This year, we’re not sending corporate-mug-wine-and-beer-and-egg gift packs, and we’re not even continuing to swell the sea of plastic waste, instead, we’re planting trees and helping a struggling hospital with just over 1 million HUF.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n

Because this year was very different from the previous ones.<\/p>\n\n

Let\u2019s start with some very good news: global greenhouse gas emissions have fallen, and the rate of global warming has slowed. Don\u2019t forget the bad news: COVID has slowed economies, paralyzed industries, and endangered or ruined people\u2019s health, lives, and jobs. <\/p>\n\n

We are part of a global and a local crisis at the same time, and while it would be easier to focus only on our customers and our profit, as a responsible organization, we are obliged to do more than that.<\/p>\n\n

Anyone who saw David Attenborough\u2019s \u2013 A Life on Our Planet<\/a> knows that two-thirds of forests have disappeared from the face of Earth since the beginning of industrial civilization and biodiversity is declining rapidly, plunging our planet into a global catastrophe.<\/p>\n\n

We are filled with hope that our hard work spreading a new framework (BIM<\/a>) will reshape the way the construction industry works and is about sustainability in every way.<\/p>\n\n

It is a new digital ecosystem that through technology and smart devices, implements efficient design, radically reduces unnecessary work processes and construction waste, and allows a more economical building operation.<\/p>\n\n

This means a 20-40% cost reduction in the lifecycle of a building which also means, less energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, and reduced environmental impact overall.<\/p>\n\n

This is our future, but we also want to make an impact on our present, so<\/p>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n
<\/span>\"\"
\n

we have decided to plant 1 sapling for every 100 m2 of BIM-designed building on behalf of our clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/div>\n\n

So half of the amount we spent on Christmas presents was used to plant 1,000 seedlings<\/strong> with the help of MyForest<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

However, sustainable development<\/a> is not about only ecological balance, but also about increasing the quality of life.<\/p>\n\n

As almost one-third of the BuildEXT team originates in Borsod-Aba\u00faj-Zempl\u00e9n and Hajd\u00fa-Bihar counties, it was an obvious decision to give the other half of the amount to support the Foundation for Patients in Zempl\u00e9n<\/a><\/strong>run by Dr. Ern\u0151 R\u00e1cz, president of the foundation and head of maternity at Erzs\u00e9bet Hospital, S\u00e1toralja\u00fajhely.<\/p>\n\n

We felt we found the best place for the money for Christmas gifts this year, and even if many of us were away, we could still contribute to helping a region catch up. Let’s hope we can make the world a better place. <\/p>\n\n

We are human beings, engineers, patients, local patriots, and parents, all committed to transforming an industry and to sustainable development beyond our daily tasks.<\/p>\n\n

We are BuildEXT. We look after each other. <\/p>\n\n
