Vw Paris Agreement
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. In order to achieve the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement, a reduction in CO2 emissions in the transport sector is necessary. Of course, we want to live up to this responsibility. With the aim of creating a fleet of fully electric models, Volkswagen is investing in a holistic approach: mobility for a future that is not only electrifying, but also sustainable. Earlier this year, the Volkswagen Group pledged to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, the 200-country agreement that aims to limit global warming to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit by reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants. This is not an easy task, as most studies show that the Earth has already warmed by half in recent decades. Achieving this goal requires the wide-scale adoption of zero-emission electric vehicles that don`t just reach wealthy buyers. Climate change: Volkswagen is committed to the United Nations Paris Climate Agreement. The goal is to become a CO2-neutral company by 2050. By 2025, the company plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from passenger cars and light commercial vehicles by 30% over the entire life cycle compared to 2015. The company actively contributes to the energy transition throughout its life cycle. Resources: Volkswagen wants to maximise resource efficiency and promote circular economy approaches in the fields of materials, energy and water.
By 2025, the company aims to reduce the environmental externalities related to production (CO2, energy, water, waste, volatile organic compounds) by 45% per vehicle compared to 2010. * Sko Energo will switch to green electricity after 2023 Our holistic approach starts with measures to increase energy efficiency and the use of green electricity at our Zwickau plant. In addition, our suppliers are required to use green electricity in the production of battery cells. We are responsible for the climate-neutral production of your electric vehicle. You are responsible for the climate-neutral use of your car. We offer climate-friendly solutions for all charging scenarios: I am convinced that we have a responsibility and an obligation to contribute to limiting climate change and to work towards achieving our objectives with the utmost consistency. At Volkswagen, we have the opportunity and the ability to do just that. That`s why Volkswagen is acting. Electric vehicles are very energy efficient. Did you know that you can drive 3-4 times further in an electric car with the same amount of energy as with an internal combustion engine? On the way to more sustainable mobility, however, there are a few challenges that we want to tackle with you: In addition, Volkswagen aims to reduce CO2 emissions in the production process by 30% in absolute figures….
