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.

"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.
"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.
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.

Gas storage tanks and their importance
Underground gas storage facilities (UGS) are a strategic pillar of the modern energy system.

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.

How are the energy markets before winter?
Gas supplies in European countries are very comfortable in the first half of winter. Gas imports from Norway and liquefied gas from overseas are running smoothly. Storage facilities were sufficiently filled before winter, and weather forecasts currently indicate a warmer winter.
