The BOHEMIA SEKT Group includes sparkling wine production and important Moravian wineries. In addition to the Bohemia Sekt brand, its portfolio includes the most famous sparkling wines in the Czech Republic, the Habánské sklepy wine brand, Víno Mikulov, Chateau Bzenec, Vinařství Pavlov, the Avanti beverage brand and Metropol aperitifs. The company’s priority objective is to meet the needs of its customers and other stakeholders to the maximum possible extent, with an emphasis on ensuring the quality and safety of its products, minimising its impact on the environment and supporting the health of its employees.
In this context, the company strives to increase the level of communication with its business partners and other stakeholders. To meet this priority objective, the management of BOHEMIA SEKT, s.r.o. has issued the following policy:
Customer focus – the company monitors the current and future needs of its customers, meets their requirements and tries to anticipate their expectations. It takes care of expanding the customer’s knowledge of wine and of the culture of consumption and handling of wine.
The qualification, training and motivation of the staff is developed with a view to the future needs of the company. Through continuous training and education, it encourages employees to increase their knowledge and to take greater responsibility in the integrated management system in order to avoid unnecessary or unacceptable risks affecting the quality or safety of the products, the environment or the health of employees.
The process approach – management according to identified company processes – is the basis for a company to be financially strong, professionally organised, optimally technically equipped and able to respond flexibly and quickly to market demands, always with respect to quality, health and safety, and minimum impact on the environment and employee health.
Continuous improvement – the results of continuous monitoring of the company’s core processes are the basis for setting quality targets and for improving good hygiene and production practices. Monitoring of environmental impacts determines goals and programs for continuous improvement of the environmental system and environmental profile and pollution prevention. HSE monitoring is reflected in accident prevention.
Mutually beneficial supplier relationships – the company and its suppliers are interdependent. A mutually beneficial relationship enhances their ability to create value. Therefore, the company encourages suppliers to comply with the applicable laws and regulations and contractual requirements conveyed by the company, including ethical standards, in their operations.
Compliance with legislation and ethical standards – the company is committed to continuous compliance with Czech, European and, in the case of export, relevant foreign legislation or other legal requirements to produce safe and wholesome food, to protect the environment, to protect the health of workers and to comply with generally accepted ethical principles of business and interpersonal relations.
Communication – the company communicates openly with the public, local and state authorities, associations, customers and suppliers, and accepts and takes seriously comments about the quality and safety of its products and the impact of its activities on the environment and on the health of its employees. It shall inform its employees, persons working for the company, the public and other interested parties about this policy and its implementation.
The Company’s senior management and executives always act in accordance with this policy and set an example for their fellow employees. Employee Involvement – employees are encouraged and required to be involved in quality, health and safety, environmental and ethical standards, to improve their work, to support the company’s strategy through their performance, to ensure the company’s reputation and to further promote ethical standards in the public arena.
