Audi has long been fulfilling its social responsibility on many levels – with the aim of making the future
worth living for generations to come. The basis for Audi’s lasting success is therefore formed by
environmental protection, the conservation of resources, international competitiveness and a forwardlooking
human resources policy. One example of AUDI AG’s commitment to environmental issues is the
newly established Audi Environmental Foundation.
