  Flight through the ŠKODA world

  Happening at Škoda Auto

  Solid result and stable return on sales

  The challenging situation in the car industry continues. It is complicated by the war in Ukraine, a significant increase in raw material and energy prices, the shortage of semiconductors and the instability of supply chains. Nevertheless, ŠKODA AUTO’s key economic indicators for the first three quarters of this year remained stable. The operating result amounted to EUR 856 million (approximately CZK 21 billion), a year-on-year decrease of 4.9%. The return on sales is 5.6%. In the first nine months, the carmaker delivered 544,500 cars to its customers worldwide, down 22.3% from a year earlier. ŠKODA AUTO continues with its NEXT LEVEL Efficiency+ cost reduction and efficiency improvement programme (more about this on page 9) and expects a positive operating result by the end of the year.

  
  

  Demand for ŠKODA models remains high. We are, therefore, doing everything in our power to process outstanding orders as quickly as possible.

  Early bird breakfast

  Six dozen of the carmaker’s top managers attended an informal Early Bird Breakfast meeting with CEO Klaus Zellmer on the morning of 2 November at Václav restaurant. The main topics that were discussed include the current situation of unfinished cars, the shortage of semiconductors, our financial stability and the company’s liquidity. The next Early Bird Breakfast will take place at the end of January 2023.

  Klaus Zellmer visiting the plants

  In recent weeks, the CEO has visited dozens of departments at all three Czech plants, where he met hundreds of our employees. Together with Jaroslav Povšík, Chairman of the KOVO Trade Union, he also met with the union representatives at the individual plants. Among others, Klaus Zellmer visited the forge, the Central Pilot Hall and the ŠKO-ENERGO heating plant in Mladá Boleslav. In Kvasiny, he learned about the dProduction optimisation project, and in Vrchlabí, his visit coincided with the celebration of 10 years since the start of gearbox production.

  Solidarity compensation

  Following the results of the last collective bargaining session and obligations arising from the agreement on collective bargaining concluded on 23 February 2022, the KOVO Trade Union and ŠKODA AUTO have agreed to pay so-called solidarity compensation. In addition to the second part of the company bonus, which is part of the collective agreement, an additional CZK 25,000 will be paid to both regular and agency employees in the December pay period. Employees will also receive 5,000 points on their ŠKODA Benefits Cafeteria account, which is equivalent to CZK 5,000. Therefore, the total amount of solidarity compensation is CZK 30,000.

  Details can be found on ŠKODA Space.

  Convenient parking payment in Europe

  ŠKODA offers a new Pay to Park service that enables parking fees to be paid via the MyŠKODA mobile app or the car’s infotainment system. The carmaker first deployed it in a pilot phase in Switzerland, and it is currently also available in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany and Norway. Eight additional European countries will be added later this year, with further expansion planned for the next year.

  You can learn more about the Pay to Park application in a new episode of the Simply Clever Podcast 2.0.

  Employees test the ENYAQ iV

  The employees of the PK – Component Production department – specifically, the EA211 engine specialists and production coordinators – recently had the opportunity to experience ŠKODA’s electric cars for themselves. Their test drives took place with the support of the GQM – Quality Management, Complete Vehicle Technology department, and the participants compared the parameters and driving characteristics of the ENYAQ iV 60, ENYAQ iV 80 and ENYAQ COUPÉ RS iV cars.

  ŠKODA cars’ tradition of safety

  Over 50 journalists from several European markets took part in a workshop organised by the EKS – Car Safety department, together with the GK – Communications department, at the Crash Laboratory in Úhelnice in early November. The participants learned how the carmaker approaches active and passive car safety during development. This is of paramount importance to the company, as demonstrated by the fact that all ŠKODA models since 2008 have been awarded the full five-star rating in Euro NCAP testing. The workshop also provided an overview of the history of car safety testing (more on this in the August 2022 issue of ŠKODA Mobil).

