The Lužice complex following renovation

Summer is here, the holiday season is upon us, so we’ve organised a photo competition for you. This time it will be in two stages: you’ll have the chance to win both as a participating photographer and as a member of the public.

The refurbishment of the MND site and building on Úprkova Street is gradually transforming the working environment to better meet the current needs of both the company and its staff. This is not merely a technical upgrade – the project specifically combines functionality, aesthetics and the community aspect of the space. The transformation of the site is not taking place in a single phase. The refurbishment of the interior spaces has been underway since 2024 and also includes technical aspects such as the modernisation of the heating system. The modifications to the outdoor area are based on an architectural study prepared by Jung architekti at the end of 2025.

The MND Group has published its financial results for 2025. Consolidated profit after tax stood at 1.38 billion crowns, turnover amounted to 23.1 billion, and operating profit stood at 1.83 billion crowns.

Report has enjoyed great success. Our magazine took first place in the Czech Public Relations Awards and walked away with the main trophy – the large Lemur statuette. It took first place in the corporate periodicals category and can now, for the first time, boast the title of best corporate magazine in the Czech Republic. The competition is organised by the Public Relations Association (APRA).

Five years after a devastating tornado, Hodonín has become a model of comprehensive regeneration of public spaces. Thanks to the collaboration between the town, the Karel Komárek Family Foundation and other partners, dozens of projects have been carried out here, with a total value of over three-quarters of a billion crowns. Karel Komárek, a native of Hodonín, and his wife Štěpánka, whose foundation played a key role in the regeneration, also viewed the results of the transformation during a two-day visit.

Artificial intelligence is now part of almost every profession – and if we can use it properly, it can be of great help to us. We spoke to Libor Sedláček, an HR analyst at MND who has been actively using AI for several years, about his day-to-day experiences.

When we hear the term "chief energy officer," most of us imagine a person surrounded by tables and graphs, checking whether the numbers add up and consumption matches the plan. In the case of Tomáš Báborský, MND's new chief energy officer, however, the reality is much more colourful.

AI, artificial intelligence. Two words that have been resonating not only in the world of technology for some time now, but are also increasingly penetrating our everyday working lives. AI is talked about, written about, discussed – but how do we actually use it at MND? And what does it mean for each of us?

With this edition comes big news - MND Report has a brand new digital version. The original reader is coming to an end and is being replaced by a modern website resembling a news portal that offers a number of benefits.

Our cycling-photo-contest knows its winner. Martina Kadavá won the most votes with her photo of her son, who had a blast in the MND bike park. And what does she get for winning? Another MND cyclo-dress! :)

It has been impossible to escape the topic of ESG in recent years. We have written about it several times in our magazine and spoken to many of you. In May this year, we put theory into practice and published the first consolidated sustainability report for the MND Group under the new European rules. This is not just a task or an obligation. Above all, it is clearly compiled data on how our Group operates from a different perspective - ecological, human and process. In this article, you will briefly learn what we reported, what we found out about the Group as a result and what the sustainability report means in practice.
