MOL: 97% decline in some fields
EnglishProtection against the virus cost more than 10 million dollars for the group; and the testing of employees was a significant item, Oszkár Világi, Managing Director of MOL Group's Innovative Businesses and Services told növekedés.hu.
At the height of the pandemic, roads were practically empty because of the restrictions, which meant that petrol consumption sharply decreased in the country.
Fuel sales in MOL decreased by 30-40% compared to the same period last year.
While people hardly used their cars, the vast majority of flights were also cancelled, resulting in a 97% drop in consumption in this field in March and April. On the other hand, there were sectors that continued to operate: agriculture or the public transport sector for example
Oszkár Világi, Managing Director of MOL Group's Innovative Businesses and Services told növekedés.hu.
He added that now it is visible that with the easing of the restrictions the number of people who use their cars is growing, so the company is starting to recover previous sales levels, while they have even succeeded in growing in some non-fuel products.
Mr Világi revealed that protection against the virus cost more than 10 million dollars for the group, and the testing of employees was a significant item.
In any case, the construction of the polyol complex, the company’s biggest investment project continues.
There are projects that had to be rescheduled, but they still want to get their 2030 strategy through, even though there may be a slight delay. Regarding their experience with home office, he said that working from home requires a completely different management style than working in the office.
They are going to try and use this option more emphatically in the future, but in certain jobs they need to examine how both the employee and the company can benefit from home office work.
