Škoda Strategy 2030
Škoda Auto once again joined the global community
in observing World Water Day (held annually on
March), highlighting water’s indispensable
role for our planet. In the face of climate change,
water can either become a source of conict when
access is denied and its use unfairly distributed,
or it can act as an instrument of peace through
collaborative management and sharing of this
precious resource among communities and nations.
Water management is a key pillar of Škoda Auto’s
GreenFuture environmental strategy.
Our company is committed to minimising its water
footprint and preventing pollution of water bodies,
employing modern technologies and practices such
as water recycling and reuse, as well as wastewater
treatment in collaboration with ŠKO-ENERGO.
