In brief Top employer
among young
job-seekers
CAREERS Audi claims yet
another double victory:
Graduates in engineering and
business administration have
again selected the Ingolstadt
company as Germany’s most
attractive employer. This was
the result of surveys per-
form ed by consulting insti-
tutes trendence (“trendence
Graduate Barometer,” Apri
l 20,
2012) and Universum (“The
Universum German Student
Survey,” April 30, 2012).
The number of new hires
demonstrates Audi’s attrac-
tiveness as an employer.
More than 2,200 experts
and specialists were brought
on board in 2012.
A pioneer in the
compact class
LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION
Audi demonstrates its
tech nical expertise once
again with the A3 and A3
Sportback models. Light-
weight construction enables
these new premium com -
pact cars to feature extra-
ordi narily low weights.
The A3 1.4 TFSI weighs
1,175 kilograms – one
of the lightest in this class!
This also explains why its
fuel consumption is 12 per-
cent lower on average than
that of its predecessor.
Audi promotes
integration
COMMITMENT Together with German Chancellor
and patron Dr. Angela Merkel, AUDI AG and other
supporters of the “startsocial” competition
honor exemplary initiatives. Dr. Peter F. Tropschuh,
Head of Corporate Responsibility at AUDI AG,
presented a prize to the Hamburg project “Switch –
around the world in 4 days,” which brings together
children from extremely dierent backgrounds.
Stakeholder
forum discussed
RESPONSIBILITY Corporate
responsibility is the focus
of the Audi Stakeholder
Forum. In four groups,
Audi experts discuss the
transformation of mobility
with representatives from
businesses as well as
from civic, environmental
and aid organizations.
Prof. h. c. Thomas Sigi,
Member of the Board of
Management of AUDI AG
for Human Resources,
stressed to the participants:
“Companies are an impor-
tant part of society. This
is why we strive in all
important decisions for
balance between social
responsibility, environment
and economy. We do this
through open interaction
with the public, our em-
ployees and our other
stakeholders.”
