Júlia Takács, founder and managing director of CSR Hungary, founder and president of EMVFE (First Hungarian CSR Association):
“The Hungarian Business Responsibility Award, the CSR Hungary Award program, has become an effective and recognized platform for sharing best practices, benchmarking and learning from each other. This program offers organizations an annual opportunity to build trust and awareness among stakeholders. By presenting their responsible and sustainable management. Our CSR Hungary brand, which has served as a complex professional and communication background since 2006, plays a significant role in this.
In 2020-2022, the COVID 19 epidemic caused a shock to the economy, society, and environment worldwide. It also brought many industries and companies to their knees. In many places, this has resulted in the loss of jobs. In 2023, the Russian-Ukrainian war further deepened this situation. You need stable points, a sense of security…
Corporate responsibility and sustainability will have an increased role in managing this situation. In parallel with rethinking current business models.”

We are the first in Hungary to support the spread of the WELL certification in Hungary from our center designed according to the certification of the International WELL Building Institute.
Hybrid work environment consulting, which has intensified due to the pandemic, has become our priority task. We believe that a responsible employer is able to create a safe work environment that attracts employees back, but at the same time pays attention to the mental and physical factors of home office conditions with a risk analysis.
When awarding our CSR Hungary WELL Done special prize this year, we looked for good practices that meet these criteria among the entries. In 2022, we awarded our Award to Trivium Packaging BSC, Europe’s “Focus on building and shaping a healthy and human-centered work environment” program.” – emphasized Ottó Feuertag, founder-owner of Europa Design.

In the past 15 years, both sides have tried to do as much as possible by organizing their own sustainability programs and supporting other events. Trade magazin joined the CSR Hungary competition for the 4th time this year to once again highlight two of the winning FMCG market applications, thereby supporting them in making them even more widely known.
In 2022, we chose Auchan Magyarország Kft.’s “We are all the same” CSR program and Henkel Magyarország Kft.’s “Together for Tomorrow” employee volunteering program as exemplary community programs for other companies to follow.
