Donation instead of Christmas party
Budapest Airport was preparing to hold its annual Christmas party again this year, but due to the new wave of the pandemic, it was better to postpone it, for the safety of its employees. Part of the money spent on this purpose is thus being used for charity. The airport operator has offered half of the money to the organization called United Way Hungary, who will use it to help children in need and living in difficult circumstances.
The company will spend the other half of the amount originally earmarked for the end-of-year party but now available for charity to purchase tablets for the Pediatric Intensive Care, Pediatric and Infant Wards of the largest children’s hospital, Heim Pál and the largest central hospital, the South Pest Central Hospital, where the tablets will provide entertainment, education and parental contact for the children cared for there.
Budapest Airport earns Institution Supporting Men’s and Women’s Health certification
In November this year, the company joined the international Movember campaign, to raise awareness of cancer prevention. The airport reorganized the campaign, which originally focused on men’s health, according to its own rules; it promoted women’s, men’s and children’s health at the same time.
As part of the campaign, Budapest Airport offered free health screenings to its employees. At several times and in more than one location, employees could undergo breast cancer or prostate cancer screenings. 322 of the employees took advantage of the health screening, thereby acting in line with charitable goals for their own health.
With this initiative, Budapest Airport has earned the certification of Institution Supporting Men’s and Women’s Health.
