"Care for the environment has been a corporate value with the Volvo Group since the UN climate conference 1972 in Stockholm. It expresses our commitment to improve energy and resource efficiency and to reduce emissions in all aspects of our business, with a special focus on the use of our products in society. Being active in the transport sector we are of course a part of the global climate problem but also a part of the solution. This is why we see the 3C being such an important initiative where we together with a number of other global companies can take part in making a global road map towards a low-emitting society a reality".
