1) All data apply to features of the German market.
2) The 44 drive versions to Euro 5 emission standard still included in the 2014 figures no longer appear in the 2015 figures following the switch to the
Euro 6 emission standard.
LOCATION-BASED
ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
Our integrated approach involves considering not only the
CO2 emissions generated by a vehicle’s operation, but also
location-based environmental aspects of the Company’s
value creation.
/EMISSIONS REDUCTION AND
RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
The location-based environmental activities focus on reducing
energy consumption and the associated emissions, along with
using production resources efficiently.
The Audi Group is striving to reduce its specific CO2 emissions
by 25 percent by 2018 compared with emissions in 2010. In
addition, 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 is pursuing the long-term vision of an entirely
carbon-neutral automotive manufacturing process. In addition
to our ongoing optimization of processes, we focus above all
on consistent implementation of energy-saving measures
when planning production and supply facilities as well as
buildings, and when defining logistics processes. In 2014, the
Audi Group became the first premium automobile manufac-
turer to obtain accreditation of its corporate carbon footprint
under the globally valid DIN EN ISO 14064 standard. This
process involves disclosing our Company-wide greenhouse gas
emissions along the entire value chain so that we can analyze
them in even greater detail and influence them more actively
in the future.
As well as CO2 emissions, we look at the key environmental
metrics for energy, organic solvents (volatile organic com-
pounds), fresh water, waste water and solid waste.
The Audi Group has set itself challenging targets with regard
to the sparing use of resources. The Group is striving for a
25 percent improvement per reference unit in the key envi-
ronmental metrics for energy, fresh water, waste requiring
disposal and organic solvents (volatile organic compounds)
over the period of 2010 through 2018.
