Emphatically developing a culture of integrityIn 2020, we forged ahead with the overhaul of our materiality analysis begun in the previous year and established a new binding sustainability strategy with the development of a sustainability narrative for the Volkswagen Group. Some 60 stakeholders were involved in this process, including decision-makers from various business areas and brands as well as representatives of the Sustainability Council. The materiality process is used to identify and evaluate the most important sustainability issues for the Group. The decisive factors here are the impact on the environment and society, stakeholder expectations, the business model of VolkswagenAG and compliance with legal provisions and internationally established reporting standards.
