To assist local and provincial government in providing much-needed care to Covid-19 patients in Nelson Mandela Bay, Volkswagen Group South Africa (VWSA) has made its Port Elizabeth plant available as a temporary medical facility. The plant in Neave (Korsten), which is currently not in use, will be converted and used as an overflow medical facility. Once fully operational, the facility could accommodate up to 4 000 beds for patients diagnosed with the Covid-19 virus. This would also include high-acuity patients who require oxygenation. The planned conversion of the 66 000m² building is the result of collaboration formed between VWSA, the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber, the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality and the Eastern Cape Department of Health. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) will provide funding of €5.2 million to support the conversion of the plant as well as the procurement of protective gear (PPE) for staff at regional tertiary hospitals

As of this year, Volkswagen is the partner of the DFB and the German national soccer team. We explain why the people’s sport and Volkswagen are an ideal match – and how soccer will help to promote broad acceptance of e-mobility. Soccer is the people’s sport: it is emotional and brings people together. It is classless, unites all social strata and is popular on every continent. Around 250 million people in over 200 countries participate in the sport, and far more follow the major tournaments. The last World Cup in Russia alone enticed 3.4 billion viewers to their televisions – almost half of the global population. Soccer is therefore ideally suited to Volkswagen. The company has been active worldwide for decades, with sites in Europe, Asia, America and Africa. In 2018, over six million vehicles were produced for over 150 markets and in 14 different countries. Democratization has always been at the heart of Volkswagen’s self-image – as a broadly based people’s brand that makes contemporary

2020. Volkswagen actively supports the workshop series as a partner. To date, 90 participants have benefited from the content of the leadership workshops. The lessons learned have been fed back to around 25 football associations worldwide. Participants from 17 nations and four continents came together in Berlin for a highlight edition to further consolidate the skills acquired. “Primarily, the young professionals are helped to create safe spaces in which they can generate this exchange and learn from each other,” emphasises Ina Hommers, GIZ Director General Client Liaison and Business Development. “This network is also used to develop own projects, which the participants then take back to their countries and regions to promote football and the role of women in football there.” Hommers is particularly impressed by the fact “that as GIZ we, along with the DFB, Volkswagen, and the BMZ, are able to make this type of exchange and this type of tool available to female managers.” Volkswagen makes
