Business for Society in cooperation with Plzeňský Prazdroj organized a unique networking event in Pilsen - a summer meeting of responsible companies about innovation. Companies shared their experiences and innovative practices on how to effectively save water and energy and reduce the overall carbon footprint not only within the company, but also across supply chains.

Byznys pro společnost organized a summer networking of responsible companies on the premises of the Pilsner Urquell brewery. The main topic was water saving, and there was also talk about how to save materials or energy and thus reduce the overall carbon footprint not only within the company, but also across supply chains.

In cooperation with Sinop CB, Plzeňský Prazdroj has developed a completely new and economical beer cooling system, from which the company expects to save 30-40 percent of the consumed electricity. The quality of the beverage will not be affected. Prazdroj is already testing the system in 10 companies in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The Alliance of Responsible Businesses Business for Society organized a unique debate on the topic of the circular economy in the Czech Republic at the Malostranská beseda. Specifically on the upcoming amendment to the Packaging Act, which should introduce a backup system for PET bottles and cans. The Czech Republic would thus join the 16 European countries where the system is already in place. In 12 other countries, its introduction is currently under preparation.

The Ministry of the Environment has prepared a new draft law on the deposit system for PET bottles and cans. On February 28, a debate with experts on the issue will take place at the Malostranská beseda in Prague.

The Alliance of Responsible Businesses Business for Society cordially invites you to this year's first round table on current topics of sustainable and responsible business in the Responsible and Innovative Czech Republic programme entitled: "Circular Economy or How to Circulate Bottles and Cans".