  Visit by Jan Železný and his family

  In early November, ŠKODA AUTO and the KOVO Trade Union invited javelin thrower, coach and Mladá Boleslav native Jan Železný and his family to visit. His mother, Jana Koutová (formerly Železná), who used to work at the carmaker, was present as well. The visitors were given a tour of the main production plant, the assembly line in Hall M13 with the participation of Michael Oeljeklaus, Board Member for Production and Logistics, and a tour of battery production in Hall M6. This was followed by a joint lunch with Maren Gräf, Board Member for People & Culture, and Jaroslav Povšík, Chairman of the KOVO Trade Union, who also accompanied the visitors during the aforementioned programme.

  Achievements and trophies

  
  

  Golden Steering Wheel for the ENYAQ COUPÉ RS iV

  The prestigious Golden Steering Wheel 2022 award in the mid-size SUV category has gone to ŠKODA’s latest electric model. The sports all-electric car was first selected by the readers of both Auto Bild and Bild am Sonntag. Subsequently, the ENYAQ COUPÉ RS iV also won the favour of the expert jury of racing drivers, journalists and automotive experts who tested it on the Lausitzring. This time, the organisers did not distinguish between cars with combustion engines and electric cars in the ranking.

  The Golden Steering Wheel was awarded to ŠKODA as early as 1999 for the Fabia model.

  Awards for apprenticeship graduates

  This year’s Best Apprentice Award 2022, which is awarded by the VW Group to the best apprentices for their outstanding performance and professional competence, went to Denisa Dvoroková and Václav Krejčík. Having completed their further studies in operational electrical engineering at the ŠKODA AUTO Vocational School, which is part of the ŠKODA Academy, they both work at the carmaker’s maintenance departments. The award was presented to them on 15 November by Maren Gräf, Board Member for People & Culture, and Jaroslav Povšík, Head of the KOVO Trade Union.

  Infrastructure
  

  Project Development in Mnichovo Hradiště

  For more than two years, the carmaker employees have been using the accommodation in a complex of terraced houses with 128 beds in Mnichovo Hradiště. The development project was created, among other things, in cooperation with the KOVO Trade Union to provide a range of quality housing and to support the integration of new employees and participants in talent programmes. A public park is to be built in the courtyard of the houses, with the contribution of the city and ŠKODA AUTO Foundation. The latter contributed CZK 1 million to the construction works on the occasion of a meeting between representatives of all the interested parties in the courtyard on 20 October. The participants jointly planted an oak tree, the symbolic first tree of the park.

  Since its launch in 2016, ŠKODA AUTO has already produced three-quarters of a million KODIAQs. And that is not the only current milestone. The carmaker also recently produced 4 million EA211 engines and 15 million current-generation transmissions.

  The ENYAQ iV Family Continues to Grow

  ŠKODA’s first purely electric SUV gets the powerful ENYAQ RS iV sports variant

  KODA’s line of top-of-the-range sports cars has expanded with a second purely electric model. Following the ENYAQ COUPÉ RS iV is the most powerful version of the original eco-friendly SUV on the MEB modular electric car platform. With two motors, 220 kW of power and all-wheel drive, it offers dynamic driving characteristics. Moreover, it is wrapped in an emotional look with the exclusive Mamba Green colour and several specific design features. Customers in several European markets will get the opportunity to order this novelty in the first quarter of 2023. 

  The ENYAQ RS iV features two electric motors and four-wheel drive. It has a top speed of 180 km/h – some 20 km/h more than the other performance versions of the model. An 82 kWh battery, low power consumption and an air resistance coefficient (cx) of 0.265 allow a maximum range of more than 500 km in WLTP mode. At the same time, it offers plenty of space for up to five passengers and a boot capacity of 585 litres, which is 15 litres more than the ENYAQ COUPÉ RS iV.

  The ENYAQ RS iV is proof that sustainability and performance go hand in hand at ŠKODA.

