The Audi Works Council has announced that it has, for the 47^th time, called on Audi's staff to participate in its traditional Christmas donation.

A total of 99.6% of Audi employees are said to have heeded the call, donating a total of €493,032 ($721,000) to a total of 110 charitable organisations. Audi itself then rounded up the donated amount to a total of €720,000 ($1.05 million).

The annual Christmas donation was first started by former Chairman of the Works Council Fritz Bohm. The employees at Audi are said to have collected more than a total of €20 million since the tradition was started for charitable organisations around Ingolstadt, where Audi is headquartered.
