The ranking of the world’s telecommunication companies was disclosed in the report according to which Magyar Telekom trails the parent companyDeutsche Telekom

Chief Executive Officer Christopher Mattheisen said, „Magyar Telekom’s ranking fills me with a fantastic feeling, as no Hungarian company has yet achieved a success of this volume in the area of sustainability. We have overtaken the world’s largest global telecommunication companies, which is a global success for Telekom and also for the country. This is a recognition of our conscious work for long years with the aim to enable Telekom to contribute to the extent its size justifies to the development of the society, economy and the environment.”.

Sustainability management aligned with the challenges of the future is of a key importance in the operation of business companies.

The research also probed into the extent of the service companies’ customer focus, from responsible marketing activity through the process of complaint management to data protection. Telecom service providers have a high level access to confident customer data for which reason the responsible, efficient and secure data management is an indispensable requirement. This latter aspect has an extraordinary significance in the light of recent phising incidents. Another review element of a similar weight has been the endeavours and achievements of companies aimed at closing the digital divide through the identification of both regional and social differences, the protection of children and youth from harmful contents, the expansion of broadband internet access and the dynamics of developments.

Magyar Telekom has been addressing sustainability issues resulting from its operation for nearly 20 years, and in 2000 it was among the first Hungarian businesses having established a separate environment protection unit, subsequently coordinating the company’s responsible operation processes. Telekom’s sustainability activities are distinguished by their comprehensive, projected and long-term approach, and the company is currently implementing already its third five-year sustainability strategy.
