Procurement

The Procurement Division is dedicated to securing raw materials, material flow, components, and services to fully meet the requirements of customers who choose to purchase Škoda vehicles. Procurement also prioritizes the quality of procured commodities, cost efficiency, and aspects of sustainability and the circular economy.

It strongly emphasises a comprehensive approach to supply chain management and maintaining strong relationships with supply partners. Procurement activities fully align with the goals of the Next Level Škoda Strategy, which defines the Company’s future development.

Activities in India and ASEAN

Vehicles manufactured at Škoda Auto’s plant in Pune, India, have been tailored to meet the specific needs of the local Indian market. Not only that, but they also already boast the highest rating in the Global NCAP, making them the safest vehicles in their class.

Sustainability

The OUR CODE ethical code of conduct and the Sustainability Rating (S-rating) are the pillars on which cooperation with suppliers is built at Škoda Auto, and indeed at the entire Group. Since 2013, cooperation has also been governed by the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG), resulting in updated internal regulations and processes.

Innovation

The Procurement Division actively leverages innovative technologies at its disposal, including automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and business intelligence (BI), to optimise procurement processes, financial efficiency, and time efficiency.
