Hofer revolutionized the deposit system: donations for the Red Cross!

Österreich - Hofer introduces a significant innovation in his deposit system. From now on, customers can donate their deposit bons for social purposes. With this initiative, Hofer wants to contribute to charity, with the donated amounts to benefit the Austrian Red Cross and the Austrian children's cancer aid. This measure is part of Hofer’s extensive sustainability strategy "Today for tomorrow".

Customers have the option of deciding on the return machines in all branches whether they want to keep or donate the credit of their pawnbon. The machines are strategically placed directly at the entrances of the branches, which enables customers to conveniently return their deposit items before purchasing. Furthermore, Hofer ensures that comprehensive information is provided in the pledge rooms in order to make the return process transparent and to make it easier for customers to make the decision.
