Salzburg Marathon goes green
Back in 2010 Salzburg Marathon was the first sports event in Austria to get certified as an organic event by the Salzburger Landwirtschaftliche Kontrolle (SLK). This is a special honour and a further confirmation on our way to a green event. In the following year, the certification was verified.
„We provide organic food that derives from regional cultivation. If this is not possible (for example bananas) we use organic fair-trade products“, explains CEO Johannes Langer. Special thanks go to our premium partners BIO AUSTRIA and „natürlich für uns“.
BIO AUSTRIA
BIO AUSTRIA is an organisation of 13,000 organic farmers in Austria. Organic farmers already cultivate more than fifty percent of the agricultural area in the region of Salzburg – the highest percentage in the whole European Union. „There is an important coherence between organic food, healthy alimentation and sports. That’s why we support the Salzburg Marathon“, says Andreas Schwaighofer, CEO of BIO AUSTRIA.
„natürlich für uns“
„natürlich für uns“ is an organic own brand of the „Pfeiffer Gruppe“ an austrian wholesaling company. It unites enduring und organically food into one brand, commited to a respectful behaviour towards nature, animals and environment.
