Changes of perspective are important for Audi. The company thus invites experts from business, academic and scientific communities, associations, trade unions and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to dialogue events. This form of open exchange with various stakeholders contributes to an even better understanding of the situation in the supply chain – down to the raw materials and the mining thereof – and to the development and implementation of concepts that can lead to structural change.
In addition, for years Audi has supported the German federal government’s National Action Plan for implementing the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. To this end, as part of an automotive industry dialogue, the company works together with representatives from trade unions, associations, civil society and the academic, political and business communities on developing further solutions for respecting human rights in the value chain.
