Supply chain
This tool helps suppliers evaluate their plants concerning sustainability, the environment, and social well-being regardless of their location and size. In short, Audi uses this procedure to ensure contractual partners comply with the contents of the Code of Conduct for Business Partners. It also lets the company determine the sustainability performance of its suppliers. Since July 2019, it has been a mandatory criterion for awarding contracts across the Group. The rating uses a self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ). Evaluation is based on the suppliers’ responses. In some cases, on-site checks are also carried out. Audi only works with companies that pass this audit. The S-Rating is mandatory for all companies that employ more than ten people at their site and wish to cooperate with Audi. The S-Rating is given the same priority as all other contract criteria, such as costs, technological skills, quality, and logistics. The S-Rating result is divided into three categories: Suppliers with the rating A or B sufficiently meet the requirements of the Volkswagen Group and are thus eligible to receive contracts. If a supplier does not meet the requirements on compliance with sustainability standards (C rating), it is not eligible to receive contracts. This creates a direct incentive for suppliers to improve their sustainability performance.
A systematic approach to raw material supply chains
One of Audi’s goals is to fulfill its human rights due diligence in its raw material supply chains, too. Within the framework of the ReSC system, this is accomplished through the Volkswagen Group’s Raw Materials Due Diligence Management System (RMDDMS), which focuses on concrete measures to identify and minimize risks in upstream supply chains. An objective analysis prepared through the initiative shows which raw materials in which processing sectors may pose the greatest risks to human rights.

Mission:Zero
The acronym CT stands for combined transport and is a mode of transport by which goods are primarily transported by rail; biogas trucks are used for pre-carriage and onward carriage, which results in carbon emission savings of up to 80 percent. Overseas transport provides the greatest lever for decarbonization in finished vehicle logistics. Audi works closely with Volkswagen Group Logistics in this area and increasingly relies on alternative drive systems, such as ships that run on environmentally friendly liquefied natural gas (LNG). As another measure in logistics, Audi is strategically and sustainably optimizing packaging at all locations for resource efficiency. As a general rule, the company avoids packaging whenever possible. Wherever packaging material is necessary, Audi uses circular and renewable raw materials. Starting in 2030, the proportion of circular materials in packaging for new vehicle projects will increase to more than 90 percent. To this end, Audi factors in sustainable and resource-efficient packaging concepts from the early planning phase of new vehicle projects. In holistically optimizing these concepts, Audi incorporates requirements into supplier specifications. This approach has allowed the brand with the four rings to conserve more than 650 tons of plastic annually since 2020, including over 120 tons of polystyrene and foam packaging.
Four-pillar concept for net carbon neutrality in Ingolstadt
Audi’s logistics processes make a significant contribution to the company's sustainability. This means the company can also systematically reduce emissions outside the plant gates. As early as 2010, Audi was the first company to use “green trains” that run on green power. The premium car manufacturer partners with the transport and logistics company DB Cargo to operate net carbon-neutral rail logistics – within Germany, rail logistics is entirely carbon-free.
Audi as an attractive employer
In collaboration with Audi BKK and famPLUS GmbH, there are free programs for Audi employees, including personalized assistance by telephone, online counseling days, care dialog, and care lectures. Audi also acts as a dementia partner, helping to raise awareness and offer online training for employees in cooperation with the German Alzheimer Association and Alzheimer Gesellschaft e.V. (Alzheimer Society of Ingolstadt). For more information on how Audi, as an employer, puts people first, please visit the Audi MediaCenter.

Charging technology and infrastructure
Simple charging makes all the difference
Convenient for everyday use: Efficient, straightforward, and affordable charging for Audi drivers A holistic framework: The proper infrastructure, competitive prices, and a strong network of partners – the brand takes a multi-pronged approach to making charging a premium experience Environmentally friendly: Audi is committed to continually expanding its renewable energy offering for customers – at home, in the city, or on vacation Fast: Audi is introducing more models with 800-volt battery architecture, enabling a DC charging performance of up to 270 kW under ideal conditions
The success of electric mobility depends on three factors: an attractive model range, an extensive charging infrastructure with charging options catering to a wide range of customer preferences, and the availability of green power for charging. Audi is, therefore, driving forward the expansion of its electric portfolio and is committed to expanding a sustainable ecosystem for electric mobility. Together with partner companies from the Volkswagen Group and beyond, the company offers its customers attractive charging options – at home and on the road.
Charging – easy, simple, and affordable
With Audi charging, the premium brand offers customers a convenient charging service that eliminates the need to compare different prices and plans. The service offers three plans – Basic, Plus, and Pro – allowing drivers to choose the one that best suits their individual needs. The Basic plan has no base fee and charges only for actual consumption. The Plus plan is designed for occasional users of public charging stations and includes a small base fee and discounted charging prices. The Pro plan is designed for frequent users of public charging stations and provides access to the Selected Partner Network. The Pro plan features the lowest charging price with a slightly higher base fee.
