Social Indicators

[The social indicators are being updated. Some of the figures shown only cover the period 2004 to 2006. The social indicators for 2007 will be available shortly and the information updated.]

A Group-wide system for recording social indicators has been put in place at the Volkswagen Group in the course of the past three years. From the end of 2006 onwards, the system has been introduced progressively. As the newly developed controlling system for the Personnel department is introduced, we aim to include new social indicators in our reporting system. Thanks to the increasing level of standardisation generated in the course of this project, we can now report in more detail on the entire Group workforce, including China. The social indicators published in the present report refer to 100% of consolidated companies.
