Corporate Social Responsibility

ČEPS is well aware of its privileged position in the Czech power sector. Whilst internationally the Company forms an integral part of the European interconnected power system, domestically its activities have an impact on the everyday life of Czech people. With this in mind, the Company has worked hard since its formation to be a reliable and trusted partner both for the wider power sector and the general public. The Company’s main values include applying a high standard of business ethics, environmentally friendly behaviour, transparency and a non-discriminatory approach.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) forms an important element of ČEPS’s wider activities. Four main categories are defined in the Company’s strategy with regard to CSR:

  • Staff
    The Company supports systematic professional training for its employees and is committed to maintaining the highest possible standards and ensuring a safe working environment.
    ČEPS, through its close cooperation with a number of technical universities, is making a valuable contribution to the preparation of a new generation of Czech power specialists and engineers.
  • Business partners
    The Company aims to maintain a high standard of business ethics and a customer-oriented approach. The Company is well aware of its responsibilities towards both the power sector (and its impact on the Czech economy) and its various ENTSO-E interconnected system partners.
  • The environment
    The Company fully complies with relevant environmental legislation at all its facilities; only specially qualified staff are permitted to handle potentially hazardous waste (chemicals from electricity installations).
    ČEPS aims to apply an environmentally-friendly approach towards the countryside traversed by its transmission lines. Furthermore, the environmentally-conscious approach is reflected in responsible behaviour in the workplace. Electrical waste is collected at the Company’s headquarters to be treated and removed in an environmentally-friendly manner; ČEPS has received a “Green Company” certificate in appreciation of its efforts in this regard.
  • Local communities
    The Company cares for the quality of life in regions in which it operates, through its Donation Programme.
