Partner initiatives

More empowerment for female employees at Audi: that’s what nushu, a fast-growing, Germany-wide female business club, stands for. It helps to make ambitious women visible and actively supports them in their careers. This business network aims to network its members effectively whatever industry they are in or position they hold, to share best practice, provide inspiration and impart knowledge.

By joining the ‘UnternehmensForum’ (an association of German companies for the promotion of inclusion in the workplace) in 2018, we made a further statement about our commitment to inclusion. Audi understands the issue of inclusion in the sense of full integration management. The focus is not on the deficiencies of individual employees, but rather on their strengths and potential. Barriers should also be removed, so that even those with severe disabilities get natural access to the world of work at Audi. The Forum offers specific suggestions for the employment of people with disabilities in industry. For Audi, membership provides important access to experts and a platform for the exchange of views on inclusion issues.

Audi understands the topic of inclusion within the context of comprehensive integration management. The inclusion of disabled people has been the goal of the Diversity Strategy for years and is supported by joining the Valuable 500 initiative. We ensure access to the Audi world of work through individual qualification programs, events and the dismantling of barriers. Employees with disabilities get tasks within the scope of operational possibilities in which they can optimally use and expand their skills. The percentage of disabled people is increasing for years now. Successful inclusion at Audi is based on appreciation and a positive leadership culture.
