Climate and sustainability are inextricably linked to justice and fairness, competitiveness and trust. We cannot look at them in silos.
🇪🇺 needs:
✅economic deal
✅industrial deal
✅political deal
✅social deal

As the negotiators fiddle with potential compromise language on phasing out fossil fuels at #COP28 data and evidence like this is important 👇. And then we could take about the economics of the energy transition. #EnergyTransition#SDG7
After months of hard work, a @UN-led operation has successfully transferred more than one million barrels of crude oil from the decaying #FSOSafer, averting a major environmental & humanitarian disaster in the Red Sea.

One lever to #decarbonization is to democratize e-mobility since electric vehicles emit hardly any CO2
during usage. #VWGroup is a driving force for the rapid decarbonisation. We will only succeed if we
work together. That’s why #COP27 is important to develop shared action.
♻️ Going all-in on #electrification means driving #sustainable solutions at every turn. Therefore #VWGroup of America & @RedwoodMat collaborate to recycle @VW & @Audi batteries. The partners create the US’ only closed-loop supply chain for lithium-ion batteries. 🇺🇸⚡
In Moscow children are being arrested and detained because they hold up “no war” signs.
Putin is not just killing innocent people in Ukraine, he is also eliminating the last traces of civility and humanity from Russia.

(2/2) Für die @VWGroup gibt es keinen Zweifel: Die Zukunft der Mobilität ist elektrisch! VW hat sich als 1. Autohersteller zu den Pariser Klimazielen bekannt, ist mittlerweile E-Markführer in der EU. Umstieg verläuft weltweit aber unterschiedlich schnell: https://t.co/a6sR0oGQ4W
Wir bleiben im Dialog! Marcus Otten & Justus Poschmann aus der Konzern-Nachhaltigkeit haben heute die Unterschriften von @GP_Jugend entgegengenommen & in einem einstündigen Gespräch unsere Position dargelegt. @greenpeace_de (1/2)
🌍 #VWGroup was the first automaker to commit to the Paris climate agreement back in 2018.
ℹ️ Click below to learn which efforts Volkswagen is making to protect the climate in many areas: in its products, in production and together with partners.
🌍 #VWGroup is on its way to becoming a climate-neutral company. Many of the 660,000 employees are doing their own bit for sustainable management and to fight global warming.
💚 We introduce five people who work on protecting the climate on a daily basis.

Good to see growing support among EU industry #CEOAlliance for our upcoming package to deliver the #EUGreenDeal. Businesses and the innovation they drive are crucial to translate objectives into real change, and prove that we can transition in a fair, green, and competitive way.
Happy to join @volkswagen#WayToZeroConvention tomorrow and talk with @RebHarms , Michael Sommer and Ulrich Gereke about decarbonization along the value chain and implications on employment
How can we know a product’s true carbon footprint? Our digital factory in Amberg developed a #blockchain solution to track emissions along the entire value chain, so we can find ways to address this. One of many actions @Siemens is taking to be #carbonneutral by 2030. #EarthDay
We had a great session with EU VicePresident @TimmermansEU : a group of great companies across different sectors united to foster the @EU_Commission Recovery Plan
Good news on our sustainability journey, result of hard work within the last five years: Volkswagen Group is officially reinstated as a participant of the UN Global Compact https://t.co/8hp8MB9mnp
