Press release from the Volvo Environment Prize Foundation, Oct 30, 2023 The vast Amazon region is central to the global debate on creating a stable climate and maintaining biodiversity. But we cannot deal with sustainability in Amazonia if we do not confront the rural and urban realities in the region of poverty, violence, and the need for economic development. That is the message from Eduardo Brondizio, a Brazilian-born Anthropologist Professor at Indiana University, Bloomington, USA, who is the Volvo Environment Prize laureate in 2023.

Volvo Group’s collaboration with H2 Green Steel for near zero emission steel is another step forward on the continued journey towards a net zero GHG emission value chain by 2040.  Under the long-term agreement Volvo Group will purchase near zero emission steel from H2 Green Steel’s new plant in Boden in Northern Sweden. Start of production is planned for end of 2025 with deliveries to Volvo Group starting mid-2026. 

Volvo Group has signed an agreement to collaborate with Heidelberg Materials, one of the largest building materials companies in the world. The aim is to reduce carbon emissions in the construction sector by jointly investigating and developing how loading and hauling needs can be solved with the help of electrified vehicles and related services.
