Once to the moon and back again.

Automobili Lamborghini announces the first NFT (Non-Fungible Token) project in the company's history. Posts on social media about "To the moon" have already hinted at it, but now the space artwork called Lamborghini Space Key has been officially unveiled and will soon be auctioned.

Exclusive project

The centrepiece of this exclusive project, which is limited to five pieces and was created in collaboration with an as yet unnamed artist, is a fragment of state-of-the-art carbon fibre composite material that Lamborghini sent to the International Space Station (ISS) in 2019 as part of a collaborative research project. Following its return from space and all relevant tests for research purposes, the carbon fibre composite material is now part of the Space Key. The company is thus setting another milestone in its history, which now marks its entry into the NFT world.

What are NFTs?

NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are unique identifiers that are registered in a distributed database known as a blockchain and linked to a digital asset such as images, videos, music or other data records (e.g. VIN numbers of vehicles). Each token is unique and guarantees the owner authenticity, rarity, programmability and traceability via the internet.

Our whistleblower system

Compliance with legal regulations, internal rules, the principles of our Code of Conduct and the Code of Conduct for Business Partners is a top priority at Porsche Holding Salzburg. The success of our company is based on integrity and compliance. In order to live up to this claim, it is important to learn of possible misconduct by our own employees or those of our suppliers and to prevent it. We have therefore commissioned the Central Investigation Office to operate an independent, impartial and confidential whistleblower system for us.

An important pillar of our whistleblower system is the principle of fair proceedings. It guarantees the greatest possible protection for whistleblowers, those affected and employees who are involved in investigating the reported misconduct.

This also includes offering opportunities for anonymous reporting and communication. We ensure that we do not take any measures to identify anonymous whistleblowers who do not abuse our whistleblowing system. Discrimination against whistleblowers and all persons who contribute to investigations at Porsche Holding Salzburg will not be tolerated. Those affected are presumed innocent until the offence is proven. Investigations are conducted with the utmost confidentiality. The information is processed in a fair, fast and protected procedure.

How do we process your tip?

Qualified and experienced employees of the Central Investigation Office thoroughly check all reports of potential serious breaches of regulations by employees of the Volkswagen Group and systematically investigate them. Firstly, you will receive a confirmation of receipt. The Investigation Office will then assess your report. This includes obtaining information from the whistleblower in particular. Only if this leads to an initial suspicion of a potential serious breach of regulations will a suitable investigation unit be commissioned to investigate the case. Once the investigation has been completed, the Investigation Office evaluates the results and, if misconduct is found, makes an appropriate sanction recommendation. You will be informed immediately about the processing status* of your report and the outcome of any investigation.

Potential violations of the Code of Conduct for Business Partners, including serious risks and human rights and environmental violations by direct and indirect suppliers, can also be reported to the Central Enlightenment Office. This also applies to other reports that require immediate action by the company. The Investigation Office informs the responsible departments, which process the matter accordingly. This includes, in particular, measures required to minimise or end violations and/or risks.

Further information on the rules of procedure for the Volkswagen Group's complaints mechanism can be found at here.

* The processing time may vary and depends, among other things, on the subject of the notice.
