Magyar Telekom and its member company T-Systems Magyarorsz g organized a voluntary day on October 15, 2016. More than 1,000 associates of the Group and their family members participated in the nationwide action, resulting in the renewal and beautification of 29 locations, including the environment and close vicinity of numerous Telekom sites and public areas, as well as kindergartens, schools, social institutions and in-patient care centers of people living with deficiencies. Associates of the Group mainly planted trees and shrubs in the frame of the event, but they also groomed the environment and carried out maintenance works. By the end of the day the number of trees and shrubs increased by more than 1000 in the country and the virtual forest named hello holnap! pagony, where using the identically named Facebook application anybody can upload the tree or trees planted anywhere in Hungary by him/her. Today's event is the largest scale voluntary action in the history of Telekom, both in terms of the number of participating associates and geographical coverage. The Group also intends to symbolize with this event the significant milestone achieved, that the operation of the Telekom Group became carbon neutral in 2015.
Telekom - for more than 10 years now - has been paying key attention to sustainability, and within that to selecting and executing its social support and voluntary programs. We are convinced that common work done for others releases positive energies and is a true community experience, that benefits both donor and recipient. This is why we promote voluntary work within the company and appreciate our associates' intention to do good - said Chistopher Mattheisen, chief executive officer of the Group. In the past alone we executed 10 voluntary programs, on which occasions our associates contributed to the society up to about 22 million HUF worth voluntary work. In our 2016-2020 sustainability strategy our objective is to further increase this type of our contribution to the society: we intend to contribute 50 thousand voluntary working hours, while also maintain our carbon neutral operation. Today's voluntary day is part of this objective - the chief executive director added.
Within our human strategy we set one of the objectives: to live and work smart , that is to do our utmost to provide for the well-being of the individual and environment. Our volunteer work today is in harmony with this objective - said Somorjai va, chief HR officer of Telekom. This is why each year we ask our associates about what type of volunteer work they wish to do, as our basic target is that each colleague pursues the activity that is considered to be best and most useful for both the individual and society. Year after year, our colleagues put planting trees on top of the list, therefore today's event became the largest scale action in the history of Telekom, both in terms of the number of participating associates and geographical coverage.
In Budapest and its vicinity more than 600 Telekom and T-Systems volunteers worked on beatifying nine locations - 7 in Budapest and 2 in the agglomeration - including school courtyards and public areas. Among others, they built a new campfire place in P skomliget (district 15) belonging to the Pilisi Parkerd Zrt., collected waste and maintained walking paths, and groomed the area near a playground at Kamaraerd .
