CEZ signs Pride Business Forum memorandum supporting the LGBT+ community
CEZ Group, whose headquarters is located on Prague's Rainbow (Duhová) Street, has signed a memorandum of the Pride Business Forum initiative, in which it commits to implementing the principles of LGBT+ diversity while creating a friendly and open work environment for all regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity. The company is planning, for example, meetings between employees and representatives of the LGBT+ community, as well as training aimed at eliminating various prejudices. At the beginning of this year, CEZ Group adopted a new diversity and inclusion policy. One of the first practical steps towards a more diverse and inclusive working environment was to adjust the rights of registered partners to the level of married couples.

ČEZ seeks to promote greater diversity in its work teams, adopting a new diversity and inclusion policy
Higher performance, loyalty to the employer, but also a more creative approach to problem solving and better work results – that is how recognised international studies describe the long-term impact of greater diversity in work teams. ČEZ Group is therefore bolstering the area of diversity and inclusion by adopting a new policy. It is intended not only to help meet the company's ambitious goals of increasing the number of women in management, but also to attract new employees from various groups that are often disadvantaged in the labour market (e.g., seniors, LGBT, people with disabilities, informal caregivers, etc.).
