Skoda's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Skoda reported total carbon emissions of approximately 25,593,491,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 364,974,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, while Scope 2 emissions were recorded at 0 kg CO2e. The majority of their emissions, about 25,228,518,000 kg CO2e, fell under Scope 3, indicating significant indirect emissions primarily from their supply chain and product use. Comparatively, in 2022, Skoda's total emissions were about 20,617,546,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 400,360,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions at approximately 20,220,323,000 kg CO2e. This shows an increase in total emissions from 2022 to 2023, highlighting the challenges the company faces in reducing its carbon footprint. Skoda's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Volkswagen AG, which influences its sustainability initiatives and targets. However, as of the latest reports, Skoda has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The company has reported CO2 emissions per vehicle at approximately 38,010 kg CO2e in 2023, slightly up from 38,920 kg CO2e in 2022. This metric reflects the emissions intensity of their vehicle production, which is crucial for assessing their overall environmental impact. Overall, while Skoda is actively reporting its emissions, the lack of defined reduction targets suggests a need for a more robust commitment to climate action in alignment with industry standards.
