CSR Award for Amcham BSS Hungary

BSS Hungary cooperation, which has been awarded the ‘HOA-CSR Award’ for its social responsibility activities during the Christmas period, received the distinction at the online event held for the 15th anniversary of the Hungarian Service and Outsourcing Association (HOA) earlier this month.

The BSS Hungary project was launched in February 2019 by 20 business services centers in Hungary and in partnership with HOA, under the auspices of AmCham Hungary. The aim of increasing the awareness and recognition of the Business Services Sector (BSS). Project member companies work together towards this common goal in a unique and inspiring cooperation to attract talent by highlighting the cosmopolitan, international, employee-centric work environment the BSS can offer. Beside the sector branding, the project engages in educational and social responsibility collaborations as well.

Based on last year's action plan, the participating companies joined the Baptist Charity Service's Shoe Box campaign, in which staff working in BSS, supported more than 1,700 children in need by purchasing an online shoe box worth HUF 3,000, as well as donated logic games.

Additionally, the project also supported AmCham Foundation’s charity drive to help the digital education of children in foster homes by equipping them with laptops and tablets.

“We are proud of the HOA-CSR Award and even more proud of our colleagues behind the result. Sensitivity and openness are an integral part of our people-centered corporate culture in our sector. That's why we joined the online Shoe Box Action, so that we can pay attention to those around us despite the difficult circumstances,” AmCham President Zoltán Szabó said on behalf of the BSS Hungary cooperation.
