This road network is operated at world-class quality standards by the State Motorway Manage- ment Co. Ltd., a company within the portfolio of the Hungarian Development Bank (MFB). With a workforce of over 1,000 employees, the Company has direct and indirect impacts on the country. It sounds like a cli- ché, but it is true that a carefully maintained and always safe expressway network is like the circulation system of the econo- my. It stimulates virtually everything: a highly developed infrastructure attracts investors and it is a statistical fact that regions close to an expressway network have a higher rate of employment and a higher rate of income for their municipalities. Hun- gary’s nearly 1,400 km long expressway network not only allows suburban residents access to employment, entertainment and other possibilities but also provides opportunities for those living farther away. Fast transportation is also an indispen- sable prerequisite to the development of tourism. The operation-related business strategy of the State Motorway Management Co. Ltd. rests on four main pillars: safety, ef- fi ciency, environmental awareness and customer satisfaction. Safety: even though transportation is inherently dangerous, accident statistics on motorways are actually lower than those for secondary and other roads. Effi ciency: one of the top pri- orities of the company management is to utilise available resources for business processes without any wasting. Environ- mental awareness: the negative impacts of motorway operation on wildlife and habitats need to be limited by all available means. Customer satisfaction: this is our top priority because the company’s services focus on road users. Exercising proprietary rights, the Hungarian Development Bank appreciates not only the meticulous and high-quality work exercised by the State Motorway Management Co. Ltd. during the maintenance of its road network, but also the respon- sible thinking represented by its employees - all of which is amply demonstrated in this latest edition of the company’s Sus- tainability Report. László Baranyay Chairman and CEO MFB Zrt. 9 10 Recommendation We all travel: whether by car, boat, air, rail or on foot, for short and long distances. One thing is certain, though: we are all on the move. This is how it has been for thousands of years and how it will undoubtedly remain for quite a long time. Transportation means not only discovery, development, industry, commerce and trade, but also culture and free- dom. Ancient Romans, who designed and built the fi rst quality road networks, knew this principle thousands of years ago. It still holds true today in the 21st century that the infra- structural network of a country conveys value and quality and provides a guarantee for development. The expressway network of Hungary is impressive not only in comparison with the size of the country but also because of the key role it plays in European transit transportation. As a result, the State Motorway Management Co. Ltd., as the operator of the majority of Hungarian motorways and expressways, is not only responsible for the quality of the service but also has an im- pact on the country’s reputation abroad as well as on Hungary's economic and social life at home. This is the approach that defi nes the way we work. Although sustainability has come into fashion recently, it is already a tradition for us. Our company has long exercised econom- ic, environmental and social responsibility. Effi cient, transparent, corruption-free operation is expected not only by our owners but also by society as a whole. Protection of the environment and nature is a priority in our activities, as our motorways and ex- pressways run in close proximity to residential areas and wildlife habitats. Improving traffi c safety and driving culture has virtually become our second nature that determines our fundamental operations. These fundamental principles will be henceforward given high priority in the course of our operation, therefore, these are included in both our short and long term strategies. In order to retain the ‘sustainable company’ title also in the future, we will make additional efforts regarding the quality operation. This short list clearly indicates that our stakeholders represent virtually all segments of society. Travelling on motorways and ex- press roads is no longer a rarity, as this road network has become a part of our everyday lives and is used by the majority of people at least occasionally. On one hand, this imposes increased an responsibility on us, the operator of the road network. On the other hand, as our presence becomes increasingly ubiquitous, many believe that they know us well. I am certain that this report has something new to offer to each and every reader. With a history of over ten years, our com- pany places just as high a priority on stability as on development. For this very reason, we not only use proven methods, but also employ the latest technologies and equipment in Hungarian road operation to ensure that you will have a fi rst-class driv- ing experience. Therefore, in addition to describing our activities, this sustainability report offers a “behind the scenes” insight and provides an overview of all that is not visible from a car travelling at 130 km/h.

    Concentration camps and other comparable prison camps as recognised under the Article 2 Agreement with the Jewish Claims Conference (JCC) For the prison camps listed below, it is necessary to determine on a case-by-case basis whether imprisonment took place on German orders under conditions comparable to those in a concentration camp. The following list includes the concentration camps 1 and comparable prison camps at which a verifiable period of at least six months imprisonment can lead to obtaining assistance under the Article 2 Agreement, provided all the other eligibility requirements are met. This list does not include the ghettos, at which at least 18 months of imprisonment is required. The following list is not exhaustive or legally binding. It is continually updated as a result of current historical research and thus may be subject to changes, in particular the addition of information. The decision to make an application should be taken independently of whether the prison camp is mentioned in this list. Recognition here does not extend to other regulations or programmes. 1.

  • The Renewable Energy Production Capability of Settlements to Meet Local Electricity and Transport Energy Demands
    sustainability Article The Renewable Energy Production Capability of Settlements to Meet Local Electricity and Transport Energy Demands Balázs Kulcsár *, Tamás Mankovits and Piroska Gyöngyi Ailer Faculty of Engineering, University of Debrecen, H-4028 Debrecen, Hungary; [email protected] (T.M.); [email protected] (P.G.A.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In addition to the examination of electric power from local renewables, this study has sought the answer to the question of what proportion of vehicles are fueled by environmentally friendly energy saving technologies in the vehicle fleets of Hungarian settlements. Further, the study attempts to shed light on the self-sufficiency of Hungarian settlements with respect to the electricity and transport segments. In our assessments, the performance of small-scale household power plants (SSHPPs) utilizing local renewable energy sources, and small-scale power plants with installed capacities under 0.5 MW, was taken into account, as were the proportions of vehicles operating with partly or completely clean energy sources in the vehicle fleets of the individual settlements. Finally, the composition of the vehicle fleet has been examined in the light of the quantities of renewable electricity generated in the individual settlements, in order to consider whether these settlements are capable of covering the energy needs of their vehicle stocks from local sources. In the light of the results, the changes generated by the incentives and investments introduced over the past ten years can be established and subsequently, the energy policy needs in the future can be assessed. Our study has incorporated energy geography and settlement geography aspects.
