a responsible approach to business

priority and fundamentally influences
the structure of their supply chain.
In practice, this means that in 2030,
the company will meet the so-called
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission neutrality
indicators. By 2040, EP Rožnov will be
climate neutral, including its suppliers,
and its operations will not produce any
additional indirect emissions (the socalled Scope 3).”

How was the decarbonisation plan
developed in the case of EP Rožnov?
Ondřej Šišpela: “The first step in
achieving climate neutrality for EP
Rožnov was to quantify the company’s
climate footprint. Almost half of
the emissions produced come from
the combustion of fuels, a large part of
the emissions come from the combustion
of natural gas in the boiler room and
from the use of electricity from the
public grid, and the rest of the emissions
come from normal refrigerant leaks in
the climate units. The calculation of
the climate footprint and the setting of
the decarbonisation strategy were carried
out in accordance with internationally
What are the next steps to achieve
carbon neutrality of the company?
Lenka Vaněk: “Starting next year,
the company will replace part of its
fleet with electric vehicles every year.
The lighting will also be replaced and
the heating system will be modified.
In the future, EP Rožnov could use
heat pumps as a heating source.
The company should also achieve
significant savings in CO2 emissions by
installing a photovoltaic power plant.
In order to cover the total energy
consumption, the company’s own
production from the photovoltaic plant
will be supplemented by the purchase
of emission-free electricity with
guarantees of origin from the grid.”
Ondřej Šišpela: “A suitable extension of
the photovoltaic power plant in the future
may be the construction of a so-called
carport, i.e. a car park covered by solar
panels. The installation of carports will also
make the planned development of electromobility in EP Rožnov easier, for example,
by enabling partial power supply to
the charging stations in the car park area.
These and other environmental measures
will enable a significant reduction in
the climate footprint within two years. In
addition, a unique energy centre will be
created on the company’s premises, where
batteries not used in the production of
electric cars will find a use.”
