Local communities

The Masterplast Group’s corporate social responsibility programme is implemented according to carefully defined principles in order to ensure that the support does arrive at the right place at the right time in a transparent manner. The Group adheres to strict ethical standards when donating and expects the same from all its employees. Its donation decisions are taken on the basis of professional, strategic and ethical principles, and it strives to shape its charity strategy in a way that benefits both society as a whole and the Group by creating value.

The organisation’s activities and infrastructure have a significant economic, social and environmental impact on local communities. The company is in constant dialogue with local communities, supporting them in its activities and placing them at the focus of its CSR activities. It also makes a significant contribution to the prosperity of local communities through business tax and, as a large employer, employs a total of 1,379 people at group level. Its constant expansion and investment are creating new jobs. As the company has low CO2 emissions and a moderate noise effect, it has no direct negative environmental impact on local communities.

The company’s CSR value creation is focused on five areas: child welfare, child health, local value creation, funding for sports, environmental protection and professional tenders.

The company’s donation policy focuses on programmes that support the well-being of children helping them to lead full lives. In addition, Masterplast is committed to raising children’s awareness and supports programmes organised and designed for schools, such as tree planting programmes that encourage participants to learn about sustainable development and environmental protection. The Group is also ready to support initiatives to educate local communities about healthy sports and promote healthy lifestyles.

The Society is an active member of the KÉPES programme support team established in 2013 by companies and the Municipality of Székesfehérvár. KÉPES, namely the Community Value Creation Programme - „Together for Székesfehérvár!”, aims to bring together the corporate sector and the municipality to implement tasks to be solved that create permanent value for the local community. Masterplast provides financial, professional and product support for the programme’s projects, and the company’s team of employees take part in the tasks as volunteers.

Masterplast has been supporting the Hungarian Child Rescue Foundation with donations and extensive promotions since 2015. The company provides support for the purchasing of specialised medical diagnostic and educational equipment. As part of the end-of-year „Let’s be child rescuers together” campaign, the company’s partners also contribute to the donation fund with their purchases. In 2021, the company has supported the Hungarian Child Rescue Foundation with a donation of HUF 5 million.The donated sum helped to purchase a special ventilator for children. Over the years, the Group has supported the Foundation with more than HUF 20 million. In addition, in the past years, its support for the Foundation amounted to HUF 100 million from the 1% tax donations achieved through promotional campaigns. A further valuable part of the cooperation is the Masterplast - MGYA first aid course series, which provides assistance to teachers in educational institutions in Fejér County. At the end of 2017, the company launched the „Masterplast First Aid Course” in cooperation with the Hungarian Child Rescue Foundation, where teachers are presented what to do in case of an emergency. So far, more than 500 teachers have completed the training. The year 2020 was an exceptional year due to the coronavirus, which meant that these trainings had to be suspended, but Masterplast now aims to continue its health education programme in partnership with the Foundation, in case of favourable conditions.
