CSR report 2021/2022

2. Foreword
„I am extremely happy that we can present you our CSR report for the 2021/22 season. We became
essentially the very first football club in the Czech Republic to publish its own comprehensive CSR
report in this way.
Social responsibility has long been an integral part of the club's strategic management. Our goal is to
be a role model and inspiration for other domestic sports clubs in this area. The release of our first
CSR report represents another pivotal step on our journey.
At the same time, I am extremely happy that in addition to the many awards we receive for our
diverse CSR activities, whether it was the LFA Awards for CSR for the seasons 2019/20, 2020/21,
2021/2022 or 1st place for the Czech Republic in the prestigious Responsiball rankings, our efforts are
increasingly appreciated by our fans and the general public. I would like to thank all of you who also
actively support us in this effort in many ways.“

relationships with key stakeholders. This fact is relatively much determined by the philosophy of

responsibility.“

example for those around us.“

• In addition to regular surveys among club employees, partners or fans, modern multi-dimensional
CSR assessment models have been introduced, following the example of successful Western
European clubs, which allow a comprehensive assessment of the club's CSR activities.

season.
• It also tries to take into account other hidden elements affecting the performance of sports
organizations, highlighting in particular the role of key stakeholders for their successful functioning.
• In addition, the Global reporting initiative (GRI) international reporting methodology was used to
create the CSR report.

10. CSR strategy
• With set goals in the field of CSR and their subsequent evaluation, our club strives to reflect all its
key stakeholders. Their expectations are not only included in the club's strategic management
documents (including the CSR plan), but also outline the ways to their effective implementation and
evaluation.
• During 2021/22 season the management of our club addresses each of our key stakeholders with
the following key questions:
• What are the expectations and requirements of individual stakeholders in relation to our club?

in cooperation with the Czech Radio Endowment Fund and Radiožurnál as part of a spring domestic
match with Sparta.
• Not only did the fans and their entourage have free admission to this match, but Radiožurnál's
sports commentators directly from Stínadla provided them with a special commentary, which was
much more descriptive of the "classic" radio broadcast of football matches

14. FK Teplice and supporting surrounding
communities
• Our club is aware of the position of the largest sports club in Teplice and also one of the most
important in the Ústí nad Labem region and also strives for continuous active contribution to
positive social change in the region, to be an inspiring example for its surroundings
respectively.
• In more than seventy years of its existence, our football club has become much more than just
a symbol of football. It has become an important entity in our region, which allows people to
identify not only with the club, but also with the Teplice and Podkrušnohorský region as such.
• We very much appreciate the fact that our club is still considered a community club in today's
globalized world, also because most of our fans live in its immediate vicinity and are attached
to it by a very strong emotional bond.

15. FK Teplice and supporting surrounding
communities
• At the same time, we are aware of the relatively exceptional influence of FK Teplice towards
the surrounding communities, which can be effectively used both to strengthen internal
integration in the communities and to their overall development.
• We are particularly aware of this fact towards the Ústí nad Labem region, where our club
operates. It is a region facing many challenges, both environmental and especially social.
• We are convinced that this strategic effort of ours not only contributes to the more successful
and sustainable operation of the club, but also helps to solve a number of the above-
mentioned social problems, especially in the Ústí Region.
• In particular, we develop CSR programs in the community area, addressing as a matter of
priority those issues that have the greatest potential to bring shared value to both the
surrounding society and our club.

16. FK Teplice endownment fund
• In order to direct the activities in the area of social responsibility even more effectively, the
club established its FK Teplice Endowment Fund in 2020, which became the flagship of the
club's CSR activities.
• Through it, it is increasingly trying to help dozens of individuals or non-profit organizations,
especially in Teplice and the Ústí nad Labem region.
• The great advantage of the FKT Endowment Fund is that it helps really quickly where it is
really needed. In doing so, it uses its close multilateral cooperation in the field of CSR with a
number of regional and local charitable and non-profit organizations, resp. relatively
comprehensive overview of the needs of the environment.
