This year Tungsram Group received the CSR Hungary – Hungarian Corporate Responsibility Award in two categories.
As a result of the 3-level assessment process in the “Joint tasks-joint responsibility” category Tungsram was found excellent for our Future Talents training program while in the “Soul of CSR-Internal solutions” category we were awarded for our Volunteer programs and Fittungsram employee health-program. The President & CEO of Tungsram thanked the participants of the programs and the CSR leadership:
“Congratulations to Zsuzsanna Thierry for so professionally coordinating our CSR activities with such dedication and enthusiasm - and special thanks to our many volunteers that contribute regularly to our communities. We are proud to work together, committed to making a small difference every day.”

László Palkovics while Deputy Secretary of State for sustainable development Ferenc Hizó, who also participated on the event, said: “It is a great success if an enterprise recognizes that enforcing economic interests and making efforts towards sustainable development and growth are not excluding, but rather complementing each other.”
