›  Lights were switched off at ŠKODA #auto for one hour last Saturday
› ŠKODA #auto has taken part in the World Wide Fund for Nature’s (WWF) initiative for the ninth time in a row, setting an example for global climate and environmental protection 
› ŠKODA #auto is continuously working on reducing its energy and water consumption per vehicle built; by 2025, ŠKODA is expecting to lower all production related externalities pervehicle built by 52.5 per cent of the 2010 figure.

Mladá Boleslav, 29 March 2021 – ŠKODA #auto switched off the lights in 28 areas of its Czech plants, and in its Indian plant in Pune and Russian plant in Kaluga, from 20:30 to 21:30 last Saturday. It did so as part of the international Earth Hour initiative organised by 
the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), in which ŠKODA #auto has now participated an impressive nine times in a row. By taking part in the event, the Czech carmaker wants to symbolically emphasise its commitment to more environmental and climate protection. 

By 2025, ŠKODA is expecting to lower all production related externalities per vehicle built by 52.5 per cent of the 2010 figure. This includes the CO2, energy and water consumption, and waste and volatile organic compounds.

In the Czech Republic the lights were switched off for one hour at the headquarters in Mladá Boleslav, the service centre in Kosmonosy as well as the Kvasiny and Vrchlabí plants last Saturday. In India, the lights were switched off in the carmaker’s plant in Pune, while in Russia the 
lights went out in Kaluga. By participating in the global Earth Hour initiative, ŠKODA #auto set an example for environmental protection and sustainable company development. The manufacturer intends to further improve its ecological footprint using various strategies and measures. 

All the energy generated to power ŠKODA #auto vehicle and component production plants in the Czech Republic will be CO2-neutral in the second half of the decade. The Vrchlabí plant has been ŠKODA AUTO’s first CO2-neutral production facility since late 2020. One of the reasons is that ŠKODA #auto is rigorously capitalising on alternative energies. Moreover, natural gas is going to be gradually replaced by CO2-neutral methane from biogas plants as of 2021.
