The Technical Development department’s <strong>environmental</strong> management<br />
system makes sure that <strong>environmental</strong> protection increases <strong>the</strong> value<br />
added in our products and not <strong>the</strong> costs.<br />
The efficiency <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cars developed and manufactured is<br />
and will remain <strong>the</strong> decisive fac<strong>to</strong>r for any au<strong>to</strong>maker, and<br />
in par ticular for a manufacturer heading for market leader -<br />
ship. Targeted and strategic <strong>environmental</strong> management<br />
helps smooth <strong>the</strong> way.<br />
As we adopt an integrated approach <strong>to</strong> <strong>environmental</strong><br />
protection, we put every process along <strong>the</strong> entire value chain<br />
under <strong>the</strong> microscope: from <strong>the</strong> production <strong>of</strong> raw materials,<br />
our own production processes and logistics and <strong>the</strong> service<br />
life <strong>of</strong> our vehicles, all <strong>the</strong> way <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir final recycling.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> process we not only open up new potential for <strong>environmental</strong><br />
protection, we also increase <strong>the</strong> value added, because<br />
<strong>environmental</strong> management provides <strong>the</strong> ideal basis for<br />
sustainable innovations. It also fosters a sense <strong>of</strong> ecological<br />
responsibility among all our employees and in fact demands<br />
it <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m. And making sure that processes are efficient<br />
becomes second nature for every employee. Every day.<br />
