As part of our after-sales services, we continuously work to optimize the management of chemicals, waste, energy and water. We are based on our internal experience, international standards and follow current trends in environmental and energy management. Employees of authorized services are professionally trained so that they can successfully apply the principles of sustainable development in their daily activities and thus reduce their impact on the environment.

A system of “goTOzero” certification, which is based on established standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 and other evaluation systems, has also been developed and is gradually being put into practice. An independent audit assesses 70 indicators in several areas – from the energy consumption of a building, through water management and employee training, to activities that contribute to the biodiversity of the surrounding area. GoTOzero RETAIL certification was piloted on eleven markets in 2023, and more than 37 dealers from throughout the entire global trading network had earned a Sustainable Dealer certificate by the end of 2024.

Trees are one of the largest and longest-living organisms on Earth, which are an integral part of our landscape. They are a source of oxygen, filter the air from harmful substances and cool their surroundings in summer. The Company also enriched the Czech landscape with new trees, doing so for the eighteenth year in a row. As has become the tradition, it planted one tree for each car sold in the Czech Republic as part of the Škoda Trees grant programme. Some 1,331,864 trees were planted as part of the project by the end of 2024, something akin to more than 277 hectares of new forest.
