Bks-Bank 2018.Pdf ANNUAL REPORT 2018 –PRESERVING THE VALUABLE OPEN TO THE NEW– The pace of digitalisation poses an enormous challenge to us. On the one hand, we have to make the new technologies part of our everyday routines, and on the other, we cannot disregard our fundamental values. The valuable handmade keys of the Schell Collection stand for the centuries-old need of people for privacy and security. A need that is more topical than ever in today’s digital age. In cyber-security, keys turn into encryption. Thus, the antique keys symbolize a treasure that must be preserved to guarantee protection and security for our customers in the future as well. SCHELL COLLECTION The Schell Collection currently has around 13,000 exhibition pieces making it one of the world’s largest collections of locks, keys, lockboxes, coffers, chests and ornamental cast iron objects. The objects on exhibit to the public are presented in a museum building erected for this purpose with 2,500 m2 of space located at Wienerstraße 10 in Graz. Of the numerous objects on exhibit, some are always on tour at other exhibitions and at partner museums. The entire collection was built up with private funds without any public means over a period of more than 50 years and constantly enlarged. Seven special-interest books with thousands of colour photographs of the objects have been published in German and English. We are thankful to the Schell Collection for the permission to use the images of the valuable objects in this Annual Report. www.schell-collection.com Hanns Schell HANNS SCHELL – SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR AND COLLECTOR Hanns Schell has been collecting locks and keys for over 50 years. He was born in Graz in 1938. At the age of 18, he started working at his parents business, Eisenwarengroßhandel Odörfer. In 1962, he married his wife Liselotte. They have five sons and one daughter. In 1969, Hanns Schell became the managing partner of the business. He worked to expand the company by opening new branches and through acquisitions. The steel trade company Filli in Klagenfurt was acquired in 1988 and with the help of Director A. Kropfitsch, the company was expanded to the size it has today. The company, Filli-Stahl became an important production and trade company on the Austrian market. Hanns Schell developed a passion for old locks early on motivated by his profession and also his mountain-climbing excursions. This passion led to the creation of today’s largest collection of locks, keys, lockboxes, coffers, chests and ornamental cast iron objects in the world. Today, Hanns Schell is active in “pre-retirement” in his own words. However, he has long since transferred the company to his sons. –3– TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS BKS BANK AT A GLANCE –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 6 – PREFACE BY THE CHAIRWOMAN OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD ––––––––––––– 7 – CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 13 – Corporate Governance at BKS Bank ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 14 – Management Board and Supervisory Board ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 17 – Remuneration Report –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 30 – Diversity Concept and Measures to Promote Women ––––––––––––––––––––––– 35 – Compliance Management System ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 38 – Independent Assessment of the Functionality of Risk Management ––––––––––––– 41 – Accounting and Disclosure –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 42 – Report of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board ––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 43 – INVESTOR RELATIONS ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 49 – BKS Bank’s Shares ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 50 – Investor Relations Communication –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 54 – CORPORATE STRATEGY ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 57 – Company Profile –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 58 – Mission Statement –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 59 – Strategy Process –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 61 – On the Right Path ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 62 – Strategy 2022 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 64 – GROUP MANAGEMENT REPORT ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 71 – Economic Environment ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 72 – Management and Organisational Structure ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 75 – Shareholders of BKS Bank AG –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 78 – Markets of BKS Bank ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 81 – Consolidated Companies and Equity Interests ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 85 – Assets, Equity and Liabilities ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 90 – Result of Operations ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 95 – Segment Report ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 102 – Consolidated Own Funds –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 114 – Risk Management –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 116 – Sustainability and Non-financial Performance Indicators ––––––––––––––––––––– 132 – Outlook –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 141 – –4– TABLE OF CONTENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PURSUANT TO IFRS ––––––––––––– 145 – Table of Contents - Notes –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 146 – Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the Financial Year 2018 ––– 148 – Consolidated Balance Sheet as of 31 December 2018 ––––––––––––––––––––––– 152 – Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 153 – Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 154 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of BKS Bank ––––––––––––––––– 155 – Company’s Boards and Officers –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 224 – Closing Remarks of the Management Board –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 225 – Profit Distribution Proposal ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 226 – Auditor’s Report ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 227 – ADDITIONAL NOTES ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 233 – Shareholder Structure of the 3 Banken Group ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 234 – History of Our Company ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 235 – Glossary ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 236 – List of Abbreviations –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 243 – Forward-looking Statements –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 246 – Publication Details –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 246 – Minimal deviations of the values in the tables and charts are due to rounding differences.

  • Utilization of Communal Autonomy for Implementing Additional Bilingual Names of Populated Places and Streets in Carinthia (Austria)
    GEGN.2/2021/71/CRP.71 15 March 2021 English United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names Second session New York, 3 to 7 May 2021 Item 12 of the provisional agenda * Geographical names as culture, heritage and identity, including indigenous, minority and regional languages and multilingual issues Utilization of communal autonomy for implementing additional bilingual names of populated places and streets in Carinthia (Austria) Submitted by Austria ** Summary An improved political climate between the German-speaking majority and the minority of Slovenes in the Austrian Province of Carinthia now allows the utilization of communal autonomy (a principle of the Constitution) to implement additional bilingual town signs and new bilingual street names. While that possibility always existed, implementation was not previously possible because the German-speaking majority in all bilingual communes but one would not have passed such a decision in favour of the minority. Now, the opportunity to implement bilingual place names in addition to the 164 defined in amendment No. 46/2011 to the National Minorities Act has been used by three communes in various ways. Experience has shown that the introduction of street names replacing bilingual names of populated places poses new challenges to bilingual communes. The recommendations of the Austrian Board on Geographical Names regarding the naming of urban traffic areas in 2017 (see E/CONF.105/21 and E/CONF.105/21/CRP.21) referred explicitly to the value of using field names and/or other traditional local names when applying new names. Those recommendations contributed to the conservation of traditional local place names of the minority as street names.

