Society
As a successful company, Audi wants to give something back to society and to enhance the quality of life at its sites. For this reason, employees, management and labour council initiate numerous donation campaigns; in addition, many employees are involved in social projects through the “Audi a Matter of Honour” program.
Audi also supports educational institutions and has cooperated for ten years with several universities, through the Audi doctoral student program, for example. In sponsoring the arts and culture, the company ensures that the activities sponsored can be accessed and experienced by all.
Looking to the future is also an element of social responsibility at Audi: The Audi Urban Future Initiative promotes an open dialog between experts of various subjects and cultures. The goal is to develop mobility solutions for the inhabitants of the megacities of tomorrow.
Operations
Through its value-based and forward-looking management, the Audi Group not only secures its long-term competitiveness, but also fulfills the various claims of its stakeholders. In this context, the company’s management has the strategic goal of qualitative growth. Group-wide risk and compliance management systems protect the corporate objectives against risks as far as possible. Audi also requires that its suppliers adhere strictly to the sustainability principles of the Volkswagen Group and the environmental and social standards described in those principles.
