Audi 2012 Annual Report Download - page 106

The innovations that give Audi the decisive lead
originate in the minds of our sta. If people are to
play an active role and contribute their ideas, they
must be held in high esteem and know just how
crucial their work is to their company’s success. It
is therefore especially important to me that people
behave responsibly toward one another, appreciate
each other and respect each other’s needs. Along these
lines, we help employees establish a harmonious
work/family balance through childcare services and
flexible working-time models. After all, at Audi
responsibility does not end at the factory gates. All
of our sites are thus committed to environmental
protection and community projects as well as the
promotion of culture and sports. We approach our duty
to society in the same way as our day-to-day HR work:
We focus on the individual.
Responsibility does not
end at the factory gates
