ČEPS traditionally features amongst the top ten companies in the Top Philanthropic Company competition in terms both of the amount of funding and the scope of support provided to outside organisations, a fact which is closely associated with the social responsibility the Company has felt ever since its foundation.
ČEPS’s corporate philanthropy budget continues to increase year-on-year despite the recent slowing down of the Czech economy. The Company’s management decided that it was necessary to continue investing in the non-profit sector which is particularly vulnerable to adverse economic conditions which inevitably result in a drop in funding.
The traditional Christmas Collection is very popular amongst the Company employees. The collection’s takings are used each year to support a selected non-profit organisation in the Czech Republic. Drawings made by children living in children's homes are used to create the Company’s New Year greeting cards. Items manufactured by sheltered workshops traditionally feature among the Company’s promotional items.
