In 2023, Skoda Auto a.s., headquartered in the Czech Republic (CZ), reported total carbon emissions of approximately 25.6 billion kg CO2e. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 365 million kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 25.2 billion kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions were reported as zero. The total emissions represent a significant increase from 2022, when the company recorded approximately 20.6 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 400 million kg CO2e and Scope 3 emissions around 20.2 billion kg CO2e. Skoda's emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Volkswagen AG, indicating a corporate family relationship that influences its sustainability reporting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by Skoda, nor are there any documented initiatives aimed at reducing emissions. The absence of reduction targets suggests that Skoda may be aligning its climate strategy with broader corporate initiatives from Volkswagen AG, which has established its own sustainability goals. Overall, Skoda Auto's emissions profile highlights the challenges faced by automotive manufacturers in reducing their carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 3 emissions, which typically encompass the majority of emissions in the automotive sector.
