The independent advisory body, which was established in 2016, supported the Volkswagen Group in important strategic sustainability issues. The committee was made up of experts from science, politics and civil society. In doing so, it acted as a source of inspiration, supporter, critical voice and "challenger" – always with the aim of bringing different stakeholder perspectives into the company.
The revised format is based on the holistic sustainability strategy regenerate+ in its realignment and will provide agile and practical impulses. The name Sustainability Practice Groups expresses this.
Twelve independent experts from science, industry and society contribute their impulses to four Sustainability Practice Groups, each of which focuses on one of the strategic sustainability dimensions: Nature, Our Workforce, Society and Business. In each of the Practice Groups, three external advisory boards work together with three experts from the Volkswagen Group on an equal footing.
As a mobility provider of the future, making a positive contribution to nature and society is the vision and driving force of the regenerate+ sustainability strategy. The new format of the Sustainability Practice Groups enables a practical and constructive-critical discourse with the aim of advancing the implementation and further development of regenerate+.
