Focus on the Circular Economy
This time, GreenWeek will introduce employees to topics related to the circular economy and biodiversity, not only in production
he circular economy is the overarching theme of the second year of the goTOzero Week, to which the VW Group is inviting its employees worldwide in the second half of September 2022. The programme includes lectures and talks by experts to share experiences and transfer inspiration between departments and brands. At ŠKODA AUTO, this week is called GreenWeek, and the individual presentations, which focus on circular design, waste and circular management at ŠKODA AUTO plants, the circular economy in everyday life and biodiversity, among others, will be broadcast live from a virtual studio and complemented by employee interactions on the Slido platform. Recordings of the individual broadcast days will be available to view in the ŠKODA Media Centre.
GreenWeek will also feature several accompanying activities. For example, a screening of films with environmental themes, the first ŠKODA SWAP, which will take place on Thursday, 22 September, in Mladá Boleslav and will focus on exchanging clothes and books that you no longer use and wish to pass on and, last but not least, educational events in cooperation with the KRNAP (Krkonoše Mountains National Park) in Vrchlabí.

This will include lectures on greenwashing, sustainable fashion and closed food cycles.

Biodiversity
Climate change is having a significant impact on the biosphere and human society. How the circular economy can reduce water pollution, protect biodiversity and improve not only air quality but also human health will be presented by both external and internal specialists on the last day of this year’s GreenWeek.
