Equal Opportunities and Diversity

Hungexpo is committed to equality, diversity, and respect for human rights. Our goal is to create an inclusive workplace culture where every employee feels valued and can fully develop their potential, regardless of gender, age, nationality, religion, or other personal characteristics. We condemn all forms of discrimination and ensure that our employees and applicants have equal opportunities at every stage of employment, from recruitment to professional development. Our company stands for a workplace environment based on respect and fairness and does not tolerate any form of disrespectful behavior or harassment under any circumstances.

Social Responsibility and Donations
At Hungexpo, we consider social responsibility and charitable giving not merely an opportunity but an obligation, recognizing our role in supporting those in need and contributing to a more sustainable future.
To minimize food waste, we collaborate with our subcontractors to ensure that surplus food from our events is distributed to families in need through charitable organizations, rather than being discarded. These donations are received with great appreciation. We are currently engaged in partnerships with the following organizations:

• Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta
• Re-Forming Association
• Large Families’ Association of Újpalota
• Hungarian Food Bank Association
• Caritas Hungary 
• Hungarian Reformed Church Aid

As part of our collaboration with the Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta, we actively participate in the Sparkler Campaign each year. Our employees voluntarily fulfill the holiday wishes of disadvantaged children by purchasing gifts. For every gift package prepared by our employees, Hungexpo contributes an additional package, ensuring that even more children in need experience the joy of the holiday season.

Furthermore, it has become a cherished tradition that at Hungexpo’s Annual Christmas Partner Event, all proceeds from the charity raffle are matched by Hungexpo and donated to a selected charitable organization. In 2024, we proudly contributed 1 million HUF to the Nevetnikék Foundation, supporting the recovery and well-being of hospitalized children.
