The “Green Corporation of the Year” award recognises large enterprises employing at least 250 people that demonstrate leadership across multiple aspects of sustainability. These companies offer green and future-proof products or services, maintain a minimal environmental footprint in their operations, and achieve notable results in corporate social responsibility. They serve as role models for others. This is a company for which sustainability is not a task but the starting point; an organisation that acts consistently and generates real, positive impact. In this category, the focus of the evaluation is on the extent of the positive impact, so applicants are requested to present their corporate activities from the perspective of the impacts achieved.

In this category, small and medium-sized enterprises can apply by presenting their sustainability achievements from the past year. Applications are welcomed from companies employing no more than 250 people that have made a positive impact on society or the environment through their operations, business practices, products and services, or other initiatives and programmes—an impact that is proportionate to their company size. Applicants in this category are expected to showcase not just individual programmes, people, or products, but a broader and more complex set of results, highlighting progress across multiple areas where development has occurred.

In this category, we are looking for developments, investments, or even investment opportunities that have generated a positive impact for the company, its employees, partners, or users—whether in terms of social, environmental, or corporate governance aspects. In addition, applicants are requested to indicate whether the investment is expected to have generated any external or indirect positive impact on the environment, society, or the economy. Applications in the “Green Investment” category are welcome regardless of company size. Submissions should present the investment in question and clearly explain its relevance and significance from a sustainability perspective.

Winner in the category: Budapesti Szent Ferenc Kórház

Balogh Gabriella és Toldy-Schedel Emil kardiológus, a Budapesti Szent Ferenc kórház főigazgatója

This category is open to companies that have implemented a programme with primarily social added value. The initiative may be linked to an individual within the company, a department, a product, a programme, or the organisation as a whole. In the “Good Cause” category, we are seeking submissions that present tangible corporate social responsibility results—initiatives that have had a positive impact on a specific social group. Applications should describe the programme itself, the participants involved in its implementation, the affected groups, the intended positive outcomes, and any opportunities for further development of the initiative.

Winner in the category: A Heti Betevő önkéntesei

Nagy Gréta, Lánczi Éva, a Heti Betevő Egyesület társelnöke és Hatházi Fanni, önkéntes.

In this category, we recognise the candidate’s dedication, past sustainability efforts, and their social, economic, and environmental added value. We welcome applications or nominations of professionals who are passionate about environmental issues, excel in social responsibility, or whose work serves as a role model in sustainable corporate management. Accordingly, we invite applications from sustainability leaders, as well as colleagues within a company who voluntarily educate, innovate, and contribute to the environment and their teams; those driven by personal conviction, not merely by job requirements. Nominations can also come from external partners, clients, former teachers, current advisors, or anyone whom the nominator believes has demonstrated exemplary work and actions in sustainability over recent years. Please include the candidate’s position, employer, and a summary of their dedication and achievements that justify their nomination for the award.
