Growth path

The Volvo Group is on a growth path providing customers with sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions and electric and biofuel products as key catalysts for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, the Volvo Group is working step by step, together with its partners, to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in its operations and the entire value chain. Part of this includes replacing residual energy sources in its operations and placing renewable energy sources using less greenhouse gas, such as wind, solar and hydropower, and facilitating the transition of society towards renewable electricity. Using a variety of renewable sources, this agreement increases the potential for Volvo Group’s continued transition to zero emissions.

“This partnership is another step in continuing to reduce the environmental impact of our industrial activities. The agreement shows our commitment to focus on low carbon investments, use renewable energy sources and take climate action in everything we do,” he said.
