Diversity & Inclusion: milestones of a journey
AUDI AG regards diversity & inclusion (D&I) as a journey that the company embarks on together with its employees. Milestones show the many ways in which Audi shapes diversity.
Manifesto
Each individual’s uniqueness is a precious asset, since each person is characterized by their own stories, ways of thinking and abilities. Different perspectives can help drive transformation, because change is not born from uniformity. With an internal D&I Manifesto, the Board of Management of AUDI AG has sent out a sign of appreciation and a strong commitment both internally and externally.
Anti-discrimination office
Audi does not accept either discrimination or bullying in the company. For this reason, a point of contact was created to provide advice and support prevention efforts related to discrimination. This adds a confidential advisory service to existing reporting channels – from person to person.
We.Together – D&I Days
With the theme week “We.Together,” Audi brings together people from all countries and Group sites. The action week reflects current D&I topics through various interactive formats; network events and cultural activities complete the program. The month of May, as European Diversity Month, offers the opportunity each year to reflect on diversity internationally and continue developing it further.
Inclusion Survey
Audi takes D&I into its own hands – with the regular Inclusion Survey. The aim is to obtain an extensive picture of the perspectives of the workforce and to derive measures from this. At the heart of the survey are questions on the five topics of authenticity, belonging, psychological safety, inclusive behavior as well as fair practices and corporate culture. The survey is a special barometer, especially in times of change.
Sustainability
Diversity & inclusion provide an important foundation for the transformation of Audi. Varying perspectives, ideas and opinions are the key to innovation.
