Submit your projects to the Krakonoš Gardens grant programme. Let's actively care for the environment around us!
Protecting nature and its diversity is one of the building blocks of social responsibility Škoda Auto. For 16 years, the company has been enriching the landscape with new trees in the ŠKODA Trees programme, with 1,173,000 trees planted by the end of 2022, equivalent to more than 244 hectares of new forest in more than 190 locations across the Czech Republic.
