Volvo Car Corporation and the environment
Volvo Cars’ environmental philosophy
Environmental care, safety and quality are
the three core values which influence all op-
erations of the Volvo Car Corporation. We
also believe that our customers share our
consideration for the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also manu-
factured in one of the cleanest and most re-
source-efficient plants in the world. Volvo
Car Corporation has global certification to
the ISO 14001 environmental standard. This
standard supports the work within the area of
the environment.
EPI (Environmental Product Information) is
supplied for all Volvo models. There you can
see how the car’s lifecycle affects the envi-
ronment.

Fuel consumption
Volvo cars have competitive fuel consump-
tion in each of their respective classes. Low-
er fuel consumption generally results in lower
emission of the greenhouse gas, carbon
dioxide.
It is possible for the driver to influence fuel
consumption. For more information read un-
der the heading, Reducing environmental im-
pact, on page 9.
