Our new member company: Fővárosi Csatornázási Művek Zrt.

As the largest Hungarian environmental service company, the Budapest Sewage Works Ltd. performs basic wastewater disposal and treatment tasks. In addition, the company’s mission is to be at the forefront in the introduction of environmentally friendly technologies and developments. Today, the company, led by CEO György Palkó, is involved in water and air pollution control, waste management and even bioenergy production, in addition to its core activities.

In its activities, the company strives to manage natural resources in a continuous and careful and responsible way, with a particular focus on combating climate change, reducing pollution, maintaining biodiversity and improving the well-being of the population. Their environmental management system is based on the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), the European Union’s environmental management and audit scheme.

In 2005, the company’s South Pest Wastewater Treatment Plant was the first in Hungary to start operation of a waste utilisation technology unit for receiving and processing various types of waste with high organic content, which enables the co-fermentation of such waste, i.e. the recovery of wastewater together with sludge. The green energy produced by this technology, thanks to a significant environmental investment by European standards, will make a significant contribution to the energy-efficient operation of the treatment plants.

The company is committed to protecting its employees as its core values and expects its business partners to follow this commitment and respect the rights of their own employees. Since 2020, they have been operating a Code of Ethics, in which they have set out their values and ethical standards for their employees and external partners, and which also provide the main guidelines for the company’s corporate governance.

The company shares the values that BCSDH stands for. They believe that membership can provide additional value to the company in the changing web of economic and environmental expectations, as well as meeting and value-creating opportunities for collaboration with responsible business leaders who are also committed to sustainability.
