85 % CO2 savings thanks to rail transport

Following World Environment Day on 5 June, Automobili Lamborghini is announcing another initiative that will accelerate the bull brand's journey towards a greener and more sustainable future. Thanks to an agreement between Lamborghini and the ÖBB Rail Cargo Group, Europe's leading logistics provider for rail freight transport, the Urus bodies will be transported in a sustainable manner from the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau, Germany, to Lamborghini's headquarters in Sant'Agata Bolognese.

Rail transport instead of lorries

This means that lorry transport is being rejected in favour of pure rail transport. This leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions of 85 %, from 2234 to 331 tonnes per weekly journey, with an annual saving of around 1903 tonnes of carbon dioxide. The journey from Zwickau to Modena only takes 48 hours in total - a record time for this type of transport.

Global programme for the future

The lorry is only used on the Modena-Sant'Agata Bolognese route, which accounts for around 21 km of the total distance of 1000 km. The goods train is equipped with 15 wagons and transports up to 115 car bodies with a total weight of around 1500 kg.

This initiative follows the announcement of the global future programme Direzione Cor Tauri, which foresees a complete transition to hybrid technology by 2024 and a new all-electric model in the second half of the decade. Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said: "Our decarbonisation roadmap continues to gather pace and is translating into tangible actions. Following the announcement of our Direzione Cor Tauri programme, we are now presenting a further building block of our holistic strategy, with which we aim to provide concrete answers to today's environmental challenges through product and site-related measures. The implementation of a sustainable logistics chain is a decisive step in this direction."

Thanks to an unprecedented investment of over €1.5 billion over the next 4 years, DirezioneCor Tauri will lead to the decarbonisation of future Lamborghini models and the Sant'Agata Bolognese site, reducing the CO2 emissions of the entire model range by 50 % from 2025. Cor Tauri is based on a holistic vision of the company's sustainability strategy: an approach that encompasses everything from the products to the Sant'Agata Bolognese site, from the production lines to the offices. A 160,000 m2 site that has been certified as CO2-neutral since 2015 and can still claim this seal of approval despite the doubling of the production site in recent years. In addition to reducing CO2 emissions, environmental protection, sustainability of the supply chain, attentive treatment of employees and corporate social responsibility are also integral parts of this strategy.

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.
