EMS is a management system that focuses on monitoring and improving all activities that affect or may affect the quality of the environment or the health and safety of employees. Within the EMS, we identify environmental risks, create conditions for their prevention and elimination, and report on the environmental performance and environmental impacts of activities. All employees receive regular EMS and environmental training at a minimum frequency of once every 2 years. We have updated the training programs for these courses and will continue to do so in the future.

ČEZ successfully met the conditions of the ISO 37001:2016 anti-bribery management systems certification, focused on preventing corruptive behaviour. Due to the covid epidemic, the certification process stretched over nearly two years. ČEZ is the first company listed on the Prague Stock Exchange and the first energy company in Central Europe to achieve compliance with the international standard. Minimisation of the risk of corruption and expanding effective measures to prevent and address problems related to corruption is a key criterion in the ESG assessment of a company’s management.
