Dear

2017 is a special year in our organisation’s history as we are celebrating the 10th anniversary of BCSDH’s official registration.

Throughout the celebration, our professional work will be brought to the fore. In 2017, the Action 2020 Hungary program is focusing on Employment. For this purpose we have invited Annemarie Muntz – President of the World Employment Confederation, and an outstanding expert on this topic – to Hungary, where she will be the guest speaker at the Business Breakfast on 26th April.

On the same day, an Action 2020 Expert Forum will be organised at which opinion shapers, change leaders and experts on this topic are invited to come together to explore business solutions that will have measurable impacts on sustainability, with a special focus on employment.

Active professional work will continue throughout 2017 as well. We are looking forward meeting you at the Business Breakfast and the Employment Expert Forum on 26th April.
