AB Volvo publishes its sustainability report for 2014


The Volvo Group’s strategy for sustainable transport solutions, renewed and more
extensive commitment to the WWF, as well as a new program for social commitment
focused on the Group’s business needs. Today, the Volvo Group publishes its
sustainability report showing the Group’s efforts in responsible enterprise,
social commitment and sustainable development.
The sustainability report is a supplement to the Volvo Group’s annual report.
The report describes how the Volvo Group focuses on financial, social and
environmental sustainable development and is a key platform for dialog with
investors, employees, business partners and other stakeholders.

“Sustainable products and services are key to enabling us to handle the serious
global challenges we face,” says Malin Ripa, Senior Vice President, CSR
Management. “They are also essential if we are to remain competitive in the
future as our customers’ demand for sustainability increase.”

Some of the significant events from the sustainability report for 2014:

  · The positive results from the WWF Climate Savers program, 2009-2014, and a
new and more extensive agreement that is unique to the automotive industry.

  · ElectriCity – an exciting cooperation in which the industry, research and
society develop and test new solutions for sustainable public transport for the
future. June 15 will see the launch in Gothenburg of a completely new bus route
using quiet, exhaust-free buses that will collect passengers indoors and operate
on renewable electricity.

  · As part of the Volvo Group’s social commitment, the cooperation with Sida
and UNSAID to offer apprenticeship program for services technicians will
