The EXPO 2020 World Expo is being held under the theme of Opportunity, Sustainability and Mobility, where participating countries showcase their innovations, achievements and ambitions, exploring these sub-themes in different thematic weeks. Reem Al Hashimy, Executive Director of Expo 2020 and Minister of International Cooperation of the United Arab Emirates, said:
“The aim of the event is to encourage us to come together to tackle the challenges we face, as this is the only way to guarantee a better future for humanity.”
During the Urban & Rural Development Week, launched on 31 October 2021, the National Mobile Payment Plc. was also given the opportunity to present its existing national services in line with the general – national and global – sustainability and digitalisation efforts, as well as its future goals and national and regional conceptual directions at a series of presentations in the Hungarian Pavilion.
The Public Transport Mobile Ticket service, which connects cities and urban ecosystems, enables the electronic redemption of tickets and passes for local and interurban public transport, simply and cashlessly for the travelling public, using a smartphone application.
Mobile parking in Hungary, a public service, has been unified since 1 July 2014: charges levied by parking operators in pay parking zones can be settled quickly and conveniently via a mobile device and an app. The GPS built into the phone is used to locate the device (the parking zones are divided into numbered zones) and then the position of the device is displayed on the map, which can be used to start the parking process.
The common features of the services are that tickets purchased electronically do not need to be printed, validation is done by a smart device – thus significantly reducing the amount of cash needed – and paper circulation – significantly reducing the environmental impact.
In addition to national services available nationwide, regional cooperation opportunities were also discussed: The V4 Smart Platform Project 2 (V4SP2) aims to develop common interoperable e-services in the V4 member countries for the convenience of the population and public administration, such as interoperability between mobility (transport) and tourism services, a common, unified electronic and mobile payment infrastructure, a new generation of digital services in a single open model, and new market opportunities for V4 companies.

Budapest, October 25, 2021: At the request of the Net Zero Advisory Board, established in January, the Business Council for Sustainable Development in Hungary (BCSDH), together with the British Embassy, held a unique ‘Fit for 55’ CEO consultation. Company leaders and business sector representatives were able to meet and consult with Dr. Barbara Botos, Deputy Minister of State of the Ministry for Innovation and Technology (MIT). Discussions touched on the plans of the Hungarian government and the position of the business sector in relation to achieving the EU’s ambitious climate goals in Hungary. 31% of leading companies already have a net zero commitment.
At the British Ambassador’s residence, the Deputy Head of Mission of the British Embassy, Richard Shackleton – representing the host country of the COP26 climate change conference that starts on November 1 in Glasgow – hosted BCSDH member company executives, members of the Net Zero Advisory Board, and Dr. Barbara Botos, Deputy Minister of State on behalf of MIT, for a CEO consultation..
“The UN Climate Summit will start in a few days. We are all in the same boat. For climate neutrality by 2050, it is essential that everyone acts – companies, governments and individuals. We cannot delay any longer,” Richard Shackleton pointed out.
In July this year, the European Commission adopted a package of proposals for helping make EU climate, energy, land use, transport, and taxation policies capable of contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to the level of 1990. This more stringent target is necessary for achieving the EU’s 2050 net-zero-emission target. To this end, the European Commission has revised its climate and energy policies and transportation-related legislation to align with the 2030 target and the road that leads to it.
“Hungary wants to be a net climate-neutral country by 2050, and we have also committed to a 55 percent national reduction by 2030, but it is extremely important that all this is achieved with the support of society. In the recently adopted National Clean Development Strategy, the government is exploring potential ways to achieve climate neutrality, as enshrined in law”said Dr. Barbara Botos, ITM Deputy State Secretary.
“It is also important that we place the business sector at the forefront of our goals, so it is essential to know the position of companies: what are the challenges they see, and what are the opportunities they need to overcome to make the green transition economically viable” – she added.
Climate change is already happening. A drastic acceleration of ambition and action is essential for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. To do this, we need to make our economy carbon neutral by 2050. Companies play a key role in this process. But even for them, low-carbon emissions alone cannot be the goal: climate-neutral operations must be achieved as soon as possible. This requires new technological solutions at all levels and a rapid change in consumption patterns. A supportive legal and regulatory environment is also essential.
“The BCSDH aims to generate changes in models and business solutions in Hungary that have a real impact on climate change and can generate real responses to domestic challenges due to their take up by other companies. An important step has been the establishment of the Net Zero Advisory Board that has the aim of placing greater focus on economic, governmental, and social factors in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy” – said Márta Irén, Managing Director of BCSDH.“Such consultations are crucial for speeding up the process,” she added.

