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.).

ČEZ tests its first floating photovoltaic power plant in the Czech Republic
With the test floating solar power plant at Homole, the upper reservoir of the Štěchovice pumped-storage power plant, power engineers will be able to determine the properties of floating carriers and solar panels in a real environment, in combination with the daily operation of the pumped-storage power plant. In the summer, the pilot installation will be expanded into a regular power plant using solar power, with a capacity of 100 kWp. Overall, the upper reservoir could house solar panels with a capacity of up to 2.5 MW.
