Our purpose
So Sei Es
Fight poor taste. Fight real poverty. Half of the company's value goes to people in Austria who can't afford food.
“Amen” is often the last word before a meal. So we make sure everyone has something on the table.
Every can of Amen carries a promise. Not a marketing line, not a rounding error at the end of a good year — a fixed, automatic share of our profit that leaves our hands and lands on someone's plate.

How it works
50% of company value goes to fighting food poverty.
01
The need
Around 420,000 people in Austria depend on food assistance. Over 1.1 million live with food poverty. It is not a distant problem — it is a weekly queue in our own city.
02
The mechanic
50% of the company's value goes to people in Austria who can't afford food. It is written into how Amen is built, not decided case by case.
03
The partner
Caritas Le+O — Lebensmittel und Orientierung. Weekly food distribution paired with social counselling for households living in poverty.
Our partner
Caritas Le+O
Le+O stands for Lebensmittel und Orientierung — food and orientation. Caritas collects food that would otherwise be thrown away and hands it on at neighbourhood distribution points across Vienna.
- Weekly food packages for a symbolic contribution, for households living below the poverty line.
- Social counselling on site — rent, debt, benefits, work — so a food package is also a way out.
- Run largely by volunteers, with rescued food from retailers and producers.
Fight poor taste.
Fight real poverty.
One beer won't end food poverty. A whole brewery pointed at it might make a dent. So sei es.
