Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

For MOL Group, Sustainable Development means a corporate commitment to the balanced integration of economic, environmental and social factors into our everyday business operations to maximise long-term stakeholder value and to safeguard our "licence to operate".

Our goal is to become a company with an exemplary record in every field of our operations, to promote a systemic approach within the company which transcends local issues to result in thought and action on an international scale serving efficient and sustainable corporate operations. In order to achieve this objective, we aim to integrate the three pillars of Sustainable Development – social, environmental and economic – in equal measure, into our corporate strategy and all operational activities.

Strategic initiatives and action plan

In its business strategy, MOL Group announced its commitment to sustainable development. To support this ambitious commitment, in 2007, seven Group-level strategic SD initiatives were identified, to be implemented by 2010, based on key areas identified during the first Company sustainability screening exercise. These initiatives, with precisely measurable targets, covering 25 topics such as climate change, product stewardship and the need to attract talented recruits, embrace all of the Company’s activities and are indeed considered to be “key success factors” in the achievement of our strategic corporate business objectives. “Strategy” implies action; therefore MOL Group Business and Functional Units have developed almost 100 projects that will bring the Company closer to its long-term goal: sustainable operations.
