THE AUDI GROUP’S RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS
LOCATION-BASED ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
Sustainable management is an integral component of our corporate strategy and seeks to recon-
cile economics with ecology.
In addition to consistently implementing and improving measures designed to boost the efficient
use of resources, the Audi Group participates in a wide range of initiatives. We also maintain a
regular dialogue with associations, government agencies, politicians and journalists about the
principles behind our environmental philosophy. The Audi Group goes far beyond the statutory
requirements in its efforts to practice sustainable management.
