Society

As one of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers, we bear significant responsibility toward our partners, stakeholders and society. We are aware of our role and our impact on society. The holistic approach of regenerate+ provides the foundation for us to further develop environmental and social topics together with our partners and stakeholders.

Part of our responsibility is to meet legal, social and environmental requirements not only within our own Group, but also throughout our supply chain. Our supply chain comprises more than 63,000 supplier locations in 93 countries worldwide. We are working to shape our supply chain responsibly by identifying, mitigating and minimizing risks to potentially affected people and the environment.

Stakeholders: We are a trusted partner

We strive for long-term and resilient relationships with our partners and stakeholders. The foundation for this is our long-standing tradition and the integration of regenerate+. As a globally operating company, our business activities affect the lives of many different people. We see it as our responsibility to actively help shape the framework of our economic activities through dialogue with our stakeholders. To achieve this, we rely on continuous and open dialogue that provides space for both constructive and critical perspectives. Our focus is on understanding the perspectives and needs of our stakeholders and building resilient relationships, with the aim of deepening connections, fostering trust and creating lasting partnerships.

Society is part of us, and we are part of society. We support various projects through donations; in addition, our employees contribute through their direct engagement in voluntary activities. With regenerate+, we bring these activities together under the term “Societal Impact”. Our primary focus is on supporting corporate citizenship projects. These include future-oriented, environmental, educational and community projects at numerous locations worldwide. In addition to donations, we established a Sustainability Impact Fund in 2025, which is endowed with up to €20 million per year and supports sustainability projects.
The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO₂ emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior. Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO₂ emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO₂ emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