  Special features and exclusive interiors

  The sporty impression is underlined by the lowered chassis, 15 mm on the front axle and 10 mm on the rear. Also included as standard is the Crystal Face front grille, whose vertical slats and horizontal line are illuminated by a total of 131 LEDs. Together with the Matrix LED headlights and Top LED taillights, which are standard, it creates a unique welcome effect. A large panoramic sliding roof with a movable front section is also available as an option. In addition to the distinctive green shade, customers will also be able to choose from all other colours available for the ENYAQ iV range. 

  The interior, which is dominated by black, includes, for example, Carbon trim, stainless steel pedal covers and heated sports seats. Customers can also choose from two interior designs that are offered exclusively for this model. The RS Lounge interior features black Suedia microfiber upholstered seats, which are trimmed with decorative piping and contrasting lime-coloured stitching. Similar elements adorn the steering wheel and dashboard. The optional RS Suite interior features seats upholstered in black perforated leather with grey piping and contrast stitching. The synthetic leather-covered dashboard is also decorated with contrasting stitching.
  

  170,000

  orders were received by ŠKODA AUTO from all over the world for the ENYAQ iV family cars since its launch in the spring of 2021.

  100,000

  ENYAQ iV family cars have already rolled off the production line.

  Connectivity and safety

  The ENYAQ RS iV’s software can always be updated remotely thanks to a permanent Internet connection via the built-in eSIM card. The driver can also download additional apps or activate new functions. The latest version of the ME 3.2 software brings enhancements to the infotainment system display fields and the head-up display that comes as standard, as well as better climate control and improvements to battery management, including a battery care mode. The MyŠKODA smartphone app includes a new feature that reminds the driver to turn on the interior heating or start charging if the outside temperature around the ENYAQ RS iV is too low to use the battery effectively.

  The ENYAQ RS iV provides a high level of active and passive safety. It offers up to nine airbags, including two optional rear-side airbags. If a collision is imminent or the sensors detect panic braking, the Proactive Occupant Protection, which is standard on the ENYAQ RS iV, is automatically activated, and the system pre-tensions the seat belts. The car offers all of ŠKODA’s assistance systems, including Assisted Driving 2.5, which supports both longitudinal and lateral steering and uses up-to-date online data from other cars to make the assistance systems work more accurately.

  VISION 7S Heads Out into the World

  ŠKODA’s seven-seat electric car study was unveiled in attractive locations in the UK and Spain

  he historic Tower Bridge is one of London’s most iconic sites and welcomes large crowds of tourists every day. This time, however, they were able to see another unique feature: a study of the future electric SUV VISION 7S, with which the ŠKODA brand is presenting not only its new Modern Solid design language but also the maximum use of sustainable materials and even more intuitive controls. The study was shown to influencers at London Bridge on 6 October, and the next day, four selected journalists were given the opportunity to test the car for themselves in the picturesque city of Peterborough. This was followed in mid-October by a three-day event at the Spanish seaside resort of Marbella, where 25 journalists from 10 different markets got to test-drive the car. You can read their feedback next to this article.

  The VISION 7S study is a messenger of change. It introduces ŠKODA's new design language and highlights its emphasis on eMobility.

  Just be careful

  The VISION 7S that was tested is a one-of-a-kind model – not a prototype or a standard car. It cost tens of millions of crowns to build, and most of the parts used are unique. That is why it requires special treatment. “Special equipment is needed to handle the model. Given its many delicate parts and materials, it is transported in a special air-conditioned container to guarantee a constant temperature. The humidity is also monitored to ensure that it doesn’t harm the model’s electronics,” explains Michal Morávek, coordinator of presentations and foreign projects from the EDM – Modelling and Digitisation Design department. 

  5,016

  millimetres in length, the VISION 7S significantly outperforms the KODIAQ.

  14.6

  inches is the diagonal of the large rotating touchscreen that dominates interior of the study.

