Environmental protection and social rights are major fields for the subject of sustainability. Sustainability is the concept derived from a discussion about the recognition of global ecological problems and globally increasing social problems of poverty as a result of economic development processes.
It represents the extension of the social concept of responsibility in relation to the global development conditions of humanity and is based on the assumption that ecological, economical, and social problems have to be solved by means of new integrated strategies involving guiding actions.
Operating as a social group of agents, multinational companies have a central role in the field of sustainability. Volkswagen also admits its responsibility being the scale for its long-term corporate policy.
Sustainability in Supplier Relations at Volkswagen
Environmental protection and social responsibility have a long tradition at the Volkswagen Group. They are the basis for a long-term corporate policy. It is important for Volkswagen that our partners supply perfect quality and at the same time also fulfill environmental and social minimum standards worldwide.
Therefore, integrative environmental and social standards have been implemented into the supplier relations. In the following brochure you will find detailed information about this project.
We would appreciate to enter into discussion about the issue of sustainability.
