Our steps to fulfill ESG principles

 

Environmental

  • Energy savings and green energy
    1. Installation of photovoltaics from 2024 (1.1 MWp) with a gradual increase in power. In 2027, the total capacity should be 2.25 MWp
    2. Acquisition of a 387 kWh battery (2025) and plan to expand by 2 MWh in 2027
    3. The share of RES in 2025 was 8.5% of the total consumption of the area
    4. Replacement of existing lighting with LED in the SC hall with a saving of 10% compared to previous consumption
    5. Support for electromobility – vehicle fleet, own chargers on the company’s premises in Velvary (2022, 2023, 2024)
  • Innovation, investment in production technologies
    1. Construction of a new coil-coating line (launch in 2029) – lower water consumption, partial replacement of fossil fuels with electricity, reduction of waste
    2. Replacement of fossil fuel forklifts with electric ones according to performance. Fewer exhaust fumes, can be charged from PV plants.
    3. Modernization of waste treatment – automation of the filter press / wastewater control
    4. Increasing production efficiency at the Kolín plant – modernization of the longitudinal line and packaging line
    5. Reduction of technological waste through secondary processing – laser welding
    6. New production lines – welding line and laser at the plant in Litovel (use of energy efficiently for performance)

Social

  • Own company doctor’s office directly at the workplace in Velvary
  • Higher automation on the new paint line – making work easier
