DOCK for a greener planet

Earth Day has been celebrated all over the world on April 22 since 1970, with the aim of drawing the attention to the need to protect our environment. Our planet does not have unlimited resources, and we humans need to remind ourselves of this from time to time, so that we do not forget to treat it responsibly and with such an attitude that our children and their children's children can live on it long after us… Even for us in DOCK is the future of the Earth not indifferent. What do we do to keep it green and healthy for a long time?

Entrepreneurship can be both ethical and successful at the same time

5. 12. 2022

The world of business has recently been driven by the often-mysterious letter combination ESG. It is an English acronym meaning environmental, social and corporate governance – that’s the easy part. But what do these three benign letters really mean, e.g., for companies, their employees and all the others who come into contact with Crestyl and its projects? That’s what we asked Magda Pokorná, Chief Corporate Officer at Crestyl.

Madagascar: out to the lemurs and baobabs

5. 12. 2022

“Momma, will you let me go to Madagascar after New Year’s?” I asked my wife once. “Only if I go with you!” was the resolute answer. After all, Madagascar is Paradise and the dream of every traveler! There is no other place in the world with more exciting “endemic” experiences. This destination’s in­timate charm far outweighed the potential pitfalls of the Madagascar monsoon season.

Czech elections are about emotions

7. 9. 2022

We have a presidential election coming up at the beginning of next year. The campaigns are now getting underway, but many Czechs don’t even think about the successor of the current head of state, or leave their decision to the last minute. In an exclusive interview, we asked Jan Tuček, director of the renowned Czech research agency STEM/MARK, how he sees the presidential election and more.

Diagnosis - a case of the Dolomites

6. 6. 2022

"When I first arrived in Italy’s Dolomite Alps 30 years ago, I was flabbergasted. I was so impressed by the power, omnipresence and bizarre shapes of rock towers, summits, peaks, in short, every inch of this incredible landscape. When I came here for the third time, I was frustrated by my inability to capture and take with me at least fragments of the unending mosaic of curious phenomena, images and natural scenery. By my seventh visit, I was thrilled that I could actually grasp the uniqueness of these mountains within the scale of the entire Alps. When I was here for the twelfth time, I was surprised that these mountains still had something to offer me, they still inspire in me an immense aesthetic feeling and a sense of satisfaction. And I keep coming here, because for me, it's a kind of Diagnosis of the Dolomites.”
