Memberships in Organizations and Initiatives

As a Group, our various memberships ensure that we are active in a range of areas

We are currently involved in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), and econsense – Forum Nachhaltige Entwicklung der Deutschen Wirtschaft e.V. As a Group, we have been involved in the largest and most important CSR initiative in the world, the UN Global Compact (UNGC) since 2002.

We aim for a resumption of our dormant membership since the diesel issue. For this purpose, the dialogue was resumed in 2018. Regardless of the temporary layoff, we remain committed to the goals and principles of the initiative.

Volkswagen AG has been an active member of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) again since 2018. Council Member is the Head of Sustainability of the Volkswagen Group.
