#ExploreŠkoda Podcast 2.0

Mladá Boleslav, 22 April 2024 – Škoda Auto has introduced its own ‘Curiosity Fuel’ coffee at its Czech plants and offices. The coffee, which is grown, roasted and packaged specially for the car manufacturer, preserves the local environment and supports fair and secure wages for local workers by adhering to Rainforest Alliance principles. Additionally, the coffee aims to ‘fuel curiosity’ about sustainable practices along the entire value chain. As a car manufacturer, Škoda takes a holistic approach to sustainability and focuses on minimising the footprint of its business activities along the whole value chain, driving sustainable growth and promoting circular economy principles: The coffee bean husks of Škoda’s Curiosity Fuel, which would otherwise be discarded as waste, are used to sustainably tan the leather for the seats in the Suite Design Selection of the Kodiaq and Octavia. This project is strongly supported by the KOVO trade unions.
