Volkswagen Slovakia places special emphasis on environmental and climate protection. This is evidenced by Volkswagen's commitment to the Paris Agreement, as well as ambitious corporate goals that go beyond the commitments arising from the Volkswagen Zero Impact Factory brand strategy.
Volkswagen Slovakia has long placed emphasis on sustainable car production and one of the monitored indicators is water consumption. The Bratislava plant draws the largest volume of water from its own wells and returns purified water in the quality of aquatic ecosystems back to nature. Wastewater treatment takes place in a top modernized corporate wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). At the same time, the company is working within the framework of Zero Impact Factory's sustainable strategy to ensure that the operation of the WWTP is also carbon neutral in the future.

Shortening supply chains is not on the agenda yet,” says Aleksander Raczysnki, CEO of the Gefco Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary, in an interview.
