Face-to-face with Miklós Szabó, the founder-owner of Tranzit Group in Debrecen
Social responsibility is gratifyingly present not only in foreign multinational companies that have settled in Hungary, but also in many large domestic companies. First of all, please define what exactly this term covers in your understanding?
Miklós Szabó: We started to enjoy the term “social responsibility” primarily after the regime change, with the rise of private property, since previously for a long time the “caring state” performed this task. Thank God, I feel that more and more people in the private sector know the content of this as their own. What is the content of this? In my opinion, if you have the opportunity, help others! This obviously requires where someone came from and what kind of environment they socialized in, as I also experienced in the old system that if someone needed help, we helped each other. In fact, we still do that today, only in a big way. We believe that wealth is not immune from social problems. We are part of it, we have something to do with it. During the 33 years of the Tranzit Group’s existence, we always took advantage of the opportunity to give as much as we could where it was needed. At first, this charity work was not organized, but later we had to realize that adhoc help was not efficient enough. Many people ask for a variety of things, so it was appropriate to mark a specific area that we would like to support. This is how we primarily chose children’s institutions. Especially for healthcare and institutions dealing with disabled children. We help through foundations that guarantee that the donation goes to the best place. Like them, we believe that the question is not why this is good for me, but that it will be better for all of us if we do what we can do. We think long-term, because we believe that this is the only way the help we provide can be truly effective.
