Breaking Trust: The Volkswagen

Emissions Scandal
Trust vs Betrayal

 Promise: Volkswagen marketed their diesel cars as


environmentally friendly, claiming they were fuel-
efficient and had low emissions.

 Deception: Secret software was installed in at least 11


million vehicles, which manipulated emissions tests to
make the cars appear compliant when in reality, they
emitted pollutants up to 40 times higher than legal
limits.
When Oversight Fails

 Lack of Oversight: Volkswagen’s supervisory board


failed to monitor or challenge management’s actions,
allowing the scandal to unfold.
 Weak Governance: The board, filled with former
executives or family members, didn’t provide
independent oversight. Their lack of technical
expertise and accountability contributed to the failure.
When Scandals Unfold: The Price
of Wrongdoing
 Financial Impact: Volkswagen faced heavy fines,
totaling more than €7 billion in penalties and lawsuits.

 Reputation Damage: The scandal significantly damaged


the company’s reputation, eroding consumer trust and
hurting sales.

 Loss of Public Trust: Consumers, shareholders, and the


general public lost trust in Volkswagen, which had prided
itself on its environmental image.
Restoring Trust: Volkswagen’s
Journey After the Scandal

 Appoint Independent Directors: Appointing


external, independent directors can ensure better
oversight of corporate decisions.
 Implement Stronger Risk Management:
Enhancing the company’s internal risk management
systems will prevent future misconduct and better
handle corporate responsibility.
 Commit to Transparency: Open communication
with the public, consumers, and shareholders about
their practices is essential to regain trust.
Thank You.
