It is crucial for trust in our company, our products, services and innovations that we conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity at all times. In all areas of work and functions, we therefore always make decisions in accordance with our corporate values, applicable national and international laws, regulations and internal voluntary commitments.
Ethics, Risk Management & Compliance
Prerequisite for sustainable success
We understand integrity and compliance not as an end in themselves, but as a prerequisite for sustainable success. They form the core of correct and value-based behavior in the Volkswagen Group. That is why they are an integral part of our strategy.
In recent years we have implemented "Together4Integrity", one of the biggest change and culture programs in our Group's history. Our integrity and compliance activities have reached more than 813 companies.
We are motivated to continue on our path. For us it is clear: We want to set an example, live up to our responsibility – and live up to the trust placed in us by our employees, customers, shareholders and partners.
