Why diversity?


"In order to be successful in today's global environment we must employ and retain a broad spectrum of people with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. The best ideas come from these people, working together and benefiting from each other's differences.


We must actively support diversity if we are to attract the best talent, maintain meaningful customer relationships, and work together in the most effective way. Diversity and inclusion are considered a business imperative within the Volvo Group.“

–  Leif Johansson, President and CEO


We believe that diversity is a catalyst for innovation and a source of international competitiveness and profitability.  By incorporating in Volvo high performance teams, the talents and ideas of a workforce of diverse gender, ages, cultures, ethnic backgrounds, races, knowledge, nationalities, experiences etc.

We are seeking to expand our knowledge base, skills and understanding in order to become more responsive to customer needs and to strengthen our market position.
