Role Models and Good Practices in Systemic Change

The application period for the 2025 For a Sustainable Future Award has officially begun. In support of this initiative — and to promote action and sustainable corporate operations — the Hungarian Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSDH) held its first-ever Sustainable Future Inspirational Breakfast this Tuesday. The event aimed to showcase exemplary practices.

The event, hosted by Kinstellar, provided an opportunity to gain deeper insight into the outstanding individual and corporate achievements recognized with the 2024 For a Sustainable Future award. Balázs Sepsey, Office Managing Partner, welcomed the participants.

“As we face growing challenges to sustainability — and as the impacts of climate change are increasingly felt in day-to-day business operations — swift action is more important than ever to make our systems more sustainable and resilient,” emphasized Attila Chikán Jr., President of BCSDH, in his welcome remarks. “With this award and today’s event, we aim to inspire companies and leaders to integrate sustainability into their decisions and to develop business solutions that go beyond the usual practices. By scaling these across the sector, we can create real, widespread impact and accelerate systemic change,” he added.

Irén Márta, Director of BCSDH and the event’s moderator, highlighted the organization’s ongoing commitment to accelerating sustainability efforts by showcasing some authentic, exemplary initiatives and innovative measures taken by business leaders. These aim to trigger systemic transformation and promote the spread of creative and sustainable business models. One of the event's key goals was inspiring high-quality applications for the newly launched 2025 award cycle, which remains open until July 18, 2025, by presenting previous award winners.
