Hungarian term
közhasznú társaság
Hungarian to English
Marketing
Business/Commerce (general)
Occurs in the name of an organisation: XXX Kht. (közhasznú társaság.
I can find equivalents for this designation in Dutch (van algemeen nut), French (d'utilité publique) but not in English. I suppose 'non-profit organisation' would come close but I don't think it's quite the same thing. In any case non-profit org does not usually make up part of an organisation's formal name, as Kht. here does. Any ideas? Many thanks.

See:
Public Interest Companies are organisations that deliver public services at arms length or independently from Government. They are run in a business-like manner, but are not owned or controlled by external private shareholders. As a result, all surpluses are re-invested in the organisation.
Public Interest Companies occupy a space between services run directly by the Government and typical profit-making PPPs. They are neither nationalisation nor privatisation.
Public Interest Companies are sometimes also referred to as non-share capital organisations , not-for-profits , not-for-dividend companies, or social enterprises. [...] A significant part of the not-for-profit sector has traditionally been charitable organisations delivering health and social care.
OR
A corporation organized primarily for charitable purposes and which plans to obtain state tax exempt status under Section 23701d of the Revenue and Taxation Code and/or federal tax exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or organized to act as a civic league or a social welfare organization and which plans to obtain state tax exempt status under Section 23701f of the Revenue and Taxation Code and/or federal tax exempt status under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code is a *nonprofit PUBLIC BENEFIT corporation*.

Comment: "Mindenkinek nagyon köszönöm a segitséget (elnézést hogy elöször nem találtam meg a régebbi KudoZ kérdést!). Nyilván nem egyszerü a megoldás. Végül is itt a public non-profit corporation vagy organisation-t választom. Persze nem vagyok biztos benne, hogy egy kereskedelmi kamara az egy 'corporation' vagy 'organisation', de ha társaság mindig company/corporation, és a szervezet az organisation/association, akkor maradok az elsö változattal."

: Igen, a utility közmű, de én is láttam már így, hogy "public utility company", és nem közművállalatról volt szó.

I am new at this, just learning how it works. I failed to pay attention to the fact in the introduction that this occurs in the name of an organization and \"kozhasznu\" is not an adjective here.

: this is a public limited company = nyilvános társaság

A "nyilvanos tarsasag" is not necessarily "limited", is it? Perhaps it is in Hungary...

: You gave the correct definition of a public company, but the idea of a "közhasznú társaság" is completely different. // Even if it was an adjective, it is incorrect. "public" = "nyilvános".
