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.

Artificial intelligence is already helping in MND
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the most discussed technological phenomena. For a long time now, it has not only been discussed in the context of science fiction films or scientific research institutes. Thanks to increasingly powerful computing and the availability of data, AI technologies have seen a huge boom in recent months. AI is now making real inroads into all aspects of our lives, from work to healthcare, science, education and entertainment.
50 years with MND. Mirek Konečný retires at the end of the year
Miroslav Konečný will retire at the end of the year. He started at MND in 1975 as an apprentice and will finish in 2025, bringing to an end an incredible 50 years at MND.
MND supports the renovation of the University of Ivano-Frankivsk and offers scholarships to students
One million hryvnias and a scholarship programme for students will be provided by MND's Ukrainian subsidiary Horyzonty to the Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas (IFNTUOG). The school was the target of a Russian missile attack in June this year and the campus was badly damaged.
Meeting with MND Energy Storage and MND Gas Storage customers
While the MND Party took place in Lužice on 13 June, the traditional customer meeting organised by MND Energy Storage and MND Gas Storage took place in Rakvice in the majestic Dominant Wine House. The event was attended by approximately 25 customers who came to find out what new products we are planning, as well as to enjoy delicious food and great wine.
Investment opportunity: balancing the energy grid
MNDs are looking at different market segments where it would be worthwhile to invest or at least be commercially active. One of the areas that caught our attention is the market for ancillary services and the volatility of electricity prices on the so-called spot market, where the price of electricity for the following day is determined. In cooperation with the Energy & Production Division, we are working on using our own gas for electricity generation (G2P Borkovany) and on investing in battery storage.
Electricity from gas generators in Borkovany will balance the Czech power grid
MND is entering a new business that has great potential. We are finalizing the Borkovany Support Services Source (BSSS) project, the core of which is an electricity generating facility that will be used to regulate imbalances in the Czech Republic's electricity grid once it is operational.
We have upgraded the Bentec 350 - increasing the lifting capacity to 418 tonnes
Our company is pleased to announce a major modification to the Bentec 350, which will increase its lifting capacity from the original 350 to 418 tonnes. This move will allow us to better respond to the growing demand for heavy rigs that has arisen not only in the Oil and Gas sector, but also in the deep geothermal drilling sector.
MND aim to lead the way in hydrogen technology
MND, a. s., Energy Division, has made a capital contribution to Nano Advanced, s. r. o. This is another significant step in the development of hydrogen technologies. MND was the first commercial producer of green hydrogen in the country, and MND Gas Storage is preparing for the possibility of storing a mixture of hydrogen and natural gas. Further hydrogen technology projects will require the acquisition of electrolyzers with power input up to 1 MW. Unfortunately, the delivery time for suitable electrolysers is three to five years due to the complexity of their production, and for this reason a capital entry into a company that would produce the equipment in priority for our company and adapt it to our needs seems to be a more interesting option.
We are increasing the installed capacity. Oriv wind farm in Ukraine is operational
The MND Group has entered a new phase in the renewable energy sector. In cooperation with our Ukrainian partner Zinoviy Kozytsky, whose company played a key role in the construction and completion of the ORIV joint wind farm project in the Lviv region, the supply of green energy to the Ukrainian grid officially started in February 2024. Ten state-of-the-art NORDEX wind turbines, type Delta 4000 - n149/5.4-5.5, with a capacity of 54.6 MW, are currently being prepared to increase the wind farm's capacity to 60 MW.
The damage from the Russian missile will take two years to repair. We are grateful for MND's help, says the rector
Rector of the National Technical University of Oil and Gas in Ivano-Frankivsk Ihor Chudyk had a birthday on June 22. The celebration did not take place, as a Russian rocket landed on the school he heads in the morning and seriously damaged the entire campus. Horizons, a subsidiary of MND Ukraine, has long been working with the university and decided to help it with a million hryvnias to initially repair the damage.
A hundred rescuers intervened at the reservoir in Uhřice. The exercise tested all components of the
"Section Commander to Strike Commander: we're starting to cool the probe!" comes over the radio from a fireman wearing a breathing mask. Streams of water from the fire hoses spray the production cross of the probe, from which gas escapes spontaneously to prevent ignition. Dozens of firefighters are on the scene, water tankers are running one after the other, an ambulance is on the scene and a drone is monitoring the situation.
