Moving business and society forward
Societal Engagement
Volvo Group’s approach to societal engagement consists of shared value activities, disaster relief, donations and community support. It involves driving Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, establishing strategic partnerships and encouraging employee participation in volunteering opportunities.
For the Volvo Group, creating shared value involves moving both our business and society forward. We enhance our competitiveness while simultaneously advancing the economic, environmental and social conditions of the societies in which we operate. The highest potential for mutual benefit is where our business significantly interacts with society. Therefore, our selected focus areas are:
- Education and skills development
- Traffic and worksite safety
- Environmental sustainability
Within these areas we carefully select activities connected to our vision, business goals and core competencies as well as to local societal needs.
Improving traffic and worksite safety
Volvo Group runs traffic and site safety programs for drivers and operators all over the world.
Our traffic safety campaign Stop, Look, Wave focuses on professional drivers, school children and local communities. The program promotes safety awareness for children in their immediate environment, with the help of specific training kits.
Similar to Stop Look Wave, the Volvo Truck’s See and Be Seen programme aims to improve understanding of how unprotected road users and trucks can interact in traffic. The initiative focuses specifically on cyclists and schoolchildren from the age of 12 years.
