“We would like to thank all the award-winning companies for their outstanding dedication,” said Volkswagen Group and interim board member with responsibility for Procurement, Frank Witter.

“Our tremendous success with the transformation of the Volkswagen Group towards e-mobility is also due to close cooperation with strong, innovative suppliers.”

The award-winning partners had provided key impetus within Volkswagen’s global network during the year and helped the company make progress with the implementation of its strategy for carbon-neutral mobility.
