This book explains, compares and assesses the legal implications of Dieselgate within a range of selected jurisdictions and at the EU, international and comparative law level.The book analyses the US EPA-VW $14.7 billion dollar settlement of 2016, one of the largest civil settlements in the history of environmental law. As it shows, the Dieselgate affair has raised a host of issues concerning corporate and social responsibility, tort liability, environmental liability, contractual defective products, warranty, and false environmental claims in a range of jurisdictions. Issues like repurchasing or retrofitting cars from consumers and making direct payments to consumers through car buy-backs and compensation are analysed. Further, the book relates how Dieselgate has also contributed to the discussion about the introduction of more effective collective measures of redress for consumers, such as class actions, in Germany, France, Italy and the UK.The book subsequently reviews the criminal offences Volkswagen is currently confronted with in Germany, France and Italy, i.e. fraud and manipulation of capital markets (by belatedly providing shareholders with essential information relevant for the share value), and, potentially, environmental crimes. It demonstrates how Dieselgate has sparked new debates in Germany, Italy, France and the UK about the need to introduce enterprise liability for organised crimes, lack of compliance and control structures, and intentional violations of the law.Lastly, the book discusses how EU law has sought to respond to Dieselgate and thus investigates the controversial EU Regulation No. 2016/646 introducing a "temporary conformity factor" of 2.1 (equivalent to a 110% increase on the current limit) to be applied for NOx in the new RDE testing cycle, and the works of the EU committee of inquiry into Emissions Measurements in the Automotive Sector (EMIS).

Amidst the lush green hills of rural Pennsylvania, engineer Rowan Klein felt right at home test driving Volkswagen's newest luxury SUV contender prepping for its North American launch. The Touareg's refined diesel purred satisfyingly below as they swooped along the rolling landscape. Mind lost admiring lush summer scenery, Rowan almost missed the test equipment's worrying sensor alerts popping up from the passenger seat alarming him. The scenic route returned sky-high exhaust readings suggesting emissions violating clean air standards nearly forty-fold over federal limits despite brochure promises. Heart sinking as a beloved brand's halo wavered, Rowan wondered how Volkswagen PR wizards spun such wildly divergent pollution realities from the nobler "clean diesel" fiction advertised? Little did he know the creeping discrepancies reflected a swelling corporate fraud soon detonating reputation carnage of historical proportions... This true-life drama captures the dramatic fall of Volkswagen, corporate sustainability icon turned scandalous poster child over its secret emissions deceptions. The German automaker's blind ambition and hubris fostered high stakes ethical compromises from the inception of its lean diesel engines. Attempting an impossible balancing act meeting tough new nitrogen oxide restrictions, exhausted engineers developed defeat devices to cheat tests while claiming breakout efficiency. Despite smoking gun warnings, bean-counting executives pushed ever harder deputizing more staff towards complicity rationalizing "the ends justify the means" but eroding Volkswagen's soul. Until the ugly truth surfaced no longer containable, igniting consumer ire and unprecedented global penalties threatening the company's collapse! This gripping narrative reconstructs the key decisions, intense boardroom pressures and callous disregard bringing a venerated industrial giant to its knees when storytelling replaced honest engineering. It serves as a potent corporate morality tale on dissolved ethics over slippery slopes nurturing scandal. Exploring essential questions around securing sustainability through principled innovation versus compromised incremental "progress" benefitting the few over the many, the drama offers harsh lessons about prioritizing advancement at any societal cost. Shining light where darkness still lingers over accountability and culture change years later, the book contextualizes Volkswagen's profound reputational jeopardy challenges reforming integrity lost steamrolling growth precipitously. Is reconciliation possible after broken trust breathes life into the proverb "What gain a man to lose his soul"?

Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Business Ethics, Corporate Ethics, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: Since 2015 Volkswagen Group has been officially involved in an emission fraud scandal (Dieselgate) and its repairments, which led to be one of the most costly fraud cases in the history of the automotive industry. The self-imposed Dieselgate was an expression of poor work by VW with inadequate decisionmaking by management, unethical corporate governance, and a lack of a duty of responsibility. VW faced three allegations of misconduct. Intended air pollution, breaking the rules and cheating on emissions tests. Therefore, the Dieselgate is used to analyze and explain the assertion “Not doing something can require investments” by referring to the ethical compass (EC). The study is going stepwise to explain the meaning of the assertion by giving a rough understanding of the Dieselgate (Chapter 2), analyzing the Dieselgate with the help of the EC to answer the question whether VW postponed its investments into the future or not (Chapter 3), transferring the analysis results to the general to define the real meaning of the assertion (Chapter 4) and then giving a conclusion (Chapter 5).

