skki1Corporate Social Responsibility is often seen as an important and serious issue, but the Austrian embassy managed to twist it into a fun and sociable event.This year’s Austrian Charity Ski Race combined sports, competition and fun perfectly with fund raising and lured with its Austrian charm more than 500 guests. ECOVIS Beijing had the honor to join as an active participant, at the event.

Participants, including ambassadors and managers, from various countries and industries, got up early on Saturday morning to hit the slopes for charity. But they did not only offer skiing, but also various activities for the old, the young and the non-skier.You could cheer for the athletes while having a drink at the ice bar or challenge yourself at the skating rink. The Austrian Embassy also organized child care, games and activities for the kids. ski
 At the end of the day, everybody gathered for a group picture and returned to the hotel where we got back to the main reason for why we’re here.
Besides being a good day out, it also offered a great chance for networking, getting to know new people and, of course, charity work. The collected money is donated to a local Beijing organization called Little Flower Projects who care for abandoned infants with birth defects & nurturing growth and education of older disabled orphans.20140222_184122_meitu_2
Society and especially the economy can only grow with young people, and on this basis we are very happy that we could contribute our part in the form of participation.We would like to thank the Austrian Embassy for this great event and all the effort they put into it.We will definitely take the chance to participate next year again.
