The environment  in Czech Republic is effected by  operation of power plants and processes of heat and power co-generation. These environmental impacts can be reduced by professional management of these activities along with due conduct on our side. Our environmental friendly way of management of power and heat generation has been based upon our qualification in technology operation and personnel control capabilities and involvement. Our responsible approach to the environment is documented  by the  following commitments :

-          Environmental protection is one of the major priorities in our power companies and has become an integral part of its governements

-          Respecting the existing laws governing the environments and the peaceful use of nuclear energy and ionising radiation along with observance of the limits established by these laws and/or with respect to international obligations of the Czech Republic in environmental protection are considered our essential duty.

-          Environmental protection in our country is based on prevention aimed at creation of systematic condition for safe and reliable operation.

-          Our impact on the environment are monitored and evaluated. The resulting knowledge is utilised in our entreproneurial activities as well as for providing information for the government authorities, regional bodies and the public.

-          In the preparation of technical measures for  environmental protection, the best available, economically feasible, safe and environmental friendly technologies, are preferred.

-          Our approach to the environmental affairs takes in account the specific situations in  which  each power plant is operating and we respond to any constructive criticism and ideas presented by interested parties.

-          We are aimed at improving our environmental protection mainly by means of the use of raw material, supplies and energy, control of air emissions and utilisation of the by-products, firstly the ash and gypsum in other industries.
