Being aware of the impact our activities have on the environment, we endeavour to find sustainable solutions to current climate challenges.
In accordance with the group's environmental policy, we are:
reducing energy consumption at our operations;
using alternative or renewable energy sources;
limiting our carbon footprint and supporting responsible projects;
reporting emissions, actual results and activities related to greenhouse gases, in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
We lend energy-efficient refrigerators to our customers. They are 57% more economical, use new coolants and do not contribute to global warming. Our iCoolers saved 72 tons of CO2 in 2020. We only monitor NOx emissions in the operation of the boiler room, which is only used in the Czech Republic as a backup source in the event the external heat supply is interrupted.
Our customer service is based on direct contact in individual premises. We used 480 cars for administrative and commercial purposes in 2020.
What we plan by 2021:
Environmentally-friendly transport should, in 2021, bring a further reduction in CO2 emissions by up to 11% for vehicles up to 3.5 t. In addition, according to available information, CNG cars are more environmentally-friendly than electric cars. Within 3 years, we plan to replace the rest of the car fleet with a more environmentally-friendly alternative. Thus, by 2030, its emissions will fall by 55% in comparison with 2017.
One of the most successful acceleration programmes dealing with climate change is the Climate Challenge; its second year took place in 2020 and we had the opportunity to be its partners through The Coca-Cola Foundation.
What is the Climate Challenge?
It is a year-round acceleration competition. All the selected projects from the Czech Republic and Slovakia that pay attention to the causes or impacts of climate change, environmental topics or the circular economy obtain comprehensive support over the course of a year. Examples of support could be, for example, individual mentoring, which takes place throughout the acceleration in the form of workshops on specific topics (such as law, marketing, finance and accounting). The projects also include mastermind meetings, where people can learn the other participants’ know-how and share their experiences and contacts. They include meetings with prospective investors and corporate partners of the programme, such as Veolia, The Coca-Cola Foundation, Heineken, Nestlé and the Circular Economics Institute. The Climate Challenge transformed into an international project with the new name ClimAccelerator in 2020.
Petr Vítek, Impact HUB
“The climate crisis is probably the largest global problem that humanity has ever faced. It is also a huge business and value opportunity to transform our economy and our relationship to the countryside. We only have hope for success if the changes at the top in the field of regulation and self-regulation in the public sector and large companies are supplemented by functional innovation from below. And this is what the Climate Challenge is for.”
