Better Health for All

Porsche's core products, including combustion engine vehicles, contribute to local air quality deterioration and involve chemical substances with potential health risks.

While 27% of new vehicles delivered in 2024 were electrified with 0 g/km CO2 emissions, the majority (73%) were not. This indicates that a significant portion of revenue comes from products with negative health impacts due to emissions. The company supports corporate citizenship projects primarily for young and disadvantaged people and maintains dialogues with works doctors and representatives for disabled employees. Porsche emphasizes open and transparent risk reporting, conducting annual human rights and environmental risk analyses. The company contributes to climate change, air, and water pollution, but also states a commitment to minimizing these impacts. Porsche promotes a diverse and inclusive culture and supports projects for disadvantaged youth. The company promotes employee health and safety, offering free occupational health services and comprehensive training. Porsche promotes employee health through a range of preventive and health promotion measures, including regular medical check-ups. The company prioritizes responsible handling of personal data, with its ISMS certified under ISO/IEC 27001. Porsche's Health Management department provides social counseling for psychosocial strain and offers a preventive 'Porsche Check-up' that includes mental well-being. The company carried out an annual campaign on 'Understanding and avoiding addiction' in 2024.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Porsche AG reported that the remuneration of its employees was in line with reference values for an adequate wage, with the exception of Singapore, where 9.5% of employees were below the local reference value before considering variable pay.

The annual total remuneration of the highest-paid individual was 39.6 times the median annual total remuneration of all employees. Collective bargaining agreements covered 76.8% of all employees in the Porsche AG Group. The company registered 483 recordable accidents at work, resulting in a rate of 1.48 accidents per 200,000 hours worked, and one fatality caused by work-related injuries in the reporting year. The gender pay gap, defined as the difference in average pay levels between female and male employees, stood at 15.4%. The annual employee survey, "Porsche Puls," achieved a score of 75.4 out of 100 points. The total employee turnover rate for the Porsche AG Group was 4.2%. The company received three reports related to discrimination and harassment via its whistleblower system, with two of these cases confirmed, leading to 11 disciplinary actions for discrimination in 2024, including 4 terminations.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Porsche AG conducts annual sustainability audits for 100% of its direct suppliers of production material.

For non-production material, 39.3% of direct suppliers were audited in 2024. The company reported no instances of forced or child labor in its operations or supply chain during the financial year ending December 31, 2023, and has had zero severe cases in the last three years. Porsche AG has established a raw material due diligence management system for 18 selected raw materials and strives to increase transparency in deeper value-added stages of the supply chain, with sustainability requirements passed on to direct suppliers' own suppliers. If violations occur, Porsche takes immediate action, and most corrective actions are closed within 120–180 days. The Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which includes ethical sourcing clauses, is a contractual requirement for direct suppliers. The company utilizes the Volkswagen Group's Raw Material Due Diligence System to assess and reduce environmental and human rights risks for selected high-risk raw materials.

No War, No Weapons

Porsche AG prohibits the sale of its vehicles and services in markets with comprehensive trade restrictions, such as Russia and Belarus, due to international sanctions.

The company bases its entrepreneurial actions on international standards including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and seeks orientation by these principles. Porsche AG developed a sustainability rating in 2018, which incorporates human rights risks and is integrated into the global procurement process, with implementation for Porsche AG beginning in 2019, requiring suppliers to have a positive sustainability rating to be eligible for orders. Suppliers are also required to indicate the origin of metals like tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold upon request, and a study on sustainability risks in the raw-materials sector was prepared in 2018 with the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) and DRIVE Sustainability, emphasizing the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.

Safe & Smart Tech

Porsche has an established Bug Bounty program, also known as the 'Ethical Hacker Program,' which launched as a pilot in 2023 with over 200 security researchers.

The program was continued in 2024 and 2025, with plans for regular future programs. It has been described as 'highly successful' and offers financial rewards for reporting genuine security vulnerabilities, contributing to improved information security.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Porsche AG achieved a waste diversion rate of 68.3% in the reporting year, with 31.7% of waste being non-recycled.

The company produced a total of 36,524 tonnes of waste, of which 8,860 tonnes was hazardous waste. Porsche has had no waste disposal violations in the past three years. The company conducts annual waste audits for all major facilities. Porsche aims for vehicles and components to have a long service life, with a functional unit for life cycle assessment set at 200,000 km. The Macan's high-voltage battery has a comprehensive repair concept allowing for individual module replacement, and the company is expanding remanufacturing processes for defective components. Circular design considerations are applied in some product lines, with a focus on newly developed battery electric vehicle projects. Waste reduction initiatives include using CO₂e-reduced and secondary aluminum, requiring direct suppliers of high-voltage battery cells to use renewable electricity, and investing in battery recycling scale-up cylib, which plans to recycle 30,000 tonnes of end-of-life batteries annually from 2027. Porsche has company-wide waste reduction targets with timelines, and requires direct suppliers of selected components to use aluminum with reduced CO₂e and for high-voltage battery cell suppliers to use electricity from renewable sources.
