Lightware has hosted a series of people-focused environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, designed to empower local communities and encourage women in technology.
The ESG framework is a set of standards used to evaluate the performance, sustainability, and ethical impact of a company, whilst measuring the company’s accountability on these issues.
Lightware’s newly expanded ESG efforts aim to encourage the next generation of women in technology, while also shaping a more sustainable future by empowering local communities.
Lightware participated in Girls’ Day events throughout April and October, a nationwide initiative in Hungary that offers girls and young women aged 12-18 the opportunity to explore careers in science and technology through interactive talks, workshops, experiments, and panel discussions.
The April event was held at Lightware’s Budapest headquarters, where its team welcomed groups of girls and young women to discover technology, meet female engineers, and gain hands-on industry experience.
The October event was held at an external venue, featuring booths from STEM companies. Attendees could speak directly with female engineers, where Lightware also hosted a dedicated workshop offering insight into the professional world.
Gergely Vida, CEO, Lightware, commented: “We see sustainability as an integral part of who we are, it is a responsibility to help the communities around us.
“By empowering young people, supporting local organizations, and engaging our employees, we’re building a culture where people, technology, and the environment grow together.”
