As one of the world’s largest manufacturers of heavy commercial vehicles, Volvo has a responsibility for reducing the environmental impact of its products. Therefore, environmental care is a corporate value for the Volvo Group.
A long history of proactive environmental programmes has provided us with an opportunity to strengthen both our own and our customers’ competitiveness, while contributing to positive societal development.
A common environmental policy
One of the key features in the control of environmental issues in the Volvo Group is the decision to pursue a joint environmental policy for all parts of the Group.
The environmental policy is the basis for our environmental management systems, strategies and objectives, audits and activities. It steers us in the right direction and makes sure that the right decisions are made in all parts of our operations.
As well as lowering emissions from our factories we also make sure that the companies we work with meet our environmental requirements.
