Integrity & Compliance

One hand holds a compass in the background you can see mountains

For us, integrity means taking a stance. Integrity acts as an inner compass to do the right thing out of our own conviction – regardless of economic or social pressure.

Clear rules, clear attitude

“Through our total commitment to integrity and compliance, we ensure comprehensive protection for our company, our employees, customers and business partners. Our values-based approach and consistent compliance with our guidelines form the foundation for trust and success.”
Nicolas Heyer Volkswagen Group Chief Integrity and Compliance Officer