  Normally, the public is not allowed to approach or even touch such a model. Exceptions are VIP visits or press presentations with the assistance of engineers or designers. In the case of the VISION 7S, however, participants were even allowed to sit behind the wheel, although this was only a driving simulation at speeds of up to 10 km/h. Owing to a number of constraints ranging from the size of the wheels to the ergonomics of the interior and the installation of several technical gadgets, the actual driving of this car is quite challenging. The driver has to contend with a number of constraints, such as a small turning radius and the limited line of vision visibility from the model. ED
  

  What made the VISION 7S so interesting

  “ŠKODA’s new vision for the future of the brand is in keeping with the legacy of its past and present. The VISION 7S is designed to simplify seven-seater cars but cleverly packs more into them. Simply Clever, get it? However, alongside some of the fanciful classic features of concept cars, there are also vibrant and healthy threads of ŠKODA DNA in the VISION 7S, and we are curious to see what kind of production cars will emerge from it.”

  10 October 2022

  “ŠKODA’s new strategy is to combine touch and physical controls. This will bring back classic dials and buttons for some functions.”

  iDnes.cz 

  5 November 2022 

  “The carmaker is targeting families even more. Upcoming entertainment features include a book reader where designers have added access to educational features for the little ones. Parents can read them stories while they wait at the charging stations and introduce them to the world around them thanks to the navigation for kids while driving. It shows the car driving through a fairy-tale representation of the real environment and displays common animals or plants around the road in the area they are currently driving through.”

  Garáž.cz  

  24 October 2022

  “It can already be said that ŠKODA’s future electric top model lives up to its designers’ contention that it will always offer plenty of interior space and practical details, even in a large format.”

• FORCE PROGRAM

  FORCE Program
  

  Millions of Euros Already Saved in India

  FORCE PROGRAM IN INDIA, WHERE ITS PRINCIPLES ARE UTILIZED SINCE 2019, HAS ESTABLISHED A STRONG FOOTHOLD

  The most visible example of the FORCE Program in India is the model offensive in which ŠKODA is responsible for the INDIA 2.0 project.

  ndia’s FORCE Program set a savings target of EUR 8.79 million for 2022 and already reached it by the end of November. Sumit Pethkar, one of the program’s coordinators in India, sums it all up in an interview.

  Which benefits do you see in manufacturing thanks to the FORCE Program?

  We’ve really kicked it into high gear, with clearly defined goals that have great potential. Under the leadership of Mojmír Hájek, we’ve set financial and other targets. The general benefit is that the FORCE Program is helping us to deal with the challenges that we face or will face in the near future.

  Can you name some specific measures?

  In terms of our financial targets, the most significant contributions are in F5 action field (Competitive Cost Structure). Here, for example, we’ve started a project to use the technology we used to manufacture cars with on an older platform. If they are not suitable for production on the MQB-A0-IN platform, we are always looking for new uses for them, even within the VW Group. Originally, it probably would have ended up in the scrap heap. F8 action field (Green Future) is also important to us. For example, we have a project to use rainwater in factories, and we’re striving to transport cars by rail instead of trucks. We can save 332 tonnes of CO2 per year just within the car deliveries to Nepal. In F3 action field (Capacities and Products), in which I’m directly involved, we focus on increasing efficiency. We’re also working on projects in the areas of digitisation, predictive maintenance, exchange programes, talent training and the possibility of customising vehicles by customers, among others. Measures to make the FORCE Program more visible among employees are also important, so we’re considering a project similar to the FORCE Quiz game at the Lean Centre in Mladá Boleslav, preparing the FORCE Portal etc. It’s important for us that people feel connected to the programme.

  Did the FORCE Program play a role in the INDIA 2.0 project? It has now actually come to fruition, so what is next?

  It was extremely important for the objectives of INDIA 2.0 and the FORCE Program to be linked and to give us a clear direction. We’re now focusing on further development, mainly in terms of stabilising production. We’re also exporting cars to other countries – recently, we started exporting the KUSHAQ to the Gulf region.

  How is the FORCE Program helping you with this?

  It helps us in general because every country has different car requirements, for example, which increases production complexity.

  You are also preparing for the arrival of electromobility. How is the FORCE Program operating in this regard?

