We are pleased to welcome Ziam Kft. to our membership. The company provides senior-level advisory and executive coaching services in the fields of strategy development, business development, project management, and sustainability.

Owner-Managing Director Balázs Báthory brings more than 35 years of senior executive experience across multiple sectors and approaches sustainability from a holistic, integrated perspective that encompasses economic, environmental, and social value creation. The company likewise strives to assess business models through a systemic lens, taking into account the full impact across the entire value chain. At a strategic level, it embeds sustainability considerations into decision-making related to growth, operational development, and innovation. Through a data- and knowledge-driven approach, it supports organizations in developing strategic responses to sustainability challenges. In addition, drawing on executive-level collaborations, it helps facilitate decisions that promote the transition toward sustainable, resilient, and adaptive operations.

The company’s environmental responsibility is reflected in resource-conscious operations characterized by low material and energy intensity, the deliberate avoidance of unnecessary consumption, and a preference for digital solutions. Furthermore, the company actively contributes to the dissemination of sustainability thinking and best practices—particularly among economic decision-makers and leaders in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors.

By joining BCSDH, the company aims to become part of a professional community committed to advancing sustainable and responsible business practices in Hungary. For the organization and its chief executive alike, it is especially important to actively contribute—through experience, knowledge, and strategic insight—to shared thinking and to strengthening corporate sustainability.

We are pleased to welcome Coca-Cola HBC Hungary Ltd. among our members.

The company is one of The Coca-Cola Company’s largest strategic bottling partners worldwide.

Employing more than 1,000 people, the company is part of Coca-Cola HBC, which operates across 29 countries. Its main activities in Hungary include the production and distribution of soft drinks and mineral waters, as well as the distribution of coffee and premium spirits.

The company has invested approximately HUF 140 billion in the country, contributing to the development of the domestic economy.

Led by Managing Director Ágnes Kovács, the company’s sustainability goals are closely aligned with its business objectives and form an integral part of its corporate strategy. The company continuously works to embed the principles of sustainability and social responsibility into all aspects of its operations. In recognition of Ágnes Kovács’s exemplary personal and professional leadership, as well as her outstanding performance in business results and people management, BCSDH awarded her the Change Leader Award in 2020.

The company’s sustainability strategy focuses on seven key areas: climate action, packaging, water stewardship, ingredients, nutrition, people and communities, and biodiversity. Among these, three areas receive particular emphasis: environmental protection, supporting a waste-free world, and promoting balanced nutrition and healthy lifestyles, alongside the Group’s “#YouthEmpowered” programme.

The company is committed reaching net zero emissions across its entire value chain by 2040, while also delivering positive biodiversity outcomes.

By joining BCSDH, Coca-Cola HBC Hungary sees an opportunity to collaborate with professional partners and operate responsibly over the long term, with a strong focus on social and environmental considerations.

In accordance with tradition, ALTEO is allocating its Christmas entertainment budget for business partners to support charitable organisations rather than on gifts.

As one of Hungary’s leading energy companies, ALTEO not only plays a leading role in energy innovation and the circular economy but is also actively committed to social responsibility. This year, support will be given to civil organisations once again that help families and communities struggling with energy poverty, either through energy efficiency upgrades or by alleviating winter heating difficulties.

But what exactly constitutes energy poverty, how many Hungarian households are affected, and how can an energy company provide real help in this area?

Beatrix Szabó, Director of Sustainability and EHS at ALTEO, discussed this in an interview with Greendex.

Civil Impact Nonprofit Kft. is once again the partner in organising the tender this year, helping to ensure that support reaches those who need it most in the most effective way.
