Nonetheless, the number of employees has been reduced by ca. 130 at the beginning of 2022. The Group currently employs 2 298 employees.

The EBITDA of the company amounted to exceptional CZK 10,184 million for the year 2021.

Notes: 1) While EU ETS is a joint emissions trading scheme and target is common for whole EU, Effort Sharing Regulation (ESR) sets individual targets for each country in non-ETS emissions (sectors not regulated by EU ETS scheme). 2) Past EU 2030 overall target was 40% reduction and all other targets (CR EU GHG and all ESH targets) link to that. In line with Green deal the overall EU target changed to 55% reduction by 2030 and other targets need to get changed. Current indication of ESH 2030 targets mentions ca -35%, CR specific can be expected around 27-30%. 3)The figures include also bonuses for advanced biofuels in the form of doubling the figures of advanced biofuels.
