Abstract

Volkswagen is one of the biggest car manufacturers in Europe and also in the world. The company headquarter is located in Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony, Germany. Volkswagen cars are marketed to all continents of the world, including North America. The case happened in the United States, as in 2015, the United States Environmental Protection Agency or EPA found out that Volkswagen car emission system is against the Control Air Act. Back then, Volkswagen used ‘defeat devices’ to pass the emission test system. The EPA stated that the cars emit forty times more nitrogen oxide (NOx) than the emission standards for public health. Therefore, Volkswagen has to recall most of the cars that have been sold to the public, and the case is called the Volkswagen Scandal. After almost a decade, Volkswagen has done several improvements on the technical and specification aspects of its products, and also improving its policy on the environment. This research is done through qualitative descriptive methods by using library research with analysis done using protectionism concept, the understanding of global value chain, and the green theory. This study will examine the degree of environmental awareness after the scandal, so that the lesson from the case can be discovered.
