Sustainable Value Enhancement

Our goal is to run our business responsibly along the entire value chain. Everyone should benefit from this – our customers, our employees, the environment and society. The Group’s sustainability strategy regenerate+ provides important stimuli that are aligned with our objectives.

The main financial performance indicators for the Volkswagen Group are described in the “Results of Operations, Financial Position and Net Assets” chapter. Non-financial key performance indicators also provide information on the efficiency of our Company’s value drivers. These include the processes in the areas of research and development, procurement, technology, production, marketing and sales, quality assurance, human resources and information technology. In all of these processes, we are aware of our responsibility towards our customers, our employees, the environment and society. In this chapter we provide examples of how we want to increase the value of our Company in a sustainable way. Comprehensive information on individual topics is provided in the sustainability report within this management report. This chapter also includes descriptions of the key intangible resources.
