Launched just ten months ago – and already very successful: Volkswagen Group’s Carbon Fund has already contributed to many successful projects up to the end of 2019. And now the next stage is underway: 25 million euros is available annually. ...

It was only launched ten months ago - and it is already evident that this 25 million euro investment has paid off! We are talking about the so-called CO₂ Fund, the 'Carbon Fund' of the Volkswagen Group. This money, which was approved by the Group's Board of Management in February 2019, will be used to implement internal climate protection measures - based on an innovative concept.

All Volkswagen Group brands can apply for these financial resources. The prerequisite: they must submit projects that reduce CO₂ emissions, improve energy efficiency or generate other savings. The aim is also to accelerate innovation and strengthen new business models, promote cross-divisional cooperation and improve the Group's reputation through projects with a high level of impact and visibility. Another key aspect in ensuring that a project receives support from the 25 million euro fund: It should be transferable to various Group locations.
