We are committed to achieving carbon neutrality, which is clearly demonstrated by the fact that, in the last three years, we have recorded a continuous reduction of carbon dioxide emissions on the level of the entire MK Group system. We will make a special contribution in the coming period through new investments in energy generation from renewable sources.
We respect the soil and conserve its fertility through sustainable agricultural practices. We treat the use of all natural resources responsibly and their efficient consumption is an integral part of our business policy.

With a grant of EUR 25 million, the Miodrag Kostić Foundation will open the first centre for research and the popularisation of science in Serbia – the Palace of Science. On more than 5,500 m2, it will offer visitors a range of scientific content, along with 19 research centres of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade.
The MK Group and AIK Bank donated to 20 kindergartens in Serbia, Slovenia, Montenegro and Croatia during 2023. Donations in the total amount of EUR 680,000 were used to renovate and equip preschool institutions so that children could have the best conditions and the most creative environment possible.
