Next Level Škoda Strategy 2030

The auto industry is navigating an unprecedented shift, and Škoda is actively participating in the transformation. For us, sustainability isn’t an afterthought – it’s central to our strategy. Our mission is to minimise our environmental footprint, drive sustainable growth, and make a positive impact on society. These are some of our key sustainability commitments by 2030:

Our Three Pillars of Sustainability

Our strategy for achieving our sustainability commitments rests on three pillars (ESG):   Environment encapsulates our whole-value-chain approach to sustainability, covering everything from sourcing materials to end-of-lifecycle considerations for our vehicles. Social is inspired by shared-value concept, aimed at positively impacting society. Governance outlines how we conduct our business sustainably.

  • SocialSustainability-category-2_61de6764
  • Governance

We create products and mobility services in line with environmental regulations and standards, but the story doesn’t end here. We’re working to reduce the environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle and embracing circular economy principles.

As a modern car company, we go beyond just building vehicles; we view our work as an opportunity to increase road safety, enhance technical education, and raise living standards across all the regions where we operate.

Our Corporate Governance systems reflect our obligations and dedication to responsible, competent and transparent business activities. These not only keep us on the right track; they are crucial to our sustainable success.

Supply Chain

Our procurement strategy integrates key sustainability aspects—decent working conditions, business ethics, responsible sourcing of raw materials, and environmental protection, including recycling and reducing our CO2 footprint. We partner exclusively with suppliers who actively support these commitments.

Supporting a Green Future: Škoda’s Sustainability Framework

Launched in 2012, our Green Future programme rests on three pillars: Green Product, Green Factory and Green Retail.
 
The Green Future philosophy focuses on reducing the environmental impact of all our mobility products and services, from raw material extraction to end-of-life, with the aim of preserving ecosystems, benefiting society, and fostering regional development.
 
In 2019, the goTOzero mission was introduced as part of Green Future, prioritising four key areas: climate change, resources, air quality, and environmental compliance.

People and Communities

We are aiming for a principle of shared value for people and communities. We focus on projects in the areas of education, mobility, volunteering and wellbeing, as well as efforts to provide humanitarian aid.

Aiming for Shared Value

At Škoda, we believe economic and social development go hand-in-hand. That's why we stick to the concept of shared value which should benefit not only us as a company, but also our employees, customers, suppliers, the community at large and the environment. Shared value is based on sharing our skills, know-how and products with others to achieve better results and benefits together. To help us share more efficiently, we have defined two areas of focus within our social sustainability strategy: people & communities and diversity & inclusion.

Governance

Our governance systems ensure that we act ethically and make decisions in line with regional and international laws. Through fair business practices, we’re cultivating the trust among our employees and customers that we need to thrive.
