Budapest, June 12, 2017 16:00
Magyar Telekom awarded companies and organizations excelling in the field of sustainability also this year. DELFIN Awards (acronym in Hungarian for Awards for a Committed, Sustainable and Innovative Generation) and the TOP3 sustainable subcontractor of Magyar Telekom 2016 acknowledgements were handed out on June 12 at the 18th Sustainability Round Table event.
Magyar Telekom founded the DELFIN Award competition in 2008 to award its subcontractors excelling in the field of sustainability. Since 2013 any Hungarian enterprise or even NGO can apply for the award by submitting already implemented and operating projects and programs. In 2017 altogether 6 award were handed over in 4 categories.
We are pleased to see that each year the number of organizations applying for the DELFIN Award increases, enterprises and NGOs submit increasingly more mature and thoroughly thought over projects, therefore we had to select this year's winners from a very strong pool. We realize that considering a sustainable and livable future - if the intent is there - can be integrated in the everyday activity of both large companies and enterprises with a few employees only. We are overjoyed that responsible operation is also important to our partners and subcontractors - said Friedl Zsuzsanna, chief human resources officer of Magyar Telekom.