  We are evaluating the necessary measures in the area of production, we have two ENYAQ iV vehicles on which we can not only do this in the area of Production and Logistics a lot to learn. Of course, we’re also addressing the necessary competencies, and as part of the FORCE Program, we will send a colleague to Mladá Boleslav to gain experience in the production of electric cars. ED
  

• CORPORATE CULTURE

  Corporate culture
  

  Cultural Mindset Index

  The best path to improvement starts with ourselves

  ur company culture is created by each and every one of us. How we do things is as important as what we do. Our attitude, words and behaviour influence not only the atmosphere in the team but also customer satisfaction and the level of cooperation. In addition, they have an effect on whether we can tell it like it is, be courageous, remove obstacles or accelerate our own decisions. These are the aspects that the Cultural Mindset Index (CMX) measures. It is an indicative measurement of the most important elements of corporate culture that should be reflected in ŠKODA AUTO’s target culture description “Uniqueness that we enjoy” (read more in the May 2022 issue of ŠKODA Mobil). 

  The result showed that it is necessary to strengthen the openness and courage of our employees to produce greater efficiency and better customer orientation.

  The first measurement of the CMX survey took place at the carmaker from 8 to 24 June. It targeted indirect staff, and 49% of the employees took part (i.e. a total of 5,161 respondents). The measurement highlights the parts that the carmaker should primarily develop together with the employees (see the white text in the infographic). The result showed that the openness and courage of employees must be strengthened to produce greater efficiency and better customer orientation. A shift in this direction will have the greatest impact on the overall future development of the CMX, which currently stands at 56%. This means that, on average, we do observe target culture behaviours, but not often. ED
  

  The results of the CMX survey can be found on the IdeaSpace Portal.

  he transformation of the automotive industry, together with the current challenges relating to the war in Ukraine, rising energy and raw material prices and the instability of supply chains, is putting great pressure on automotive efficiency. ŠKODA AUTO is taking this into account in its company-wide NEXT LEVEL– ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030, specifically in the NEXT LEVEL Efficiency+ (NLE+). The core of this programme, despite all the current challenges, is to achieve return on sales at similar levels to that before the COVID-19 pandemic in the medium term and to maintain it in 2030 (this is a ratio between profit after tax and total company sales). This is an ambitious target that is in line with the current situation of the automotive industry and comparable to th targets of direct competitors. 

  The programme emphasises efficiency, not just cutting costs. At the same time, it must respect the DNA of ŠKODA and the VW Group, which includes the high quality that customers expect.

  CHRISTIAN SCHENK 

  Board Member for Finance and IT

  The NLE+ programme was created earlier this year by consolidating existing efficiency activities such as the Attack Plan and the fixed-cost reduction programme. At the same time, it is complemented by initiatives in individual areas, such as the FORCE Program in Production and Logistics and the SCOP€ programme by the Procurement and Technical Development departments. The NLE+ programme has three main principles: simplification, strict target orientation and benchmarking with competitors. Christian Schenk, Board Member for Finance and IT, together with Karsten Schnake, Board Member for Procurement, are responsible for NLE+. The programme is managed by Jan Vyčítal, Head of FC – Controlling, and Lukáš Mistr, Head of BW – Value Engineering.  

  Revolutionary changes

  Naturally, the biggest increase in ambition is in areas that now make up only a fraction of the carmaker’s core business. While there is limited scope for growth in profitability in the ICE car business, where it is already delivering solid financial performance, the potential is higher elsewhere, for example, the BEV and PHEV segments and digital services. Similarly, management sees room for growth abroad, especially in the Indian market, as well as in aftersales services.

  We’re monitoring the competition, reviewing our own processes and working even more closely with our partners on the transformation towards eMobility and DIGITALISATION. Only in this way can we build a solid foundation for sustainable profitability.

  Karsten Schnake 

  Board Member for Procurement 

  ŠKODA AUTO has a number of tools at its disposal to implement the programme. “We’re changing the way we look at how to work with material costs or how to manage a company in general. We’re looking at what the different segments of our business bring to the table and trying to target them according to what kind of cars we will produce in the future,” J. Vyčítal explains.  

