The recent scandal around Volkswagen cheating on nitrogen oxide emissions has raised numerous reactions in media, society and industry as Volkswagen Group violated Clean Air Act. Detailed inspections of Volkswagen Group’s products have started all over the world, and particularly in the United States. The scandal sequenced in Volkswagen Group CEO resigning as well as suspending of the head of the brand development, Audi research and development head, and Porche research and development head. The studies conducted on other car companies that produce popular car brands also showed the highest levels of emissions than proclaimed by the companies initially (Carrington par.7). There also appeared certain doubts about the reliability of the data from software-controlled machinery, causing the start of the initiatives to make the software source code available to a broad public (Dwyer par. 13). By cheating on the emissions rate, Volkswagen group has broken its Code of Conduct losing both the worldwide respect and undermined the consumer’s trust. Reporting Issue The Volkswagen Group has violated its proclamation on reporting issue stating, “All of our reports, records, and statements are accurate, timely, comprehensible, comprehensive, and true” (“The Volkswagen Group Code of Conduct” 17). As the sources state the problems with the emissions were reported by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in 2011 (Weiss et al. 37). The study research of the level of emissions from cars started in the United States in 2014, as the United States regulations are more strict than European. According to the results, the EPA issued a Notice of Violation on Volkswagen Group, stating that there are excessive emissions produced by the cars they make. The Volkswagen group presented the instrument that measured the level of vehicle emissions, and the criteria it measured was similar to EPA testing protocols. Since EPA’s results showed violations, it is obvious that Volkswagen Group was aware of them, but provided the wrong official information, thus violating its Code of Conduct statement. Environment, Health and Safety Issue The Volkswagen Group has violated its proclamation on environment, health and safety issue stating that they are accountable for constant improvement of their production’s environmental friendliness, implementing ecologically efficient technologies in all countries of the world (“The Volkswagen Group Code of Conduct” 19). Producing cars that cause exceeded levels of nitrogen oxide is not an environmentally friendly technology, especially today when the vast amount of international acts, laws, and protocols regulate the level of all types of harmful emissions. Thus, the continuation of the statement that says that they implement the ecologically efficient technologies “over the entire lifecycle of our products” (“The Volkswagen Group Code of Conduct” 19) is true as the Group announced the plans for recalling the problematic vehicle and replacing engines or providing a free repair as well as reviewing all the company’s diesel strategy. Compliance with Law Issue The Volkswagen Group followed its proclamation on Compliance with Law issue stating that each of the employees, who violated st
