Environmental Commendations.

Volkswagen uses Environmental Commendations to document the environmental progress achieved by its vehicles and technologies compared with predecessor or reference models. Our Environmental Commendations provide our customers, shareholders and other stakeholders inside and outside the company with information about how we are making our vehicles, components and production processes more environmentally compatible and what we have achieved in this respect.

On the following pages, you will find information on Environmental Commendations, Life Cycle Assessments and how they are produced. We explain which vehicle models and technologies have received the Commendation and what you yourself can do in addition to improve your own personal environmental performance.

After the Polo, Golf and Passat, the Transporter is already the fourth Volkswagen model to receive an Environmental Commendation, which has also been awarded to two BlueMotionTechnologies: TSI and DSG.  Continue...
