We are on an exciting journey towards the future in an industry that is facing major changes in the coming years. Our values provide the foundation that ensures we are ready to meet future challenges. We do not just want to keep up with the development of the industry – we want to lead it.

Our values serve as a framework for how we communicate and collaborate, and as something we can rely on when making decisions.

They reflect the behaviours we want to see, not only within our organisation but also in relation to our customers, partners, potential employees, and the wider world. Our values reflect what we believe in and what we stand for: Drive, Integrity, and Sustainability.

We take responsibility for our part in the bigger picture and are passionate about achieving results based on our own and our customers’ needs. We are driven by strong commitment and take and maintain the initiative to ensure successful completion. We create opportunities by being solution-oriented, while also being brave enough to try new things and challenge the status quo in order to develop.

We always take responsibility for our work, our goals, and continuous improvements, while going the extra mile with enthusiasm and pride.

We create openness and are always honest and genuine. Mutual trust and respect form the foundation of our relationships. We are transparent and say things as they are. We respect each other’s expertise, opinions, and roles – and extend the same respect to everyone we meet.

Our attitude and working environment are open and characterised by professionalism – we act in a business-minded and responsible way. Credibility and reliability are fundamental to us.

We continuously strive for a sustainable environment, organisation, people, relationships, and products – because that is how we succeed today and tomorrow. We take a long-term and responsible approach to our commitments.

We have a culture characterised by diversity, inclusion, care, clarity, and helpfulness. We create motivation and engagement through participation – we become both stronger and smarter when we work together.

The purpose of the programme is to provide a framework for acting with integrity and in accordance with rules and regulations – this is the governance dimension of T4I. In addition, T4I also has a cultural change dimension: reaching people and strengthening their own motivation to act with integrity.

For our employees, this provides a stable framework in which they can act responsibly, purposefully, and with an entrepreneurial mindset, contributing to Volkswagen Group fully acting with integrity and being a respected company in the best sense of the word.

Volkswagen Group Essentials are the foundation for cultural change. These fundamental values define how we at Volkswagen want to work together and complement the Code of Conduct, which establishes the general rules of behaviour, particularly regarding compliance with laws and regulations, as well as internal guidelines.

The Volkswagen Group Essentials are a promise to our customers, shareholders, business partners, and ourselves: they describe what the Group stands for across all brands, companies, and countries. What WE stand for.

The Volkswagen Group Essentials provide guidance for all employees in their daily value-based actions. As part of the Together4Integrity programme, we are implementing the Volkswagen Group Essentials worldwide.

At Europcar Sweden, we have connected our values Drive, Integrity, and Sustainability to the Volkswagen Group Essentials.
