The minimum requirements can be read here.

To find the requirements for your specific location, see How to get a positive S-Rating?

An incomplete SAQ and inadequate on-site check/Sustainability audit will lead to an insufficient rating. That means that an insufficient rating prevents a new nomination in any of the Volkswagen Group brands. Suppliers are highly encouraged to implement measures to improve their sustainability performance and S-Rating.

To improve the S-rating you need to meet all of our minimum requirements. To improve the score further, you can read the Drive sustainability document and see the points of each question.

The S-Rating has a maximum validity of up to six years.

Sustainability activities that go beyond our sustainability requirements towards business partners are not considered in the S-Rating. However, we encourage and highly appreciate any additional sustainability activities pursued by our suppliers. Also keep in mind that other Sustainability requirements or activities could still be considered in the nomination process, but outside the scope of the S-Rating.
