Hungarian ‘ESG Act’ implementing regulations have been published

News

Detailed rules on the fulfilment of the due diligence obligations of companies for sustainability purposes and the registration process for ESG reports, ESG rating agencies and ESG software have been published in Issue 81 of the Hungarian Offical Journal 2024. Issue 80 also contains regulations about the requirements for accreditation as an ESG consultant and the rules of procedure for accreditation.

 

The aim of the Regulation is:

Containing also the questionnaire annexed to the ESG report 13/2024. (VIII. 15.) SZTFH Regulation, on the basis of the ESG Act, sets out the detailed rules that allow an objective comparison of companies according to sustainability criteria and the monitoring of their responsibility.

 

The main screening criteria are

  • Establishment of a risk management system: a documented risk management system must be in place to minimise ESG risks, both within the business’s own sphere of responsibility and in the supply chain. The risk management system includes the recording of environmental and social impacts and the analysis of organisational governance impacts, in particular screening, identification, assessment, prioritisation, prevention, elimination, correction and follow-up;
  • Develop an internal responsibility strategy and system;
  • Conduct regular and ad hoc risk analyses;
  • Establish preventive and corrective actions for all identified adverse impacts within the scope of its own business and with its direct suppliers;
  • ESG reporting obligation: by preparing an ESG report and completing the questionnaire annexed to the ESG report;
  • Declaration of direct suppliers with regard to the risks they face.

The Regulation also includes minimum formal requirements for the preparation of the ESG report.

 

Temporary, facilitating provision

The ESG reports of companies under Section 1 (1) (a) of the ESG Act for the financial year 2024 and of companies under Section 1 (1) (b) of the ESG Act for the financial year 2025 only have to be pre-audited and do not have to be certified, neither the ESG reports themselves nor the pre-audit results are public and are not published.

 

Questionnaire annexed to the ESG report

The table in Annex 1 of the SZTFH Regulation contains the questions that form the basis of the ESG reporting and supply chain due diligence.

The questions cover ESG activities of companies in the areas of environment (45 questions), society (41 questions) and corporate governance (14 questions). For the screening of direct suppliers, the questions are adapted to the size of the suppliers, their geographical location and the scope of the questions to be answered.

It is important to underline that direct suppliers cannot commit to answering voluntary questions either in a contract or in a written declaration.

 

ESG calculator coming soon

For the preparation of the ESG report, the SZTFH will soon provide an ESG calculator to help you calculate the more complex numerical data of the questionnaire.

Safety, Balance, Values – What can we do in the Society of Burnout? – ESG and Social Capital Working Group meeting

News

Social issues are receiving increasing emphasis in the business world, as growing inequalities carry systemic risks.

What can companies do to reduce social inequalities? What workforce trends should they prepare for in the near future? How can we support innovation in social issues by aligning with values? What psychosocial risks are present in the workplace? These were the topics that were discussed during our joint ESG and Social Capital Working Group meeting on April 27, 2023, with the participation of around 35 people, hosted by Randstad Hungary.

The participants of the joint working group were welcomed by Gréta Nagy, leader of the ESG Working Group and CEO of Dandelion, and Attila Kelemen, leader of the Social Capital Working Group and President-CEO of ProSelf International Ltd. They emphasized that social issues are gaining increasing importance in the business world, as the success of every organization depends on its people, i.e., colleagues, partners, and consumers.

Sándor Baja, the CEO of Randstad Hungary, presented the latest trends and indicators characterizing the Hungarian labor market in his presentation. He emphasized that in the uncertain economic environment, the financial stability of employers has become significantly more important. At the same time, the importance of work-life balance has further strengthened compared to the previous year.

Ágnes Vörös, Head of HR and Administration Hungary at BASF, and Kristóf Kovács, founder and trustee of the Invisible School Foundation, presented the Invisible School program, an exemplary initiative where volunteers support the academic development, vocational orientation, and social integration of children living in temporary homes through mentorship programs, personal tutoring, and summer camps.

Lajos Csaba, Deputy Head of PR and Government Relations at Richter Gedeon Nyrt., presented how the Richter Anna Prize helps the company contribute to the development of social issues such as education, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals. They support innovative ideas aimed at improving working conditions and service quality. The winning projects can serve as best practices on a wider scale.

Gréta Nagy‘s presentation focused on the issue of workplace stress. She emphasized how creating a trusting atmosphere, ensuring safety, and establishing balance greatly contribute to the mental well-being of employees.

To conclude the event, Zsófia Galambosné Dudás, Professional Project Manager of BCSDH, presented the organization’s plan for the new CSRD training.
