Interesting figures from the Sustainability Report
Preparations for the 2025 sustainability report are in full swing. Dozens of colleagues across the MND Group are already collecting data, verifying information and participating in audit meetings so that we can publish a report at the end of April next year, which will serve as an important reference for banks, investors and partners in tender procedures.
Almost 100 colleagues across the group are currently involved in preparing the report:
-
Most of them (50) are focusing on environmental topics, such as the amount of energy consumed and produced, the amount of waste generated, and water management. Together, this amounts to 220 pieces of information reported in this area alone.
-
Information about employees is processed by 20 colleagues, who provide us with data on employees broken down by gender, age category, or type of employment, for example. This amounts to a total of 160 items of information.
-
A total of 35 colleagues are involved in collecting general information and data on company management. They provide data on, for example, ownership structure or internal policies. In this area, we regularly monitor and report a total of 110 items of information.
The scope of the data collected varies between companies depending on the type of activity – not every company in the group reports all 490 items of information. We greatly appreciate the helpfulness and cooperation with which all colleagues across the various parts of MND are involved in the process.

MND drills geothermal wells for Košice
After years of preparation, the geothermal project has finally begun. The idea of heating Košice with geothermal energy had been in the works for many years. The first surveys in the Svinica–Ďurkov area were conducted in the 1990s and confirmed the extraordinary potential of hot water several kilometres below the ground. However, at that time, there was a lack of funding and political consensus to implement the project.
How geothermal energy works
Renewable energy sources have become a key topic in recent years. Everyone is familiar with solar and wind power plants, but there is another source that stands out for its stability, reliability and minimal dependence on weather conditions. However, it is not talked about as much
. Geothermal energy – heat accumulated in the Earth's crust – is one of the most promising types of clean energy, especially at a time when the need for stable, low-emission sources is growing.
"Batteries are now an opportunity. Whoever builds them fast will seize it."
The MND Group is completing preparations for its first large battery storage facility, BESS Břeclav, with a capacity of 12 MW. When it goes into operation, it will be the largest stand-alone battery project in the Czech Republic and one of the most important milestones in MND's new energy strategy. We spoke with Roman Kroutil, project manager from the New Business Development team, about how the storage facility will work, why now is the ideal time to invest in batteries, and how he got into this field himself.
MND in Ukraine supported dozens of foster families
"Yay, notebooks!" exclaims the ten-year-old girl enthusiastically, happily taking her school supplies out of her new backpack. Ordinary school supplies – something that most children in the Czech Republic take for granted – are a rarity for her.
From managing energy consumption at MND to cultivating carnivorous plants – meet Tomáš Báborský
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.
Oil production at the Lanžhot field ends after 70 years
The site is awaiting reclamation and restoration to nature. After almost seven decades, mining at the Lanžhot deposit, the southernmost oil deposit in the Czech Republic, is coming to an end. In a remote forest area at the confluence of the Dyje and Kyjovka rivers, in a location that is located in a protected zone and whose administration is becoming increasingly demanding from a legislative point of view, only a few wells remain today. These will be gradually closed in the coming years and the entire area will be prepared for reclamation.
Continuing Gas To Power projects
We are currently working intensively on two new energy projects: we are building both the Hrušky 5 ancillary services facility and the SNaPS Ždánice combined heat and power plant.
MND opens new offices in Lviv
More space, more light and room for growth. On 18 November this year, MND Ukraine officially opened its new modern offices in Lviv.

The new headquarters in the very centre of the city also allows for further planned growth of the team.
We work even when missiles fly over us, says MND Ukraine's technical chief
The MND Group has been operating in Ukraine for over ten years and, despite the war, it has managed not only to maintain operations but also to gradually develop gas production. However, everyday work takes place in conditions that most of us in Czechia or Germany can hardly imagine. We talked to Volodya Stebletsky, Technical Director of MND Ukraine, about how MND Ukraine works today, what is most difficult and what gives them the strength to continue.
Gas storage tanks and their importance
Underground gas storage facilities (UGS) are a strategic pillar of the modern energy system. In times of growing energy consumption, fluctuating price levels and geopolitical uncertainties, UGS facilities are becoming an indispensable tool for ensuring the reliability, flexibility and competitiveness of the gas sector.
Ark I moved from Kiev to Odessa
After several months in Kyiv, the Archa I mobile station has moved to Odessa. Its task now is to continue its mission of protecting and preserving written cultural heritage. Odessa has long been exposed to the threat of shelling, so the work of this unit has a real positive impact on the protection of Ukraine's historical monuments.
