“We have three difficult years behind us due to Covid – years in which it was virtually impossible to hold large-scale events. This is why we are delighted with the Health.Care.Run. format we can finally organize another shared sporting experience for our employees – one that will be held at all sites. The team organizing the event expects up to 20,000 people around the world to take part”. said Dr. Lars Nachbar, Head of Volkswagen Group Health Care and Occupational Safety.
The “ International Health.Care.Run” event finished at the end of June with the last run in Anchieta, Brazil where Volkswagen manufactured.

Not to mention that it’s also for a good cause!” added Vollmer, who himself will be taking part in the run at the Wolfsburg headquarters in mid-June. “I hope that many colleagues around the world will do the same and that we will collectively make a very substantial donation.” said the Volkswagen brand Board of Management member for Production Christian Vollmer