  The key is also to look for value where the customer sees it. “One of the principles is to focus on the driver. The driver chooses the car and uses it the most, so they must have a high-quality and ergonomic cockpit. Another important area is sustainable materials. Customers increasingly prefer products that are more planet-friendly,” adds L. Mistr, adding that the further development of Simply Clever gadgets is also a must for ŠKODA. Maintaining discipline on the fixed-cost side will be important for the programme’s success. Self-reflection will also be necessary, including the ability to admit mistakes and not continue with unprofitable projects. ED

• QUALITY

  Quality

  Quality is everybody’s business

  The Mindset Quality initiative is based on the NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030 and builds on the new Corporate culture

  Everyone must start with themselves

  The Mindset Quality initiative is one of the lighthouse projects within the Mindset Change programme (Mindset Change, ed.). It is a company-wide activity, which goals include changing corporate culture (more about it in in the May 2022 issue of ŠKODA Mobil). The aim of Mindset Quality aims to new corporate culture is to understand quality not only as a departmental activity GQ – Quality Management, but as something that everyone can influence.

  he carmaker has been doing its utmost for a long time to ensure that ŠKODA customers are satisfied with its products. However, their demands are changing and this means that everyone at ŠKODA AUTO must also dynamically change their approach to quality. Even more important than before is the involvement of all employees. To make the ŠKODA employees aware of this, the carmaker has launched the Mindset Quality initiative, which is based on NEXT LEVEL - ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030. This defines mindset change as an important company-wide task and leads the carmaker to continue to improve in the areas of quality and the resulting customer satisfaction. “One of the aims of the initiative is to emphasise that the heart of quality beats in every employee,” says Florian Weymar, Head of GQ – Quality Management. The video podcasts series, in which managers across the automotive industry describe their perceptions of quality, has to open up a discussion on the subject. Two who have been involved in this campaign, Petra Meliška, Head of STR – Recruitment and Employer Branding, and Marek Jancák, Head of PF – Car Production, were asked for their views.

  Communication is crucial

  “I think that our approach needs to be completely pro-customer and user-friendly in both the internal and the external parts,” says P. Meliška. Her task is not only to bring new quality talent to the carmaker but also to work on developing the existing ones. Despite all of the technical tools that are available, one of the foundations of quality, according to her, is face-to-face communication at all levels of the carmaker. “I recommend taking an interest in what's going on in the company, to ask ask questions, don't be afraid to ask questions. It expresses interest in the topic and no question is too stupid. Try to form a comprehensive picture especially in these dynamic times when conditions change frequently,” explains P. Meliška. One who knows the context, in her opinion, achieves good results more effectively. In any company, good communication between teams is essential. According to M. Jancák, from this point of view, teamwork is the most important prerequisite for a quality product, and thus for a satisfied customer. “Quality is not created by an individual or a single department GQ – Quality Management, which has this in its name, but by a team cooperation between all those involved in the creation of the product. From development to aftersales service,” says M. Jancák.

  Open communication

  The production manager also calls for open communication of errors. “Mistakes are human, they will happen. To avoid it happening again, the person who was at the origin of the mistake needs to know about it. Otherwise, he will probably make it again. The digitisation projects that help us to do this by collecting data and analysing it, automating feedback to the source of any problem. Open communication, not just of mistakes, is the basis for success at all levels in our company, and management plays a decisive role in this. Sharing information is a prerequisite for understanding goals, not just qualitative ones. We have such a culture in the company, and this is our competitive advantage, which also benefits the customer,” adds M. Jancák. ED

  By the end of 2022, the proportion of women in management will increase to 16%. The aim is that by 2025 the proportion of women in ŠKODA AUTO as a whole will rise to 20%. However, the NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030 aims to increase the proportion of women in management to 25%.