  • Palgrave Studies in Minority Languages and Communities
    Palgrave Studies in Minority Languages and Communities Series Editor Gabrielle Hogan-Brun Vytautas Magnus University Kaunas, Lithuania Worldwide migration and unprecedented economic, political and social integration present serious challenges to the nature and position of language minorities. Some communities receive protective legislation and active support from states through policies that promote and sustain cultural and linguistic diversity; others succumb to global homogenisation and assimilation. At the same time, discourses on diversity and emancipation have produced greater demands for the management of diference. Tis series publishes new research based on single or comparative case studies on minority languages worldwide. We focus on their use, status and prospects, and on linguistic pluralism in areas with immigrant or traditional minority communities or with shifting borders. Each volume is written in an accessible style for researchers and students in linguistics, education, politics and anthropology, and for practitioners interested in language minorities and diversity. We welcome submissions in either monograph or Pivot format.

  • The Slovene Minority in Carinthia, Austria
    TREATISES AND DOCUMENTS JOURNAL OF ETHNIC STUDIES RAZPRAVE IN GRADIVO REVIJA ZA NARODNOSTNA VPRAŠANJA 78 / 2017, p. 59–71 Daniel Wutti Between Self-Governance and Political Participation: The Slovene Minority in carinthia, Austria The article presents the political participation of the Slovene minority in Carinthia from the plebiscite of 1920 until the present. The changed electoral franchise agreed by the ruling parties in Carinthia in the 1970s blocked attempts of the minority to be incorporated adequately in a broader political sphere. The political actors of the minority followed two strategies: one of building up their own political structures in local parties and one of joining Austrian and Carinthian mainstream parties. This paper gives a brief overview of the minority’s struggle for self-governance and political participation. It introduces the organisational structure of the minority and its opportunities for political participation. Its aim is to deal with the question of which factors led to political differentiation and how to assess this. Keywords: Carinthian Slovenes, political participation, minority representation, differentiation, organisational structure. Koroški Slovenci med samoupravo in politično participacijo Članek predstavlja politično participacijo slovenske manjšine na avstrijskem Koroškem od plebiscita leta 1920 do danes. Sprememba koroškega volilnega reda v 70ih letih prejšnjega stoletja je preprečila zadnja prizadevanja za participacijo manjšine na širši politični ravni. Politični akterji manjšine so sledili dvema strategijama: ustanavljali so lastne politične strukture na lokalni ravni ali se vključevali v avstrijske in koroške večinske stranke. V članku avtor oriše prizadevanja manjšine za samoupravo in politično participacijo. Nato predstavi organizacijsko strukturo manjšine ter njene možnosti za politično participacijo. Ob tem obravnava vprašanji, kateri dejavniki so vplivali na politično diferenciacijo znotraj manjšine in kako gre le-to oceniti v smislu politične participacije.

Federal Law No. 46/2011 and its annexes rule that 164 settlements [Ortschaften] in southern parts of the Austrian federal province of Carinthia must have officially bilingual names. This number is based on a share of 17.5% Slovene-speaking population according to the population census 2001. Minor deviations from this percentage have been accepted, when this was found locally approriate. The number of 164 includes all 93 settlements bilingual already before the new law. The 164 settlements are dispersed over four Political Districts [Politische Bezirke], units of deconcetrated state administration at the lower regional level in Austria. A list of all officially bilingual settlement names structured by Political Districts and communes in alphabetical order supplements the paper. An enlarged number of official bilingual settlement names in Austrian Carinthia [Kärnten] 1.

  • Zur Mehrsprachigkeit Von Maja Haderlaps Roman Engel Des Vergessens
    INTERLITT ERA RIA 2021, 26/1: 155–172 155 „Die Sprache hat also ihren Ort.“ „Die Sprache hat also ihren Ort.“ Zur Mehrsprachigkeit von Maja Haderlaps Roman Engel des Vergessens DIETER NEIDLINGER, PASEWALCK SILKE PASEWALCK Abstract. “Die Sprache hat also ihren Ort.” On Multilingualism in Maja Haderlap’s Novel Engel des Vergessens. Based on philological research on multilingualism and with regard to Maja Haderlap’s literary work in general this article deals with the specific form of multilingualism that can be observed in her novel Engel des Vergessens (2011). Maja Haderlap, born 1961 in Bad Eisenkappel/Železna Kapla, Carinthia (region in southern Austria), grew up with two languages, Slovenian and German. The authors of the article pursue the question to what degree her literary work and especially her novel can be characterised as multilingual and what kind of poetic multilingualism can be found there. They focus on the novel’s narrative and on the use of language(s), with a short historical excursus on the Slovenian minority in Carinthia as well as the difficult memory politics in Austria. Maja Haderlap not only writes about the territorial and historical preconditions of multilingualism in Carinthia but also inscribes these conditions in the text itself, characterising both the narra- tive and the language. Although the novel is the result of a shift from Slovenian to German, its multilingualism can be analysed on different levels: on the level of the relationship between discours and histoire – to refer to Genette’s narrato- logical terms –, on the level of cultural codes of the Slovenian language within the novel’s German text, and in general with regard to the fact, that the text is written with the modes of expression of Slovenian and German or with the help of the ‘no man’s land’ between the languages.
