For the eighth year, VWSA received the SJM Flex Environmental Award. This acknowledges an ISO 14001-accredited exporter who pursues excellence in environmental management. VWSA also won Best Exporter in the OEM category.
āTo win these awards under normal circumstances is an honour; to win during a pandemic that temporarily halted exports and brought challenges to all business, is an absolute privilege,ā said Dr Robert Cisek, VWSA’s chairperson and managing director. āWe are committed to manufacturing quality vehicles without compromising on our responsibility of environmental protection, and these awards are recognition that we are on the right path in this regard.ā
In 2020 VWSA exported a total of 81 935 Polos and 1 321 588 components, including engines, to export customers across the world.
