Volvo Cars Terima Penilaian Sustainability Performance Tertinggi

Untuk inisiatif hijau, tidak ramai yang dapat menandingi komitmen Volvo Cars

Berkenaan dengan menjual kereta premium, penjenamaan adalah sangat penting. Banyak yang berpendapat penjenamaan adalah hanya wayang, tetapi selalunya, penjenamaan berpunca dari tindakan yang nyata dan dapat diukur. Bagi Volvo Cars, sebahagian besarnya adalah aspek sustainability. Syarikat ini mensasarkan tahun 2040 sebagai tahun ia menjadi benar-benar mesra alam dan merupakan salah satu syarikat kereta pertama yang membuat komitmen sedemikian.

Selama ini mereka telah melakukan banyak perkara untuk mencapai tujuan ini termasuk menyasarkan penggunaan plastik kitar semula sebanyak 25% pada tahun 2025, membuang plastik pakai sekali dari pejabat mereka di seluruh dunia, dan menyokong piagam G7 Ocean Plastic. Mereka juga melangkah lebih jauh dengan membuat kilang pembuatan neutral-iklim pertama, memasang 15,000 panel solar di salah satu lokasi pengeluaran mereka, dan mengurangkan penggunaan tenaga di kilang lain yang mereka kendalikan.

Inilah beberapa inisiatif hijau yang diperjuangkan oleh Volvo Cars. Dan sekarang usaha mereka membuahkan hasil. Menurut EcoVadis, Volvo Cars berada di 1% teratas dari 75,000 syarikat yang dinilai berkaitan dengan Sustainability Performance. Inilah lebih lanjut mengenai EcoVadis dan penilaian keberlanjutan mereka.
