,600 employees1 Harvesting together. on six continents but also fostering close and constructive relationships with our partners.

In the field together. Our established global network of agricultural advisors ensures that we remain in personal touch with our contract growers. Discussion forums with top management as well stimulate an active exchange of ideas with suppliers, especially beet and potato growers. This dialogue encourages trust and understanding, ultimately letting us develop solutions together to meet the chal- lenges that may exist. United in thinking of tomorrow. Economic success is what drives us, but our respon- sibility to society as a whole is a constant guiding principle in our work. Through respect for people and the environment at all our sites worldwide, we thus create a shared culture of care that also honours the needs of future generations. Taking sustain- able action. At AGRANA we strive not only to com- pletely utilise all our agricultural raw materials and to ensure all our pro- duction processes are as eco-friendly and energy-saving as we can make them, but also to advance sustainable production conditions in the upstream supply chain. For instance, in the farm sustainability self-assessment using the criteria of the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI), one-half of our contract-based European beet growers and Austrian potato growers achieved gold status and the other half attained silver standing. Leading energy efficiency. In autumn 2015 at our sugar factory in Kaposvár, Hungary, a plant was installed which upgrades biogas (pro- duced from spent beet pulp and other residues) into biomethane and feeds it into the local natural gas network.

  • Notes of Michael J. Zeps, SJ
    Marquette University e-Publications@Marquette History Faculty Research and Publications History Department 1-1-2011 Documents of Baudirektion Wien 1919-1941: Notes of Michael J. Zeps, S.J. Michael J. Zeps S.J. Marquette University, [email protected] Preface While doing research in Vienna for my dissertation on relations between Church and State in Austria between the wars I became intrigued by the outward appearance of the public housing projects put up by Red Vienna at the same time. They seemed to have a martial cast to them not at all restricted to the famous Karl-Marx-Hof so, against advice that I would find nothing, I decided to see what could be found in the archives of the Stadtbauamt to tie the architecture of the program to the civil war of 1934 when the structures became the principal focus of conflict. I found no direct tie anywhere in the documents but uncovered some circumstantial evidence that might be explored in the future. One reason for publishing these notes is to save researchers from the same dead end I ran into. This is not to say no evidence was ever present because there are many missing documents in the sequence which might turn up in the future—there is more than one complaint to be found about staff members taking documents and not returning them—and the socialists who controlled the records had an interest in denying any connection both before and after the civil war. Certain kinds of records are simply not there including assessments of personnel which are in the files of the Magistratsdirektion not accessible to the public and minutes of most meetings within the various Magistrats Abteilungen connected with the program.

  • Cu/Hs 211 Vienna's Victuals
    CU/HS 211 VIENNA’S VICTUALS: A CULTURAL HISTORY OF FOOD AND DRINK IES Abroad Vienna DESCRIPTION: Have the Viennese always eaten schnitzel or wiled away the afternoon in a coffeehouse with strudel and a mélange? How has the history of the Habsburg Empire and the more recent history of the Second Republic affected what the Viennese eat and drink? What is “Viennese cuisine” anyway? With help from the recent turn to food studies in disciplines as diverse as history and hotel management, students will explore why we eat and drink what we do, how those food choices may have been different historically, and how “our” dining and drinking choices differentiate us from “others.” Field trips to Vienna’s iconic markets, historic tavern neighborhoods in Ottakring, chocolate producers, breweries, and cafes breathe life into the history and culture of Vienna’s victuals. CREDITS: 3 CONTACT HOURS: 45 LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION: English PREREQUISITES: None. ADDITIONAL COSTS: Estimated total cost for optional food/beverage purchases and tour fees during course-related outings and review assignments: €40-€75 SPECIAL NOTE: Moderate alcohol consumption is an optional component of the course. METHOD OF PRESENTATION: Seminar intermingling Informal lectures with discussion Course-related trips Student presentations Moodle REQUIRED WORK AND FORM OF ASSESSMENT: Assignments will focus on developing writing and presentation skills. Students will keep a journal of course-related outings along with their visits to various other food and beverage-related places. The final project will consist of a choice between a conventional research paper and a creative project (see below for possible projects).

  • NPDA 42 2016: Guiding Concepts for Conservation of the Lower Austrian Green Belt. Schweiger
    Heft 42/2016 Guiding Concepts for Conservation of the Lower Austrian Green Belt Das Europäische Grüne Band erstreckt sich entlang des ehemaligen Eisernen Vorhangs durch ganz Europa und ver- bindet dabei ausgedehnte, naturnahe Biotopflächen und wertvolle Kulturlandschaften mit wachsenden Siedlungsräu- men und intensiv genutzten Agrarlandschaften. Diese Studie beschäftigt sich mit dem momentanen Status Quo der Initiative Grünes Band Österreich, sie gibt Einblick in den Wert der Landschaften dieser Region für den Naturschutz und bietet konkrete Vorschläge für die zukünftige Entwicklung der Initiative Grünes Band Österreich und der Nie- derösterreichischen Grenzgebiete. Eva Schweiger Guiding Concepts for Conservation of the Lower Austrian Green Belt Eva Schweiger, 2015 Abstract Stretching across Europe along the former Iron Curtain, the European Green Belt connects large undisturbed natural biotopes and valuable cultural landscapes with developing urban areas and intensively used agricultural landscapes. The European Green Belt initiative’s main goal is to preserve and restore a pan-European ecological network with a connecting function for species and habitats as well as for conservation work. This study investigates the current status quo of the Austrian Green Belt initiative in regard of organisational structures and conservation activities. Furthermore, a spatial analysis of one specific part of the Austrian borderlands, the Lower Austrian Green Belt, sheds light on the value of this region’s landscapes for nature conservation and clearly shows that the Iron Curtain’s preserving effect is still present in proximity to the border. The conserved valuable cultural landscapes and (semi-) natural biotope areas can and should contribute to the Lower Austrian Green Belt’s integrity and the functioning of the ecological network.

  • Working for the IAEA
    Working for the IAEA A Guide for US Citizens 2018 Edition Working for the IAEA A Guide for US Citizens 2018 Edition From the Editors This Guidebook is intended to provide practical information for United States citizens embarking on or considering an assignment at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria. Since its first appearance in 1989, the Guidebook has been revised frequently to reflect changes occurring at the IAEA, within the United States Support Program to IAEA Safeguards (USSP), and in Vienna. The 2018 Edition reflects these changes at the time of publication. Nevertheless, IAEA salaries, allowances, and other benefits change, as do telephone numbers, addresses, and websites. Currency exchange rates, prices, and store hours in Vienna inevitably fluctuate. We regret any inconvenience this may cause our readers. The 2018 Edition of the Guidebook was prepared by the International Safeguards Project Office (ISPO) under the auspices of the USSP and was published by Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL).
