It is truly a crisis situation at the moment, as people scramble to find shelter.
Wel, fortunately, the good people at Audi aren’t going to sit back and do nothing while this happens. “We must not and we will not stand passively by when it comes to helping our fellow human beings in this desperate situation.

Through the Audi Volunteers (“Audi Ehrensache”) initiative, employees can now suggest regional projects they would like to implement in cooperation with charitable organizations.
