We are convinced that behaving with integrity and in compliance with the rules is of key importance for our Group’s future success as a provider of sustainable mobility.
In the TOGETHER 2025+ Group strategy, we have therefore made integrity and compliance a central pillar and set a major objective: to act as a model of integrity. Our aim is therefore to create a business whose rules, processes and corporate culture are geared to ensuring that every employee behaves with integrity and in compliance with the rules at all times.
To realize the ambitions of TOGETHER 2025+, since 2018 the Volkswagen Group has built a comprehensive and holistic integrity and compliance management system, which is being rolled out across the Group through the “Together4Integrity” (T4I) program. T4I is our joint path to establish robust and consistent process standards and permanently anchor these in our Group and organizational policies.
T4I is based on the five fundamental and widely acknowledged principles of the Ethics & Compliance Initiative (ECI). The principles relate to strategy, risk management, acting with integrity, a culture of open discussion and taking on responsibility, including in the case of misconduct.