  
  

  
  

  22,3% 

  The extremely challenging market environment and supply situation, as well as the war in Ukraine, are affecting the company’s sales results. Deliveries to customers are down 22.3% compared with 2021. These circumstances also make it difficult to attract talented employees to ŠKODA AUTO’s management.

  umerous studies confirm that diversity (especially gender balance) in corporate leadership is beneficial not only in social terms but also in economic terms. Companies and organisations with a higher level of gender diversity in management have an advantage over their competitors in that they work with a much broader perspective. This makes it easier to make decisions or react more quickly to unexpected situations. In the Czech Republic, women make up 63% of university graduates and 44% of the workforce. By comparison, women make up 20% of ŠKODA AUTO’s workforce overall. More than 85% of the management team, while 79% of the employee population is male. The proportion of women among the workforce should also be mirrored in the representation of women in management.

  How to achieve it

  A company culture based on mutual respect and understanding is a direction that ŠKODA AUTO promotes and supports and is an integral part of the company-wide NEXT LEVEL – ŠKODA STRATEGY 2030. The carmaker has, therefore, set clear goals that it wishes to achieve in the future. And it is using a number of tools to do this, such as training programmes, workshops and the career path system. The goal is to support all the talents, regardless of their gender, nationality, age or other features. The decisive factor is always the contribution someone can make to their position. In some cases, talented people may find it more difficult and, as a result, are less motivated to aspire to leadership positions. Therefore, it is important that any barriers – whether real or perceived – are kept to a minimum. 

  Useful tools 

  The role of leaders is crucial, and they need to work sensitively with their teams to avoid feelings of insecurity or dissatisfaction due to differences among their team members. The goal is for employees to perceive the working environment as safe, completely open and with no barriers or conditions to their career progression, and for the teams to be diverse, collaborative and motivated. “Each of us has a responsibility on this topic and must work to promote diversity in our teams. It is also essential to discuss and explain the direction that the carmaker has laid out. This is not only to level the playing field but also to remove any obstacles standing in the way of joining ŠKODA AUTO’s management team,” was how CEO Klaus Zellmer outlined his expectations of the management team.

  ŠKODA AUTO offers all the managers and employees a range of tools to help them come to grips with the topics of diversity and inclusion more easily. They include a workshop for teams on the Male and Female Principles in the Workplace, a mentoring programme, e-learning on unconscious bias, recorded meetings on diversity and related topics in the Media Centre, video content, a guide to parenting in the workplace and, recently, the Simply Diverse QUIZ team workshop, which introduces the basic concepts of diversity and inclusion in an interactive way.

  Diversity in our workforce is a strength that we aim to continue building and fostering. Looking at the current numbers, we clearly have a need to act as we have a significant backlog.

  Klaus Zellmer

  ŠKODA AUTO CEO

  It is everyone’s job to ensure that our teams are psychologically safe and barrier-free with maximum respect for each other. One of the key roles of managers is to enable all employees to reach their full potential!

  Board Member for People & Culture

  This procedure provides a good balance between levelling the playing field and fulfilling our company goals on one hand, and the leadership of Board Areas to choose top talents within their team on the other hand.

• GREEN FUTURE / SUSTAINABILITY

  Together for Sustainability
  

  he Together for Sustainability event took place in early October under the auspices of the EC Planning and Coordination department. More than 40 Technical Development employees gathered behind the Motor Centre to improve the site where the Waterfront Park will be located in the future. At first glance, the idea was simply to connect the Krásná Meadow with Nádražní Street by means of a cycle and pedestrian path. However, this will not be the only function of the park. In fact, it will replace the complicated Jizera Greenway section that runs along the right bank around Česana. Leisure and recreational areas for the public will also be created there: playgrounds, workout sets, the Three Emperors Park etc. The design study of the riverside park considers the interests of the public while respecting the natural and biologically valuable elements. It also contributes to improving the hydromorphological characteristics of the left bank of the Jizera River and the area’s overall biodiversity. 

