Social responsibility

We believe that a company’s value is determined not only by its business results but also by how it contributes to the development and well-being of local communities.

Pécs holds a special place in our hearts

As a company based in Pécs, we take responsibility for our city and for every initiative that builds and strengthens the local community.

Who do we help?

Organisations that contribute to the community: education, sports, cultural initiatives, youth programmes, and projects that strengthen social responsibility.

How do we help them?

  • Financial support – For foundations, associations, and organisations to help them achieve their goals.
  • Professional assistance – Accounting, legal and business administration and consultancy, including board membership.
  • Event sponsorship – We support sports events, community activities, and cultural programmes.

Why is this important to us?

Pécs is more than just where we operate – it’s where we call home. For us, backing local communities means investing in the future.

Élmény Tár – Our mission in Pécs

What is Élmény Tár?  Officially, it is a workshop. In reality, it is a small empire of opportunity, where disadvantaged children can learn, develop, and find a safe community.

But for us it means even more!

It is close to our hearts to help open up the world for children, because unfortunately, not every child has access to the opportunities that should be fundamental in an ideal world.

That is why Pannova Group provides dedicated support to the workshop, so that through mentoring programmes, development activities and leisure experiences, children can be given a chance for the future.

We take this personally!

The mission of Élmény Tár is closely aligned with our company’s values, because we believe that true progress begins not with technology, but with people.

Where children are given the opportunity to learn and gain confidence, strong communities are built – and in the long run, so are strong cities and economies.

What is it like to work with us?

In our collaborations, we build on the following pillars:

1. We view you as a partner, based on trust

We believe that without trust, there can be no lasting collaboration. The foundation of our success is the trust and close professional cooperation we build with our partners and colleagues.

2. We keep our promises, and we do so promptly

We are open to embracing new knowledge and methods. This allows us to respond quickly and flexibly to impulses from different directions, ensuring a competitive advantage for our partners.

3. A horizontal organisational structure and an ownership mindset

Our team members carry out their tasks with great autonomy and broad authority, guided by an ownership mindset. This approach ensures that every project is executed with the highest level of quality and attention to detail.

4. We are open-minded

Our corporate culture is characterised by integrity, open-mindedness, and flexibility. We believe that impulses from diverse directions hold real potential and should be embraced.

5. Extensive industry experience and synergy

Through our experience across various sectors and by leveraging synergies, we create an effective and powerful unit that delivers added value for our partners.
