Volvo’s carbon targets get third-party nod

22/09/2020
Volvo Cars has received approval for its climate action plan from the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTI), a non-profit organisation.

The company will tackle carbon emissions in its manufacturing network and wider operations, its supply chain and through recycling and reuse of materials.

The car group aims to become “climate neutral” by 2040.

“As a mobility provider, we are part of the problem of climate change, but we can also be part of the solution,” said Hanna Fager, head of corporate functions at Volvo Cars. “We have a responsibility to act. That is why carbon reduction has the highest priority within our company. Having our climate ambitions validated by SBTI gives us valuable reassurance that we are on the right track.”
