Volkswagen Group of America - Corporate Social Responsibility

The growth and momentum Volkswagen Group of America has achieved makes it clear that we’re more "At Home in America" now than ever before.

Today, we continue to deepen our American roots through investments in our people, facilities and products. In fact, we’ve invested more than $4 billion in the North American market since 2008, including building the only platinum LEED-certified plant in the world in Chattanooga, Tenn. Building on this foundation, we are now entering the next phase of our long-term growth plans with more than $7 billion earmarked for investments in North America by 2018.

As a family of brands and businesses, Volkswagen Group of America is unified by much more than our dedication to building great cars. We are unified by a shared mission and commitment to putting our engineering expertise, innovation and vision to work for the greater good, to help improve our communities and solve the sustainability challenges of the future.
