ESG-Performance & Reporting
ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) refers to the basic principles of doing business sustainably. The Volkswagen Group’s stakeholders (e.g., investors, employees, customers and NGOs) have high expectations of the company’s ESG performance, including in action areas such as decarbonization and integrity. ESG performance thus directly affects the Group’s market capitalization and cost of capital as well as, for example, its attractiveness as an employer. The aim of one specific Group initiative within the Group strategy 2030 is therefore to improve the Group’s ESG performance in order to, among other things, ensure its investment capability and optimize its cost of capital.

ESG Factbook
The ESG Factbook focuses on providing both quantitative and qualitative references and “Further Information” across the core dimensions of Volkswagen`s Environmental, Social, and Governance sections. In addition the Factbook also addresses broader ESG-relevant topics such as Just Transition and other emerging themes. It is primarily grounded in disclosures of the Annual Report 2024, with particular emphasis on the Sustainability Report 2024 as the core reference. To ensure a holistic and well-substantiated view, the Factbook also integrates insights from additional authoritative sources, including corporate policies, official websites, and other relevant governance documents.

Green energy for Gigafactory Salzgitter
PowerCo SE relies on climate-friendly electricity for the operation of its cell factories. For the Salzgitter gigafactory, it has now concluded the first long-term purchase agreements with the green energy producers Alterric and EnviTec Biogas AG. From 2025, they will supply around 240 gigawatt hours per year from wind power (Alterric) and around 65 gigawatt hours from solar energy (EnviTec Biogas AG). Over the entire term of ten years, this will result in a total of 3 terawatt hours of green electricity, which will be used to operate the Salzgitter gigafactory.
