Decarbonisation: Climate protection for PlanetBetter

The CO₂ figures which are referenced to in the Sustainability Report refer to CO₂ equivalents (CO₂eq). Equivalents make the greenhouse potentials of various climate-damaging gases comparable with those of carbon dioxide. For the sake of simplicity, in the texts on this page we use CO₂ or the term “carbon”.

Everyone benefits from a carbon-neutral economy. Because it offers more to every single person: more meaning, more security and more future.

We believe in a spirit of change that can unleash new forces. In a world where people develop meaningful solutions for shaping a sustainable future that’s worth living in. What does the Volkswagen Group have to contribute to such a world? Carbon-neutral mobility. With over 670,000 people working towards this goal. Each and every day.

In the following Guided Tours, you’ll discover ideas and projects for decarbonisation. For PlanetBetter.
