Study: Volkswagen Group Has Best Media Image Among Major German Companies


  • Dax 30 Reputation Award presented

  • Special praise for CSR communications




Among Germany’s most important publicly quoted companies, the Volkswagen Group has the best image in the media. This is the result of an analysis carried out by media research Institute Media Tenor International, which presents the Dax 30 Reputation Award. The award is being handed over at the Agenda Setting Conference 2015 in Vienna today.


Over a period of 12 months, the Swiss media experts analyzed about 87,000 reports in 50 international print, radio and TV media. 12 criteria were assessed, ranging from overall visibility and presence of the CEO to the diversity of value drivers. Volkswagen scored heavily in the categories of overall visibility, overall tonality and the diversity of value drivers. Especially with respect to communications on human resources matters and the Group’s many and varied activities in the field of corporate social responsibility, Volkswagen was able to present itself as an agenda setter.


Stephan Grühsem, General Representative of Volkswagen AG and Head of Group Communications, External Relations and Investor Relations, emphasized: “The digitalization of communications has led to completely different opinion shaping processes and customer decisions. One example: in future, more and more people will feel that it is important for their own brand to have a credible commitment to society. The question of whether a company has shouldered its social responsibility is just as important for customers, employees and other stakeholders as product quality or job security. This is why we have established a dedicated team of communications experts especially for CSR topics.”


This approach is supported by the new study “CSR Index 2015″ of the Swiss company InnoVatio Publishing, which forms part of Media Tenor International. Editor Francis Quinn: “It is becoming increasingly important for companies to clearly define what they mean by CSR and how it is being leveraged for their business growth.” Media Tenor founder Roland Schatz: “Nowadays, companies must commit to the latest environmental, social and governance standards and communicate this commitment in a credible way. This has already become part of Volkswagen’s DNA.”

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

T-Prime Makes World Premiere at Beijing

[ See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com ] The SUV segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the world and Volkswagen is showing the world how to do it. With the new T-Prime Concept GTE that was revealed today, the company is showing off all of the technology you can look for in its coming models. The T-Prime is a full-size hybrid SUV that can go up to 31 miles on a charge and gets 87 mpg. The hybrid power station is good for 375 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque and puts the power down with 4MOTION all wheel drive. It’ll get you up to 60 in six seconds. The concept’s real party piece, though, is its interior, which features exclusively touch, gesture, and voice controls. Everything from the infotainment, to the display, and even the gears are controlled by touch-screen. The T-Prime Concept GTE is bigger than the Touareg, and design elements are likely to find their way into all of their SUVs, of which there will be many. Volkswagen is also announcing that they expect to make an S...

Audi Teases the e-tron’s Headlights Ahead of LA Reveal

Audi will unveil its new electric car, the e-tron GT, in just a few short days, but until then, it will do what manufacturers can’t help but do and will tease it mercilessly. The latest teaser images first appeared on Germany’s Bild , and feature some of the EV’s lighting. While the taillights look reasonably familiar, albeit on an interesting, angular surface, the headlights feature a heretofore unseen light shape. The X-shape (or maybe an R-shape, from the right angle) in the middle of the e-tron GT’s headlights set it apart from the rest of the lineup, even the e-tron SUV (whose lights look R8-ish with their angular check-shaped top line.) #Sneak Peek: the #Audi #etron GT concept – stay tuned for the big #world #premiere on November 28. pic.twitter.com/NIg0z6bIwR — AUDI AG (@Audi_Press) November 25, 2018 The long and low sedan will be based on the same platform as the Porsche Taycan, which is said to hit 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and whose batteries will all be stowed...
