Report of the Board of Directors
Environmental Risk Management
Komerční banka, given its objects of business, is not a primary polluter of the environment, but even so it is interested in
environmental improvement and in the enhanced health care of its employees.
For quite some time now, Komerční banka has been implementing activities aimed at an improvement in the environment
and the health protection of its employees, especially in the field of waste management and the use of recycled materials.
The Bank draws on the services of an authorised company to manage waste with an increased likelihood of environmental
pollution, such as fluorescent lamps and toners, and this waste is liquidated in compliance with legal requirements. Recycled
toners and recycled paper are used in printers and photocopying machines.
Besides existing control and reporting systems for energy, water and gas consumption, Komerční banka has launched
preparatory work intended to make savings in and ensure the effective use of energy, especially electricity.
With the entry of Société Générale into Komerční banka, lasting attention is paid to the identification and proper management
of environment-related issues throughout the whole credit risk assessment process too. The identification and quantification
of environmental risks has become an integral part of the normal process of evaluating and managing risks, both for domestic
and international operations. In its customer relations, Komerční banka considers compliance with the relevant environmental
regulations and the use of sound environmental practices to be one of the indicators of the management quality of
a company.
