Compliance and risk management

The elements of compliance and integrity are firmly anchored in our strategy and culture. They are the basis of our actions at Audi Hungaria. Our aim is to make decisions in accordance with the relevant laws, internal regulations, and values.

In order to implement compliance and integrity at Audi Hungaria effectively and for the long term, we use a Compliance Management System (CMS) that adheres to internationally recognized standards. It represents the principles, measures, processes, and structures that must be permanently established and continuously improved in order to comply with laws and counteract systematic misconduct.

We are committed to our corporate responsibility to uphold human rights and, in doing so, take guidance from the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. In terms of content, they refer to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (codified in the Civil and Social Pact), the OECD Guidelines for multinational companies and the core labor standards of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in particular.

As part of the Compliance Management System, Compliance bears central responsibility for the topic of business and human rights and maintains a continuous exchange with various functions, specialist areas and Group coordination. Responsible supply chain management should also be noted as a fundamental element for upholding human rights in cooperation with suppliers.

We have anchored our understanding of the basic aspects of business and human rights in both the Audi Hungaria Code of Conduct and internal policies and have phrased our expectations for employees and business partners in the following documents, for example: Code of Conduct, Social Charter, Volkswagen Code of Conduct for Business Partners.

Together4Integrity (T4I) is the integrity and compliance program of the Volkswagen Group. It consolidates all existing measures that strengthen culture, ethics, compliance and integrity. T4I is based on the principles of the Ethics & Compliance Initiative (ECI), a globally recognized standard for ethical corporate principles.
Integrity and compliance are firmly entrenched in the strategy at Audi Hungaria. Based on that, our goal for T4I is to make Audi Hungaria a better company.

Cultural change is a matter of particular significance. It is a matter of getting through to people and strengthening their own drive to act with integrity. The seven Volkswagen Group Essentials lay the groundwork for this. They define how we want to work together at Audi Hungaria and in the Group. They complement the Code of Conduct, which specifies the general rules of conduct with regard to compliance with laws and internal guidelines.
