Morávka River Will Undergo Thorough Cleansing

The cleaning of the river will be performed by the non-profit organisation ČSOP Salamander via project „Clean Morávka.“ The project is financially supported by Radegast Brewery with the donation of 200.000,00 CZK (about ,000.00 USD). „Radegast beer is being brewed in Beskydy and so the protection of the environment where the beer is being born is naturally one of the principles of our business. Last year, we have supported the plating of thousands of new trees, some of which we have planted ourselves. This year, we started to clean Morávka river,“ Radegast brand manager Karel Kraus said. Fifty employees of Plzeňský Prazdroj and about 10 significant Moravian personalities took to the river bed. They all started to clean the section of the river around Staré Město by Frýdeku-Místek. The town of Staré Město took care of the liquidation of the collected garbage.

„I am very happy that we were able to participate in this good deed. I was shocked to see how much dirt must be removed from the banks of the river. Beskydy Mountains are our region’s pride so it should be everyone’s duty to protect these natural wonders,“ Senator Eva Richtrová said.

Care for water resources and economical use of this natural resource is one of the priorities of Plzeňský Prazdroj Company, of which Radegast Brewery is a part. Conserving measures are aimed at maximal utilisation of water in washing, disinfecting, ad other technological processes of the production. They have been successful with these measures in Nošovice since, with the consumption of 2.91hl of water per 1hl of produced beer, Radegast Brewery belongs to the top 5 breweries of SABMiller Group, which contains more than 100 breweries from all around the world.
