    Volunteering
    Employees of the carmaker
    also actively contribute to
    biodiversity preservation and
    environmental protection,
    which is part of the company
    culture, and showcase their
    commitment even outside
    of work hours. Every year,
    around 300 employees and
    their families take part in the
    Clean Up the Czech Republic
    campaign at three Škoda Auto
    plants in the Czech Republic.
    In addition, members of the
    KOVO Trade Union assist
    the ČSOP Klenice non-profit
    organisation by mowing
    meadows, establishing ponds
    and removing non-native trees.
    International Biodiversity Day,
    celebrated on 22 May, emphasises
    the importance of preserving
    diversity at the genetic, species
    and ecosystem levels for humanity.
    In its Green Future strategy and
    related projects, Škoda Auto has
    made along-term commitment
    to minimising its environmental
    impact and ensuring sustainable
    protection of the environment, thus
    aligning with the Group’s goTOzero
    environmental model. The goal
    is to minimise the environmental
    impact of all mobility products and
    solutions throughout their lifecycle.
    Projects and challenges
    Since 2007, Škoda Auto has been
    supporting reforestation through
    the Škoda Trees grant programme.
    For every car sold in the Czech
    Republic, the carmaker plants
    one tree. By the end of 2023,
    this initiative will have resulted in
    1,244,080 trees planted.
    This year brings anew
    initiative, the Krakonoš Gardens
    grant appeal. The Škoda Auto
    Foundation, with support from
    the PSU – Environmental and
    Work Protection department and
    Volkswagen Financial Services,
    will support projects focused
    on the genetic, environmental
    and ecosystem diversity of plant
    and animal species in specific
    locations. The aim is to increase
    public interest in the environment
    and actively involve people in
    taking care of and preserving it.
    The programme is taking place in
    the Mladá Boleslav, Rychnov and
    Vrchlabí regions, with the expert
    guarantor being the Management
    of Krkonoše National Park.
    Trees, bees, falcons
    There are more than 1,700 trees,
    as well as hedges and shrubs, on
    the premises of the three Czech
    production plants. Over an area
    of more than 507,000 m
    2
    , they
    provide habitat for numerous
    species of insects and other
    animals. The Vrchlabí plant, for
    example, houses four beehives that
    are home to some 160,000 bees.
    Apair of peregrine falcons
    nests on the chimney of the
    ŠKO-ENERGO heating plant
    in Mladá Boleslav. After two
    years, they have returned to the
    birdhouse, having nested on the
    lower chimney of the Paint Shop
    in the meantime. In May, two
    fledglings hatched from their eggs,
    which were the first eggs in the
    Czech Republic to be monitored
    by Alka Wildlife. Alka Wildlife
    deals with wildlife protection, and
    on its website, it also maps the
    nesting of falcons, which are an
    endangered species in the Czech
    Republic. An online camera allows
    viewers to observe the falcons in
    Mladá Boleslav.
    The falcon birdhouse was
    installed on the chimneysgallery
    by ŠKO-ENERGO in 2013, and
    the first birds of prey nested there
    two years later. With aheight of
    167.5 metres, the birdhouse is the
    second-tallest on Czech industrial
    chimneys, and so far, 28 falcon
    fledglings have called it home.

    International Biodiversity Day
    Greenery around us
    Adendrological survey is carried out annually
    in Mladá Boleslav. “We need to be aware
    of what grows where and, above all, the
    condition of the trees,” explains Luděk Holub
    from the PSZ/42 – Infrastructure Operation
    department. During the survey, two external
    specialists inspect the entire plant area, the
    area around the Pentagon, the Administration
    Centre and the car park around the Škoda
    Museum. Each tree and shrub group has
    aunique number that is recorded in the
    both tabular and graphic formats to create
    acomprehensive inventory. The graphical
    representation takes the form of amap
    depicting the plant and other locations.
    Vitality
    The dendrological survey focuses on
    monitoring and recording numerous
    parameters, such as genus and species, trunk
    circumference at aheight of 1.3metres
    from the base, tree height, crown diameter,
    physiological age and vitality (the health
    status and prospects for the tree – ed.).
    Based on the collected date, treatment
    measures are proposed for trees in need.
    This may involve various types of pruning,
    removal of dry branches or ensuring the
    tree’sstability and healthy growth.
    Tree condition
    The summary report of the
    dendrological survey provides treatment
    recommendations, pruning guidelines
    and tree-planting suggestions, as well
    as proposals for removing dead or
    unpromising trees. “Of course, we replace
    cut trees with new ones. If atree requires
    apermit for cutting, we have to apply to
    the environmental department of the city
    council. In such cases, replacement planting
    is mandatory,” says L. Holub. “Thanks to
    professional surveys, we are aware of the
    condition of our trees and can regularly and
    properly take care of them. For example,
    there are two rare Chinese metasequoias
    on the premises of the Mladá Boleslav plant,
    one of which is 26 metres tall, making it the
    tallest tree,” concludes L. Holub.
