We joined visually impaired young people in a tandem bicycle trip
Our volunteer colleagues helped visually impaired people cycle around lake Balaton during the tandem bicycle trip organised by the Get Moving! public benefit association. It is always moving to see the joy on people’s faces, yet we rarely get so much joy in return in a community program. All our riding colleagues had an unforgettable experience.

Presenting toys is even better when they are self-made
Minor inhabitants of the Daisy Children’s Home were surprised with gifts handmade by our enthusiastic colleagues of the AS purchasing team. It took a day of DIY work for our colleagues to make dollhouses, a knight’s castle, and a toy kitchen. The time spent together was a gift for them, as much as the toys and surprises were for the children. They spent the rest of the day having fun with children with glittering eyes.
Development engineers renovated a nature trail
Sports and hikes are popular leisure time activities for many of our colleagues, so the idea that the brake control team of our engineers should support the local community by renovating a nature trail near Budapest got the green light right away among our Local care programs. We renewed handrails, repainted tables and embellished a small garden, which can now be enjoyed by the thousands of hikers visiting the trail each year.
