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.

An IT guy who goes to the vineyard to clear his head
The road above Moravský Žižkov comes to an end, and from there on, the only way forward is a path winding through the rows of vines. It is here that Milan Svoboda ‘clears his head’ after work. During the day, he maintains servers and manages cloud systems and their security; in the afternoons, he picks up his secateurs and tends to the vineyard.

Košice as a springboard: MND sets its sights on further geothermal projects
The completion of the boreholes near Košice shows that deep geothermal energy can serve as a stable source of energy even in Central Europe. At the same time, however, it raises questions about where this type of project makes sense and how quickly it can be scaled up. Radovan Jedlička, Head of Business Development at MND Drilling & Services, discusses the potential, limitations and further opportunities.
The new look of the Úprkov site
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.

Poddvorov 27 – A reclamation project with a future
Perhaps no other MND site better illustrates the successful reclamation of land following the end of mining operations. The site of the former Poddvorov 27 borehole now serves as an example of how an area left behind by mining operations can be given a new purpose and actively utilised once more – in the form of a modern agrovoltaic concept.
How can you earn an extra 10,680 Kč a year from photovoltaics with MND?
Residential solar power is no longer just about saving on electricity bills. If set up correctly, you can also use it as a source of additional income. Let’s take a look at how a solar solution from MND can generate, for example, an extra 10 680 Kč a year – specifically when feeding 4 MWh of electricity into the grid and using the Flexibility service.
Heat for Košice from deep underground is within reach
Three boreholes up to 3.6 kilometres deep, positive results and a satisfied client. MND Drilling and Services has successfully completed a geothermal drilling project for Košice, which will supply heat to around a fifth of the population of Slovakia’s second-largest city. The client was Geoterm Košice, in which the Slovak state holds a majority stake.