Our fourth ESG working group meeting on 19th October exceeded all our expectations. Our guests speakers were Sándor Baja, Managing Director of Randstad Hungary Kft. and Björn Claussen, Regional Head of Multinational Coverage – Central Europe BNP Paribas, winner of the “For a Sustainable Future” Award in Change Leader category.
Sándor led us through the current Hungarian labor market situation, summarizing the challenges and possibilities, partially driven by Covid-19. We can currently see a clear gap between the number of people retiring vs. the number of 18 years old population. As the Eastern European countries are seemed to recover faster than the Western countries, we can witness some migration back to Hungary. Additional challenges are given by the facts that governance is decreasing the number of work permit issued, meanwhile the number of high education graduates are also decreasing. Hungary is not well prepared for the future job market, where continuous automation plays a key role, making mid-level jobs disappear. Today we can say that automation is creating more jobs then eliminates. STEAM education is rising in the western countries while in Hungary we are only around 20% and female students are even more underrepresented in the area. Regarding mobility we see a rising trend on urbanization as well as connecting small villages to the big company circulation due to remote and hybrid work possibilities.
Sándor also shared a new Randstad survey, what was conducted with the involvement of 7600 people, covering the topics of Covid-19 effect, employer of choice, remote work, employee retention and employee drivers.
Some of the key highlights are the following:
The IT sector is currently the most attractive, followed by telecommunication and business services. Retail industry is gaining popularity and currently finance is the less attractive option for the candidates.
There is a clear message for companies about remote work. Only 10% would like to go back to the office 100%, 25% prefers not to return at all and 65% is opting for hybrid solution.
There were job losses due to Covid in a higher % then we see in the official statistics, but many people were able to integrate to another sector. In 2021 21% was still worried to lose their job due to Covid-19.
The topmost important drivers are attractive salary and benefits, pleasant working atmosphere, job security, financial health, and good work-life balance. Sándor was suggesting using these parameters for job postings.
The results also show that from ESG point of view, giving back to society and company reputation are on the 9th and 10th place of the list. For around 30% of the people is important the ESG factor when looking into employers’ offering. We can see a bit higher number in case of women and high education graduates. Sándor was suggesting keeping this information available, but not to build the job advertising strategy around it.
Björn, representing the finance industry, started with a reflection on the Randstad report, how the sector lost its charm and now aims to offer more attractive opportunities for candidates. The role of a finance expert is becoming more and more advisory, who supports their clients to gain knowledge on global emerging trends, risks, and opportunities for a sustainable future. BNP Paribas has been carbon neutral on its operational scope since 2017 and was recognized multiple times for their work around ESG and sustainability worldwide.
The bank is redesigning its strategy to be even more action oriented by realigning their activities with the SDGs and how they can land money in another way. 15% of their investments is contributing strictly to the achievement of the UN SDGs. During the last 5 years they tripled their investment on renewable energy sector and reached their goal with two years in advance. They also started to invest in startups for energy, energy transformation, and efficiency areas, where after the 1st 100 million EUR spent, they partnered with another organization to further invest in the energy transition.
Bjorn also shared with us, what are the roadblock in their journey and how they are trying to overcome them. To reach their 2 Celsius commitment, BNP Paribas is gradually exiting some of the key industries as tobacco and coal. To make clients realize that the change is happening, they roll-out their exit strategies at the same time on a global scale, talking to clients one by one. Challenges are differently present in countries, where the governance is not committed on the same way towards the massive emission reduction. Beside the advisory approach, Bjorn continuously highlighted the importance of education and raising awareness around ESG, what is also part of their client management strategy.
BNP Paribas also conducted a survey on ESG recently. Some of the core findings are the following:
ESG know-how: 3 groups identified, leaders, explorers, observers
More investors are integrating ESG in their portfolio, data remains the primary barrier for integration and the social pillar is the hardest to measure
Investors engage with clients about ESG as part of their strategy
Shift from marketing to brand reputation as primary driver for ESGs

On October 11, 2021, Legrand Zrt organized an eco-games day for schoolchildren. The emphasis was on protecting the environment with exciting tasks and competition. The Szentes Sports Hall was the venue for the event. In the morning, elementary school students were present. There were memory games, a swinging plastic bottle, a selective maze, etc. and a quiz with very serious questions. Based on the results obtained, the company awarded a prize to the schools. It was a particular pleasure for us that the special school (children with learning difficulties) also accepted our invitation.
Of course, they didn’t compete, but they did every game the best they could, and Legrand Hungary awarded the school a special prize. In the afternoon, the high school students clashed. We were expecting the children with real team games. The schoolchildren had to set up a functional structure similar to a go-kart. Then, at the end of the day, the race followed, where the schools rivaled the cars built. The other half of the teams built a cardboard wall and a bomber. The bomb was a bullet with which to knock down the boxes. The day took place in a fantastic atmosphere. Here too, each school was rewarded according to its results.
