Equal Opportunities

Different cultural traditions in the global markets and increasing economic dynamism demand great flexibility from a modern company. To achieve this, it is necessary to make maximum use of the opportunities and innovative potential that stem from the employees' different backgrounds. Staff appreciation has long been a tradition in the Volkswagen Group. The same thing applies to the specific promotion of socially disadvantaged groups. We attach great value to the diversity of the different people we employ. Mutual respect is a principle that has been written into our Group values. It forms the basis for a productive corporate climate in which all employees enjoy the same opportunities.

Valued diversity
Not all members of staff are equal. There are outward and subjective differences, different lifestyles and different ideas about the future. Productively exploiting this diversity within the workforce is one of the goals of our management.

Career women
Ever since the 1980s, the Volkswagen Group has been encouraging and promoting equality between men and women. Targeted measures are employed to boost the proportion of women even further and to make us even more attractive on our way to being the top employer.
