My approach
I am convinced of the importance of acquiring, applying and transferring knowledge. In order to acquire knowledge, I am continuously training myself, and in addition to my basic education, I have acquired knowledge in new fields (e.g. disaster management, climate protection) in recent years.
Applying the knowledge I have acquired is part of my everyday work, as company leaders often contact me with environmental issues and problems that require in-depth knowledge to solve.
The transfer of knowledge is accomplished by educating companies. By transferring my knowledge, we try to make the given company independent in such a way that they can solve some of their own environmental tasks themselves.
For more complex tasks, I provide a background and base to ensure the safe operation and legal compliance of companies.

Customer feedback
“Our plant’s environmental licensing process was stalled at several points before we reached Krisztián and the work together could begin. During the collaboration, I got to know a real problem-solving expert.”
“We reached out to Krisztián through a recommendation regarding the waste management data provision. After reviewing the data, he identified the errors and suggested solutions. We finally moved away from the deadlock and completed the data provision, as well as solving several other problems. We have been working together ever since.”
“We have been working with Krisztián since the opening of our waste management plant (16 years ago). He is our environmental representative. We don’t plan on changing because everything is always ready on time. This gives us security.”
“I work with Krisztián as an architect. If something cannot be implemented, he will definitely tell you, supporting it with legal references. If something can be done, he will explain the rules. As an architect, I completely trust his expertise.”
