CEZ has established several climate commitments. The company aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2040, having readjusted its net-zero emissions reduction target year to 2040 in May 2022. CEZ also has specific intensity reduction targets:
- To reduce Scope 1 emission intensity from 0.38 tonnes CO2e/MWh in 2019 to 0.26 tonnes CO2e/MWh by 2025 and further to 0.16 tonnes CO2e/MWh by 2030.
- To reduce Scope 2 emission intensity from 0.38 tonnes CO2e/MWh in 2019 to 0.26 tonnes CO2e/MWh by 2025 and further to 0.16 tonnes CO2e/MWh by 2030.
- CEZ Group commits to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 83% per MWh by 2033 from a 2019 baseline, with an aim for 97.3% reduction by 2040.
