As a good corporate citizen, the AUDI AG has assumed social responsibility at its production sites for many years. Audi's common understanding of corporate citizenship is based on three fields of action worldwide. "Engage" means, for example, partnerships, donations, sponsoring or voluntary work-programs. "Educate" summarizes initiatives in corporation with schools or other educational institutions. And "Empower" stands for all non-monetary support that enables social engagement in our society such as voluntary activities or resource provision. In addition, Audi México, together with the Sindicato Independiente de Trabajadores de Audi México, maintain a close collaboration for projects that generate welfare for the entire workforce.

Tarek Mashhour, Executive President of Audi México: "Social Responsibility is a fixed pillar of our corporate strategy. With the signing of this cooperation agreement, Audi México is actively shaping the future of the region. We would like to thank San José Chiapa for its cooperation in making the social projects promoted by Audi México a reality. For us, walking together, having a good understanding, a positive and friendly relationship with the authorities is of utmost importance for the achievement of sustainable goals with a view to a more prosperous future for all".

The event was attended by authorities of the San José Chiapa municipality, Arturo Graciel López Vélez, Mayor of San José Chiapa, Ana María Lidia Álvarez Morales, Syndic of San José Chiapa; as well as Tarek Mashhour, Executive President of Audi México and Niels Bosse, Vice President of Human Resources and Organization of Audi México.

With the construction of the sports park, Audi México and San José Chiapa begin a new history of working together that will set a precedent in the history of the plant and the municipality.
