The Business Ethics Award has been recognizing responsibly and ethically operating Hungarian companies for 26 years. This prestigious accolade is granted to only 10 companies annually, and the award is lifelong. Winners are selected by previous years’ awardees based on strict professional criteria, ensuring that the title truly reflects exemplary business conduct.

The award was founded in 2000 by Ervin László, world-renowned scientist and founder of the Budapest Club, and Mária Demcsák, founder of Piac & Profit magazine, with the aim of strengthening responsible corporate operations and commitment to social and environmental values within the Hungarian business sector.

At the 26th Award Ceremony, Mária Demcsák highlighted that an increasing number of Hungarian companies represent responsible and ethical business practices, with many now ranking among the world’s best in this regard.

Valter Kalaus, former swimmer of the 1988 Seoul Olympics and board member of the Hungarian Swimming Federation, achieved the greatest success of his career at the 2025 Masters World Championships in Singapore. In the 55–59 age category, he won four individual gold medals (100, 200, 400 and 800 meters freestyle), as well as two bronzes (50 meters freestyle and a relay). His performance was crowned with records: a world record, 2 world championship records, 2 European records and 6 national records.

Although he was not able to bring out his full potential during his professional career, more than three decades later he proved that with perseverance and passion it is possible to return to the top of the world. He has never broken away from swimming, and regular exercise still helps him today in meeting the challenges of business life.