"We examine the effects of Volkswagen's emissions scandal ('Dieselgate') on the secondary car market in Israel. Using administrative data on all car transactions in Israel, we measure the scandal's effect on the number and the composition of transactions involving used vehicles made by the Volkswagen Group. We also use data from the leading classified ad website and measure the effect of the scandal on the resale price of used Volkswagen vehicles. According to our findings, the Volkswagen emissions scandal had a statistically significant negative effect on the number of transactions involving vehicles made by Volkswagen (nearly -18.0%) and on their resale price (nearly -6.0%). We also find that the reduction in the number of transactions was driven mostly by private sellers and that non-private sellers barely shied away from the market. We discuss potential explanations for these findings."--Abstract.

A shocking exposé of Volkswagen’s fraud by the New York Times reporter who covered the scandal. Updated with a New Afterword by the Author. When news of Volkswagen’s clean diesel fraud first broke in September 2015, it sent shockwaves around the world. Overnight, the company long associated with quality, reliability and trust became a universal symbol of greed and deception. Consumers were outraged, investors panicked, the company embarrassed and facing bankruptcy. As lawsuits and criminal investigations piled up, by August 2016 VW had settled with American regulators and car-owners for $15 billion, with additional fines and claims still looming. In Faster, Higher, Farther, Jack Ewing rips the lid off the scandal. He describes VW’s rise from “the people’s car” during the Nazi era to one of Germany’s most prestigious and important global brands, touted for being “green.” He paints vivid portraits of Volkswagen chairman Ferdinand Piëch and chief executive Martin Winterkorn, arguing that their unremitting ambition drove employees, working feverishly in pursuit of impossible sales targets, to illegal methods. With unprecedented access to key players and a ringside seat during the course of the legal proceedings, Faster, Higher, Farther reveals how the succeed-at-all-costs culture prevalent in modern boardrooms led to one of corporate history’s farthest-reaching cases of fraud—with potentially devastating consequences. As the future of one of the world’s biggest companies remains uncertain, this is the extraordinary story of Volkswagen’s downfall.

Environmental crimes are primarily driven by financial motives. The combined financial value of illicit trade in protected wildlife, illegal logging and waste trafficking is estimated to come directly after counterfeiting, the narcotic drugs trade and illegal gambling. Logically, the proceeds of these crimes must also be laundered. Goods, however, are not the only money maker for environmental criminals. Corporations may also try to ‘save’ costs by not complying with environmental regulations and thus commit crimes of omission rather than commission. From an enforcement and compliance perspective focusing on the proceeds of crime may therefore be an effective strategy. This book brings together different perspectives on the financial aspects of environmental crime and harm from a green criminological viewpoint. It addresses the role of economic systems, the value of environmental performance for corporations, money laundering in the context of environmental crime, financial investigation and questions of regulation and penalties. Discussing these topics from the view of green criminology, sociology and governance, this book will be of great interest to all those concerned about the financial dimensions of crime and the environment.

Managing Business Ethics: Making Ethical Decisions teaches students how to navigate ethical issues they will encounter using the weight-of-reasons approach applied throughout the book. This decision-making framework’s goal is not to faithfully apply particular philosophical perspectives on what is right, but rather to solve ethical problems. The authors underscore the need for employees at all levels to carefully consider the ethical implications of their actions using this approach and it can be applied at the individual, organizational, and stakeholder levels. Chapters provide a case to walk through application of the framework and mini-cases allow students to practice applying this framework on their own. A wide range of real-world case studies are presented, featuring companies such as Facebook, Google, Wells Fargo, Volkswagen, and Amazon. This practical, down-to-earth text also delves into topics not covered extensively by other books such as slow and fast thinking, the inherent conflict between the individual and organization, conformity, and the difficulties of speaking truth to power. Students are offered ample opportunity to engage in thoughtful reflection, discussion, and application as they grapple with ethical issues big and small. Included with this title: The password-protected Instructor Resource Site (formally known as SAGE Edge) offers access to all text-specific resources, including a test bank and editable, chapter-specific PowerPoint® slides.

As environmental legislation grows more stringent in response to the escalating climate crisis, some of the world’s largest corporations have adopted fraudulent mechanisms to keep their margins of profit, and achieve improper competitive advantage. Such mechanisms can lead to problems in the supply chain, a decrease in market value, diminished trust in brands, increased surveillance of companies, as well as damage to the environment. This book offers a holistic view of the nature and consequences of environmental fraud, bringing together practical examples, empirical research data, and management theory. It will be of interest to academics working in the fields of sustainability management, business ethics, and corporate social and environmental responsibility.
