Volvo signed Global Compact in 2001
Volvo's history in addressing sustainable development is based on a long tradition of responsible business conduct and long-term and consistent efforts to improve quality, safety and the environment. To take this a step further, Volvo signed the UN initiative Global Compact in November 2001. In practice, Volvo has applied the principles of the Global Compact for a long time, in human rights, labour issues and environmental care. By signing the Global Compact, Volvo further clarifies its ambition to be a responsible and credible member of the society.
