Diess’s remark “is in this context considered inappropriate”, the supervisory board said in an e-mailed statement to Bloomberg. The board “strongly distances itself from this, but at the same time takes note of the immediate apology from Mr Diess.” The expression “Ebit macht frei” was made in an internal management presentation in connection with operating margins from various company brands, Diess said. Within VW, “brands with a higher margins have more freedom within the group to make their own decisions. My comment was made within this context,” he said.
VW’s powerful works council welcomed Diess’s “swift clarification and unequivocal apology” for the remark, adding that remembrance and responsibility are part of the company’s DNA. German government spokesperson Steffen Seibert declined to comment.“The history of the Volkswagen group and the resulting responsibility is an important part of its corporate identity,” the supervisory board said in the statement.
