R.U.S.Z primary objectives are resource efficiency and social inclusion. R.U.S.Z provides repair services for household appliances, consumer electronics and IT. It sells certified, high-quality used equipment as well as new washing machines and dryers that were diagnosed in the in-house R&D department as particularly durable and easily repairable. R.U.S.Z has been leading many initiatives, to replicate its model and also lift the barriers it is facing and change policies, both in Austria and Europe.R.U.S.Z was among the initiators of the Austrian umbrella organization RepaNet ( www.repanet.at ) and its EU equivalent RREUSE ( www.rreuse.org ), which gather social enterprises with activities in reuse, repair and recycling. These networks help making advocacy work successful. Besides, R.U.S.Z is raising awareness about planned obsolescence, with 200 relevant editorial contributions published over the last eighteen months. The next step is to make publicly available a white list registering the large household appliances and consumer electronics devices, which comply with ONR 192102, the label of excellence for electric and electronic appliances designed for easy repair (developed jointly by the Ministry of Life, the Austrian Standards Institute and R.U.S.Z). EU institutions are also targeted so that they include durability and reparability criteria in the Ecodesign Directive, as well as in the energy efficiency label. R.U.S.Z has already received the Vienna Environmental Award 2013 for its work on Planned Obsolescence .

Listed skills include Umweltpolitik, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Word, Unternehmensstrategie, and 13 others.