  Employees were divided into several groups and engaged in various activities. Some collected cut branches and greenery, others created watering bowls around newly planted trees using mulch bark, and still others hammered in tree support stakes. In addition to these activities, the participants enjoyed their motorboat ride on the Jizera River under the supervision of firefighters. ED
  

• GREEN FUTURE / ŠKODA TREES

  How we celebrated Arbour Day

  This year, for the 16th time, ŠKODA AUTO enriched the Czech landscape with new trees

  1.2

  million trees planted under the ŠKODA Trees programme.

  190

  localities have already received new trees as part of the initiative.

  244

  hectares of new forest have been planted across the Czech Republic.

  372

  soccer fields are equivalent to the total size of the area.

  he ŠKODA Trees grant programme was launched in 2007, when ŠKODA AUTO decided to plant one tree for every car it sold in the Czech Republic. By the end of this year, the number of trees planted will reach 1,173,000 in more than 190 locations across the Czech Republic. In addition to our employees and their families, trainees and students from secondary schools have been involved in the project in recent years. Kvasiny, Vrchlabí, Solnice, Rychnov nad Kněžnou, Plazy, Mnichovo Hradiště, Březno and numerous other locations around our plants, as well as in other regions around Mladá Boleslav, can enjoy more greenery.  

  Without trees and shrubs, the Czech landscape is becoming increasingly drier and more severely threatened by climate change.

  Autumn planting

  Countless new tree and shrubs plantings took place in the autumn to celebrate Arbour Day (20 October) in all ŠKODA home regions. For example, the Foundation fund ŠKODA AUTO took care of the older ones – three memorial trees located in the Three Emperors Park near Česana. The Arbonet arborists focused on them by expertly treating the 189-year-old trees.  In fact, the foundation is launching a grant call for environmental protection and biodiversity in December.

  The ŠKODA employee group Volunteers also took part in the planting. Its members, for example, returned the original fruit trees and lime trees to the old orchards. Other volunteers from the SR – External Affairs department and NFŠA helped to plant pear trees on the road connecting Hrušky to Moravská Nová Ves. Thanks to financial support from ŠKODA AUTO and the Partnership Foundation, the municipalities bought 40 pear trees, stakes, protective netting and accessories to help them grow well. Further plantings took place at the end of November in several locations in the Liberec region in cooperation with the Ivan Dejmal Foundation and near Starý Hrozenkov. Volunteers also took part in the Planting Trees for Descendants event to return trees to the places where they originally grew. If you would like to get involved in the planting, just sign up for the ŠKODA Volunteers group via MS Teams.

  Fruit trees return to the Krkonoše Mountains 

  This year’s MMK conference was enriched by a playful quiz on the topic of sustainability, which also financially supported the Return of Native Fruit Tree Species to the Krkonoše Countryside project. For completing each of the five levels of the quiz, the MMK participants received a sum of money, which went to the project through the NFŠA. Almost 200 managers took part in the quiz, and a sum of EUR 12,450 was collected. ŠKODA AUTO matched the proceeds with EUR 20,000 (almost CZK 500,000), which will enable apple, cherry and plum trees to blossom in the Krkonoše Mountains in the coming years. ED

  The VISION 7S is a seven-seat electric SUV with a range of innovative solutions. 

  In October, a partially operational model of the car first went to England, on display at London's Tower Bridge, and was then tested by journalists in Peterborough.

  This was followed by a press presentation of the concept study in the Spanish seaside resort of Marbella.

  The wheels have a diameter of 22 inches and the aerodynamically optimized rims are almost completely enclosed.

  The VISION 7S concept study impresses both in its overall appearance and in a number of unusual details.

  The interior is dominated by a large 14.6-inch rotatable touchscreen.

  During the demonstration of the car, many journalists appreciated the simple mechanical control of some basic functions. 

  The oval steering wheel is more of a design feature of the study. In fact, it is unlikely that it would replace the conventional round one in a regular car.

  What would a ŠKODA be without Simply Clever features? In the case of the VISION 7S, for example, magnetic mobile phone grips.

  The car study highlights ŠKODA's approach to sustainability. The floor and luggage compartment are made entirely from recycled tyre material.
