8G ENERGY has been an outstanding performer in the market for renewable energy technologies, but it is expanding its portfolio further in the spirit of sustainability. Among their services, they will continue to focus more on wind power and electromobility projects from planning to permitting to implementation, as well as advising on tenders for the agricultural sector.

In Hungary, the most widespread renewable energy generation plants are undoubtedly solar PV systems. However, it is important to have a diversified energy production portfolio. Therefore, besides harnessing solar energy, it’s worth considering wind energy, which can be utilized through wind turbines. These devices convert the kinetic energy of the wind into rotary motion, which is then used by a generator to produce 3-phase electricity. Due to favorable regulatory changes last year, installing wind turbines could be a realistic alternative for corporate clients. A well-installed and maintained wind turbine can provide its owner with sustainable green electricity from renewable energy sources for up to 20-30 years. If you are considering installing a wind turbine, feel free to contact 8G ENERGY. They have extensive expertise and can handle all necessary measurements, planning, permitting, and implementation tasks for wind turbines.

To promote the development of electromobility, in some cases, the installation of electric vehicle chargers is mandatory.  Stakeholders affected by regulations include stores/ shopping malls selling daily consumer goods, as well as non-residential buildings. Information about various obligations and deadlines can be found in Section 42(10) of Government Decree 253/1997 (XII. 20.) and Annex 8 of TNM Decree 7/2006 (V. 24.). In addition to the legal obligations, the purchase of battery- or hybrid-powered cars is becoming more and more common in Hungary, and it is worthwhile to install a charging device for these cars as a private person, so that owners can charge their electric cars at any time, independently of other users.  From planning to implementation, 8G ENERGY offers turnkey installation of car chargers, whether in a private home or in a company car park.

This year, several draft Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) tenders have been released, targeting companies and entrepreneurs in the agricultural sector. The final Calls for Proposals have not yet been published, but are expected to be published at the end of May or beginning of June.  Among others, such as  the food and processing industries, ornamental horticulture and livestock farms, which can benefit from aid intensities of up to 70% for green investments: activities to reduce energy consumption, use of renewable energy technologies. 8G ENERGY provide a comprehensive range of services, from project planning and writing of grant applications to potential project management following successful funding acquisition.

8G ENERGY has a prominent position in the renewable energy market, working with qualified and experienced professionals and subcontractors.  The aim of the activities mentioned in the article is to promote sustainability, increase awareness among Hungarian businesses regarding energy management, and reduce their ecological footprint.

The aim of our initiative is to help our colleagues who are already committed to sustainability to continue to be opinion leaders and inspire their communities, and to become active participants in ALTEO’s sustainability efforts. We believe it is important to raise awareness of sustainability within the company, from workplace habits to strategic decisions, because our colleagues’ ideas and suggestions are key to driving innovation.

In the framework of the programme, we encourage our colleagues to actively participate in ALTEO CSR activities and to contribute ideas and suggestions to achieve sustainability goals.

The company provides ongoing support and resources for the implementation of new and effective ideas, including an annual budget of HUF 1 million and a communication strategy to help projects run smoothly.

Participants will have the opportunity to participate in workshops and meetings quarterly to discuss their proposals, as well as to organise activities such as environmental education and sustainable innovation forums.

Sustainability is a core value for ALTEO and the Sustainability Ambassador Programme will further strengthen its commitment to environmental protection and social responsibility.

It was brought to life by current challenges, and we, Mielemed MPM colleagues and NUXON brand employees, founded the sustainability working group with our responsible partners at the Budapest and Pest County Regional Organization of the National Association of Entrepreneurs and Employers.

The founders are a community of conscious entrepreneurs who support each other’s development and success and are dedicated to responsible and ethical business life. In this emerging and growing topic, we can become successful and effective leaders of change if we continuously develop ourselves and support each other.
By belonging to a well-known and recognized community, Community of Sustainability Enterpreneurs wishes to provide inspiration and access to up-to-date knowledge, opportunities to build relationships, and tools and methods to develop practical and entrepreneurial skills. Transferring essential information, sharing knowledge, motivating common thinking and responsible actions, raising awareness of the impact of our actions on society, the environment, and the economy along the entire value chain is in the interest of all of us. We have to show that the community has power and that we don’t leave anyone behind!
Like the global challenges and the domestic situation, we are constantly changing and we try to help as effectively as possible to create common and reliable values with the help of regularly organized excellent professional forums, round table discussions, knowledge-sharing evenings, worthwhile conferences, community actions, education, training, and education.
Our goal is to continuously strengthen ourselves, each other and the profession to which we belong, with the active initiative and participation of our members, as a self-organizing and open community, recognizing the professional and practical efforts made for sustainability. We want to create a solid foundation for the initiation of as many positive changes as possible and work together to achieve sustainable development goals. Our first joint event with COLLAB Mentoring was an SDGs Game, which playfully educated us along the UN’s sustainability goals.

Everyone has one of those drawers or a small table at home where flyers, advertising leaflets, and business cards end up after an event. They either end up in the cupboard forever or are thrown away at a later date without attracting too much attention. This, of course, is a great waste of paper.

We still have trouble getting rid of printed materials such as flyers and business cards; a QR code gets lost, and what was that person’s name at that networking event with that digital business card again?
