💙 For the third year in a row, our colleagues spent a day volunteering at the Emil Open Summer Games.

And just like every year, they came back with plenty of great memories, new connections, and lots of smiles.

What may seem like just a few hours can help create unforgettable experiences and moments of joy for athletes with disabilities. At the same time, volunteering as an internal initiative offers something valuable in return — an opportunity to connect with colleagues outside our regular teams, share experiences, and build new relationships.

A big thank you to everyone who joined and represented Heidelberg Materials Digital Hub Brno. The time you spend making someone else happy is always worth it.

Can you guess this year’s Children’s Day theme? 🎮
Once again, we turned our office into a place for exploration, creativity, and a bit of adventure.
From crafting corners and brick building to ciphers that unlocked access to a hidden cave, there was plenty to keep both kids and adults busy.
It was a full day of activities, good food, and great energy — all made possible thanks to colleagues from DHB who helped organize and run everything.
A lot of small moments, a lot of shared experiences, and hopefully plenty of memories that stayed with everyone who joined.
(And yes — the Minecraft version of the photo was created with AI.) 🤖

Preserving nature, supporting senior care homes, and giving back to our communities—these are just some of the projects included in our Volunteering Programme, which some of our colleagues joined over the past few weeks. 💚

Take a look at these snapshots capturing the places we worked at, the great atmosphere we shared, and the positive impact we made together!

Meet Bruno — our new virtual colleague, currently in his testing phase.

Bruno is an internal tool, so he's currently available only for project team and will be gradually introduced to our colleagues across multiple countries.

Right now, colleagues can try him out by calling or chatting with him in multiple languages and share feedback that will help fine-tune his future role.

Think of it as onboarding… but for him.

This testing phase gives us real-life input, helps us understand where Bruno brings the most value, and prepares the ground for wider use across the company.

Bruno is being shaped to support simple, repeatable requests anytime — making help easier to access and freeing up human experts for more complex topics.

Think: quick answers to common questions, step-by-step guidance, and directing colleagues to the right specialist support when needed

Beyond Our Building: Closer to the Business We Support

The DHB management team visited the Heidelberg Materials CZ plant in Mokrá-Horákov to see the cement plant modernization up close, including the construction of the new kiln that will replace the two existing ones.

For us as an IT team, it was a great opportunity to stay close to the business, strengthen relationships and better understand the real production environment we support every day.

The visit included an introduction to the modernisation project, lunch in the canteen for our colleagues from China, and a tour of the construction site in full safety gear. We saw moving cranes, changing routes, the kiln control room, the old preheater tower and even a dedicated safety training container simulating work at height, electric shock and falling objects.

Thank you to our colleagues from Heidelberg Materials CZ for the warm welcome, hospitality and the chance to see the business we support from a completely different perspective.

Even in 2026, we are continuing our "Well-being Program" initiative - last Wednesday we did "DHB for DHB" event where all of us could choose from several activities focused on improvement of our individual well-being - activities which we love doing 💚. During the 2-hour timeslot some of us played badminton 🏸 while others spent the time reading a book 📖 or playing board games with the team.

At the end of the day, there was a healthy smoothie for all of us being prepared so we can end the day with some energizing and vitamine rich snack. 😋

What well-being activities do you think are the best employer practice? And is there even such a thing?

Our newest “hire” is a bit… different 🤖

We recently welcomed a robotic colleague to support our operations as a Predictive Maintenance Coordinator. While the technology itself is impressive, the most challenging part of innovation wasn’t the robot 👀—it was the environment around it.

Getting everything up and running required significant effort: building a reliable digital backbone, ensuring stable connectivity even in demanding conditions, and meeting strict cybersecurity standards so every data path is secure. At the same time, we had to “teach” our new colleague how to navigate complex terrain, avoid obstacles, and collect meaningful measurements.

Today, it performs infrastructure checks 24/7, helping us identify potential issues early and move from reactive maintenance to a truly predictive model.

This isn’t just about one robot. It’s about building a connected ecosystem where data and technology communicate seamlessly—enhancing the capabilities of our people and shaping the future 📈 of our operations.
