Our Sustainability Principles

Sustainability Strategy regenerate+

The Framework

Nature

Our commitment: In order to provide society and coming generations with a future worth living in, we have to go beyond the bare avoidance and reduction of emissions. The Volkswagen Group is committed to make a difference for people and the environment.

Our People

regenerate+ dimension: our people

Our commitment: The strength of the Volkswagen Group is inevitably linked to the collective efforts of its employees who work for us across the globe. This means we can only achieve our ambitious goal of a comprehensive, sustainable transformation through joint efforts. It is, however, a path that will benefit all.

Society

Our commitment: The Volkswagen Group bears great responsibility toward society, the environment, our people, and our partners. From this, we derive our ambition to generate a positive impact within the value chain and beyond.

Business

Our commitment: The holistic approach of regenerate+ is accelerating the business models of the Volkswagen Group. New business areas, new products, services and financing models provide the impetus for this.

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.
