Value added statement
The value added statement indicates the added value generated by a company in the past fiscal year as its contribution to the gross domestic product of its home country, and how it is appropriated. The value added generated by the Volkswagen Group in the year under review was down 20.5% year-on-year in particular as a result of the negative special items in connection with the diesel issue. Added value per employee declined to €80.1 thousand (−22.9%) in 2015. Employees in the passive phase of their partial retirement are not included in the calculation.
