Becoming net carbon-neutral2: How will we get there?

Sustainability

Way to zero

Way to Zero is our commitment to complying with the Paris Climate Agreement, with the goal of becoming a company with a net carbon-neutral2 balance by 2050. It’s a journey we would like to share with everyone ­– our partners, suppliers, and of course, our customers. A large part of our mission is to give you options that will help you on your personal path to lower emissions. Only by doing this will we all reach our common goal.

Circular economy

Electrification and beyond: Our vision for the future

The finite nature of natural resources and the social and environmental consequences of mining them means the creation of a circular economy is key to becoming sustainable. As part of our initiative, we’re stepping up efforts to use recyclable materials in our vehicle projects. Going forward, the use of raw materials retrieved form vehicles at the end of their life will be increasingly considered.

Our electric heritage

The road to our ID. Range of next generation electric vehicles began in 1970. You could say that electricity is in our DNA. Meet Dr Adolf Kalberlah, the Volkswagen engineer whose pioneering research helped launch electric vehicles onto our roads 50 years ago.
