To repeat what I wrote in last year’s Annual Report: we As was PPF. We were going from strength to strength as must never forget our roots and what has shaped us. This both a creative and progressive force. We had successfully is why we at PPF cultivate Czech potential and why we moved forward with several major projects, including the build on our people, their knowledge, experience, ingenuity, acquisition of the CME media group, a billion-euro bond professionalism, creativity, drive and diligence. issue to finance our telco business, and the establishment and successful launch of a new toll system in the Czech We know that every crisis is also an opportunity, and that Republic. Of course, as happens every year, some of our problems are there to be confronted and resolved. plans for 2019 were not as successful as we had hoped. We learnt lessons from these achievements and missteps alike. Life is what we make of it. What our work brings to others. The real and tangible outcomes we can see behind us But that was before coronavirus emerged. For someone like indicate what lies ahead. me, who loves to create and build, there is nothing worse than seeing decline and destruction. I have experienced Petr Kellner and seen this several times. The pandemic has shown every last one of us how relative the things which we considered essential and constant really are. As a result, we are all now thinking much more about what is truly important in life. Family, children, health, freedom. PPF and I are no exception in this regard. We shall not forget where we came from and what we have been through. This is why the photos in this year’s Annual Report are inspired by the places and values that shaped us the most in our youth. Sometimes I ask myself, “Why do I work so much? Why don’t I relax more?” To be honest, first and foremost, I still love what I do. I like thinking about and figuring out how to do things better, differently. I get a thrill from learning and succeeding. I know that there is always more than one path to reach a goal, and I find it rewarding to seek out the best way forward. And then, most importantly, I feel responsibility. Responsibility for others, for my children, for our businesses, and for what we have built at PPF over the course of almost thirty years. I could never have grown PPF alone, without partners, customers, or employees. Success is not an achievement of a single person, but of the cooperation of a team, including family, friends, and the entire Group. I would like to thank them all for this.

What our work brings to others. The real and tangible outcomes we can see behind us indicate what lies ahead.” 14 Founder and majority shareholder, PPF Group N.V.15 LADISLAV BARTONÍČEK “The things that you have to work on the most will bring you the greatest satisfaction.” Dolní Poberouní is perhaps the most beautiful piece of countryside near Prague, offering a unique combination of the River Berounka and the Brdy Hills. I have lived here for over 25 years and, as we raised our children here, I think of this place as home. I grew up in Libčice nad Vltavou, a small town where, as children, our expeditions and adventures were fixated on the River Vltava. Rivers – these days the Berounka – continue to fascinate me. Sometimes they adapt to their surroundings; other times they shape them. They are a flowing, ever- changing force. A river is defined moment by moment, each instant determining what the river is to be and prompting what will happen in the next.

  • Exclusive Interviews
    2 O i s c 0 s t u 2 o 0 b e e r n o . 2 "Sculpture and installations have a more intellectual approach. They are less direct and ask much more initiative from the audience" EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS: Wolfgang Stiller Iwona Tamborska Marek Emczek-Olszewski Art and lifestyle magazine Madam Jejette & More www.luxurysplashofart.com Photography by Marek Emczek Editor's Note Dear Reader, Welcome to the second issue of Luxury Splash of Art. I am delighted to present you the new art and lifestyle magazine; magazine with a twist, magazine about CREATION, magazine created by like minded people who think outside the box. Why ‘Luxury’ some might ask? It is important to mention that word luxury (in this context) has nothing in common with the material world, things… or those who are wealthy and at the top of their carrier … on the contrary, we are aiming to present the wider aspect and perception of creation. We are all creators, we create every day and that luxury is in us. As a very young magazine at the beginning of the exciting journey, I am thrilled and grateful to all artists who gave us support and trusted us when we invited them for an interview. And thank YOU, Dear Reader, for being here with us. It only confirms that what we do is needed, especially in such uncertain times. Art and creation are very powerful, it is a tool to get through dicult and hard times, it can be used to express feelings and show the beauty of the world but it also can be used to fight for other people’s rights.
