As a car manufacturer, we can never claim to have a truly positive impact on the environment – and nor should anyone else in the automotive industry. But what we can be certain about is that the billions of pounds we’re investing in responsible technologies over the next decade will place Audi at the forefront of efficient motoring and manufacture.

The principles of constant innovation at the heart of Vorsprung durch Technik already place Audi in a strong position. Technologies such as our lightweight space frames, efficient TDI engines and our waste-reducing manufacturing processes all serve to cut CO2 emissions. And we’ve been doing this for years – we’ve improved our cars’ efficiency by over a third during the last 25 years, and we pledge to reduce the emissions of our vehicles by a further 20 per cent.

We’re continuing to work hard today to create a clean driving tomorrow and have a number of very exciting developments to offer our customers over the coming years. Read on to learn more about our commitment to reducing our, and your, impact on the environment.

In the UK

Whilst our colleagues in Germany are doing everything they can to make our cars more efficient, at Audi Head Office in Milton Keynes we are also committed to reducing waste.  A lot of what we do isn’t very innovative, you probably recycle paper and switch off unused appliances at home, but it does make a significant difference to our carbon footprint.  On top of this, by investing in technologies like intelligent lighting and video conferencing we are able to work efficiently without compromising our business standards.  And by joining forces with Audi UK’s franchise operation to minimise waste, we are generating tangible environmental benefits across the whole of the network.

 

Volkswagen Group UK has partnered with Autogreen Ltd to provide a Government approved national network of certified dismantling facilities. They will take care of the environmentally friendly recovery your car once it has reached the end of its life. To find your nearest Volkswagen Group UK appointed recycling facility visit www.rewardingrecycling.co.uk or call 0800 542 2002.

We also take back a large range of used parts from vehicle repairs and remanufacture on an industrial scale. These parts are sold across the world with a full manufacturer's guarantee under the name Genuine Parts.
