The responsible handling of risks at Audi Hungaria is supported by a comprehensive risk management and internal control system (RMS/ICS). The organizational structure of Audi Hungaria's RMS/ICS is based on the internationally recognized COSO Enterprise Risk Management Framework (COSO: Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission). It helps to identify, minimize and, if possible, avoid potential risks.

We are committed to our corporate responsibility for human rights and are guided to a large extent by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. In terms of content, these refer in particular to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (codified in the Civil and Social Covenant), the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the core labour standards of the International Labour Organization (ILO).

As part of the compliance management system, central responsibility for human rights lies with Compliance, which is in constant communication with various functions, specialist departments and Group Coordination. Responsible supply chain management is also a key element in respecting human rights when working with suppliers.

We have anchored our understanding of the fundamental aspects of human rights both in the Audi Hungaria Code of Conduct and in internal guidelines and formulate our expectations of employees and business partners in the following documents, for example: Code of Conduct, Social Charter, Volkswagen Code of Conduct for Business Partners.

Compliance with laws and internal regulations is a top priority at Audi Hungaria. We can only protect our company, our employees and our business partners if we act in accordance with the law and with integrity. Specific indications of potential misconduct can be reported to the Audi Hungaria whistleblower system or to any other Group reporting office.

In accordance with the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG) and the Hungarian ESG law, violations of human rights and environmental regulations can also be reported through the whistleblowing system.

At our company, the Audi Hungaria whistleblowing system serves as the ESG complaint management system. ESG-related and other supplier-related complaints can be submitted through the Audi Hungaria whistleblowing system.
