Budapest, June 15, 2018 12:00

Winners of this year's Magyar Telekom DELFIN Award proved again that cooperation and creativity are crucial when it comes to environment protection. The awards are traditionally being distributed annually at the Telekom Sustainability Round Table discussion. This year's DELFIN Award was given to Budapest Airport Plc., Kezes-l bas indoor play center and the J v ko-Nemzed ke Foundation (transl. to Future eco-generation foundation').

The company also awarded its TOP 3 Sustainable Suppliers in 2017: Cisco International Limited, Huawei Technologies Hungary Kft. and Capgemini Magyarorsz g Kft.

Within the frame of the 19th Sustainability Round Table Discussion on June 14, Magyar Telekom invited its stakeholders to an open dialogue. At the event the company presented its 2017 sustainability achievements, handed out the DELFIN Awards and for the second time awarded the company's TOP3 sustainable suppliers.

This year's DELFIN winners were smart and digital solutions as well as new modes of community building. DELFIN Award was established ten years ago to boost and acknowledge sustainability innovations. In climate protection category Budapest Airport Plc. won the award with its greenairport initiative that radically reduced the airport's environmental load. In the sustainable awareness-raising category the jury handed out two awards. One went to the Kezes-l bas indoor play center, who offer a variety of playtools powered by human-powered electricity. The other award was given to the J v ko-Nemzed ke Foundation who have developed a popular and user friendly illegal dumping tracking application directly sending notifications to local authorities.

Budapest Airport Plc. was acknowledged for its coordinated efforts to link both its daily routine and future developments with environment and climate protection objectives in close collaboration with other stakeholders of the airport area. Its sustainability efforts were awarded already this year in April at an international level: the airport was the first of its kind in Central Europe to receive the carbon neutral title by the Airport Council International (ACI).

The Kezes-l bas indoor play center, with its creative, self-developed toys does not only educate children, but the entire family to lead a more conscious and environment-friendly lifestyle. Their human powered toys do not consume electricity. Their toys are made from environment friendly, disposable materials and their users may enjoy active movement and common play at the same time.

The hulladekvadasz.hu website and application designed by J v ko-Nemzed ke Foundation fights illegal waste deployment with community detection and reporting methods. They do not only help the efforts of municipalities to keep their settlements clean but also attract attention to prevention and to lead a waste-free lifestyle.

At the award giving ceremony Zsuzsanna Friedl, Magyar Telekoms Chief Human Resources Officer, highlighted that the awards were given to teams that offer something new in the field of climate protection and the shaping of consciousness. We were pleased to see these great examples and innovative solutions showing us how community development and digitally enabling solutions are key factors when it comes to the development of a sustainable lifestyle .

The members of the evaluating jury of the DELFIN Award were P ter Bod , founder of route4u; Ang la Holczer, marketing director of Ringier Axel Springer and representative of the Sustainability Media Club, B la Szab , Magyar Telekoms brand and residential communication director and Katalin Szomol nyi, head of Magyar Telekom's corporate sustainability center.

The awardees were given the awards at Telekom's 19th Sustainability Round Table Discussion. They won the opportunity to exhibit their ideas at the 11th Sustainability Day, on September 29th. The J v ko-Nemzed ke Foundation and the Kezes-l bas indoor play center received a Business trend L fee package for two years from T-Systems Hungary while Budapest Airport Plc. was invited to the Y2018 T-Systems Symposium as an exhibitor. A 2-3 minutes short film is going to be created about all three winners to further contribute to their public recognition.
