The Oscar of company management

-Another milestone of business excellence-

Goodwill Pharma Plc. has once again demonstrated its leadership in both market entry and corporate management by winning Deloitte’s “Best Managed Companies” award.

Deloitte Private’s global business mentoring program was created to support and recognize locally owned private companies. The award is given to companies that excel not only through their business performance but also by setting an example with strong leadership vision and excellent teamwork, along with a solid strategic plan and clear management structure. Companies with this distinction share several key characteristics that enable continuous and sustainable growth. For example, they have been able to view challenges in recent years’ difficult economic environment as opportunities.

At the end of April, Deloitte launched its 2024 BMC program, to which Goodwill Pharma also applied. The program lasted four months, during which Deloitte’s experts visited Szeged and held valuable mentoring sessions. Following this, the company prepared a comprehensive application, based on which the professional jury awarded them the „Best Managed Companies” recognition.

Dr. Ferenc Jójárt, the company’s CEO, highlighted upon receiving the award that the key to success lies in identifying the right market niches and supporting the company’s internal community as well as its partners: “As leaders, our mission is to prioritize improving quality of life and fostering innovation in our products, while creating an inspiring work environment where every colleague actively contributes to our shared success.”

We asked Dr. Ferenc Jójárt, the proud recipient of the award, what this recognition means to him.

„This is one of the greatest honors of my life, and perhaps the one I am most proud of. It was an incredibly complex process to earn it. Goodwill Pharma had to meet countless criteria that we’ve been working on for years.”

You’ve received numerous awards in the past. What makes this one more special than the others?

„We’ve never received an award as comprehensive as this one. The company’s performance, structure, vision, social responsibility, innovation, employee satisfaction, and international reputation were all evaluated.”

At the award ceremony, there were companies that had already stood on stage multiple times. What is your next goal? What will it take to be on that stage again?

„We’ve reached this level. It’s a bit like standing on the podium in a competition, and in their category, these companies are the champions of Hungarian industry. It’s also an international recognition, as this award is given in fifty other countries around the world. What we see is that only truly exceptional companies receive the BMC distinction.”

The name of the award refers to outstanding leadership. How much of a team effort was this? Who helped you achieve the goal?

„The name ‘Best Managed Companies’ suggests that it also honors management, because it’s not just one person leading the company, we’re all in it together. My wife, Dr. Mária Kardos, has been part of this from the very beginning; without her, this wouldn’t have been possible. And, of course, my colleagues, some of whom have been with the company for over ten years, who come to work every day with heart and soul, doing their jobs with dedication.”

Thank you very much for the interview. I wish you continued success in the future.

„Thank you very much.”

Dr. Mária Kardos, Goodwill Pharma’s Communications Director, emphasized that „the entire leadership can be proud of this award; it feels great to receive it. This recognition is the crown jewel of many efforts, countless stressful days, shared problem-solving, and the balanced management of the team day in and day out over the past years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our colleagues, who have worked with us with dedication and as a team. Congratulations to them as well, because alongside good leadership, a successful company also needs an excellent and loyal team. I am confident that we will achieve further successes together!”

The key to Goodwill Pharma’s corporate success lies in the close relationships it maintains with doctors, patients, and colleagues, which allows the company to fully understand market needs and offer appropriate solutions. The leadership places special emphasis on ensuring that team members feel inspired, so that everyone can contribute to the company’s innovative, patient-centered approach.

As a result of effective corporate management and responsible decision-making, Goodwill Pharma always prioritizes the needs of its consumers, offering products and services that provide genuine value. This award reinforces that the company is not only competitive in the market but also a reliable partner, constantly striving to deliver the best for its customers.
