    World Water Day is held on
    March each year to highlight
    the importance of water and the
    need for responsible resource
    management. As the climate
    changes and water becomes
    scarcer, addressing water resource
    issues has become increasingly
    urgent. The climate crisis aects
    the entire world and has an
    impact on everyone’sdaily life.
    We are facing more frequent and
    intense droughts, floods and other
    extreme weather phenomena.
    Reduced availability and declining
    quality of water resources aect all
    aspects of human life and natural
    ecosystems.
    Water recirculation and savings
    The automotive industry is not
    standing still. Water is essential
    for many production processes,
    and at Škoda Auto, ensuring its
    availability and quality is apriority.
    The company’senvironmental
    policy is based on the principles
    of careful water and resource
    management. The carmaker
    is working hard to set specific
    targets for reducing the
    consumption of water used in
    production and is actively seeking
    to limit direct withdrawals from
    the Jizera, Bělá and Elbe rivers. It
    is also continuously exploring new
    ways to save water, particularly
    through the adoption of modern
    technologies.
    In recent years, water recycling
    systems have been introduced,
    which have allowed Škoda to re-
    use approximately ,cubic
    metres of water in its production
    processes last year alone. This
    represents % of the total
    amount of water used by the
    Škoda brand in the Czech Republic
    in . Within the VW Group,
    Škoda is one of the brands with
    the lowest water consumption
    per car produced. Last year, this
    figure was just . cubic metres
    per car at Czech plants. To put
    this into perspective, that volume
    is equivalent to roughly  full
    bathtubs, each holding  litres.
    Since , Škoda has reduced
    water usage per car by almost
    %, thereby saving the equivalent
    of seven full bathtubs per vehicle.
    Škoda Auto has also introduced
    anew rainwater strategy. It
    accumulates rainwater in retention
    tanks and uses it to irrigate
    green spaces, including public
    areas, and to clean roads. This
    system allows the company to
    utilise approximately ,cubic
    metres of rainwater per year.
    Climate change is causing not only
    droughts but also floods. Apart
    of the Technical Development
    Campus in Mladá Boleslav is
    located in the floodplain of
    the Jizera River, making flood
    preparedness essential. To mitigate
    risks and prevent damage, the
    company’sfirefighters conduct
    annual drills to rehearse flood
    response measures and post-
    flood recovery. In addition,
    reconstruction of the flood wall
    along the Jizera River is currently in
    progress, with the first two stages
    already underway.
    Water Is aTreasure
    Škoda Auto reduces
    itsconsumption
    Instead of wasting,
    we recycle and
    innovate
    Raising awareness of sustainable waste
    management is the focus of Global
    Recycling Day (#GlobalRecyclingDay),
    observed annually on 18 March. This is
    the approach taken by Škoda Auto, which
    recognises recycling as acrucial tool in
    the fight against climate change. While
    much of the debate centres on energy-
    related emissions, it is equally important
    to consider the impact of emissions from
    material production, including metals,
    wood, construction materials and plastics.
    They keep growing. How materials are
    managed in the economy is at the heart
    of the circular economy. Its principles
    – preserving the highest possible value
    of materials and products throughout
    their lifetime – are also embraced by
    Škoda Auto. The carmaker places great
    emphasis on sustainability and recycling
    in its production processes and overall
    operations and focuses on several key
    areas.
    Pathways to sustainability
    and recycling at Škoda Auto
    1
    Uses recycled plastics and other more
    environmentally friendly materials,
    with up to 40 kg net weight incorporated
    into new models produced from 2025.
    2
    Continuously introduces new
    technologies and processes to
    minimise waste from car production and
    ensure the ecient use of raw materials.
    3
    Focuses on recycling and re-using
    traction batteries as the number of
    electric cars grows. These batteries can be
    repurposed as stable energy storage for
    renewable energy or used to cover peak
    demand and ease pressure on the grid.
    4
    Invests in modernising production
    facilities to reduce their environmental
    footprint. Reduction of Environmental
    Impact of Production (UEP) key indicator
    tracks reductions in energy consumption,
    water consumption, CO emissions, volatile
    organic compound (VOC) emissions and
    waste production per car produced.
    5
    Aims to maximise the recycling and
    re-use of car components, following
    the principles of the circular economy (see
    the March 2024 issue of Škoda Mobil).
    6
    Informs employees and customers
    about the importance of recycling
    and sustainable practices. It encourages
    participation in environmental awareness
    projects, such as Clean up the Czech
    Republic, and engagement in the
    environmentally oriented GreenWeek
    event, which will take place for the fifth
    time this year.
