All Audi Group automotive plants, for example, are recognized
under the European Union’s EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit
Scheme), which goes well beyond the minimum standards
required. Furthermore, the Ingolstadt, GyƉr (Hungary) and
Sant’Agata Bolognese (Italy) plants along with the motorcycle
plant in Bologna (Italy) are accredited under the worldwide
DIN EN ISO 14001 standard. The Volkswagen Group manufac-
turing locations in Bratislava (Slovakia), Martorell (Spain) and
Aurangabad (India), where the Audi Group has production
operations, as well as the Changchun and Foshan plants of
the Chinese joint venture FAW-Volkswagen Automotive
Company, Ltd., Changchun (China), are also accredited under
the worldwide DIN EN ISO 14001 standard. The environmental
management systems for the Ingolstadt, Neckarsulm, GyƉr,
Brussels (Belgium) and Sant’Agata Bolognese locations also
meet the DIN EN ISO 50001 standard, which imposes especially
rigorous conditions for continuous, systematic reductions in
energy consumption.

/ EMISSIONS REDUCTION AND
RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
Reducing energy consumption and related emissions is a par-
ticular priority of our environmental activities. We adopt a
holistic approach to this task. As well as CO2 emissions gener-
ated by a vehicle’s operation, we also consider raw materials
extraction, the production of component parts and their as-
sembly, the energy consumption of the production facilities,
and recycling. In this connection, the Audi Group’s corporate
carbon footprint was certified in accordance with the interna-
tional standard DIN EN ISO 14064 in the past fiscal year. The
Audi Group is the first premium carmaker to achieve this certi-
fication. Based on detailed calculations encompassing every-
thing from the emissions of the production facilities to emis-
sions by suppliers and business travel, we have now created
transparency along the entire value chain with regard to our
Company-wide greenhouse gas emissions.
We have set ourselves the goal for 2018 of cutting specific
location-based and company-related CO2 emissions by
25 percent compared with the specific value for 2010. In addi-
tion, by 2020 we aim to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from
the energy supply at the Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm locations
by 40 percent compared with the specific figure for 2010. Audi
has the long-term vision of an entirely CO2-neutral automotive
manufacturing process. Starting with the Ingolstadt location,
this concept is to be gradually rolled out across the other loca-
tions. In addition to our ongoing optimization of processes, we
focus above all on consistent implementation of energy-saving
