Abstract
The name Volvo is considered by many to be synonymous with safety. In recent years, the company has undertaken a coordinated effort to expand that image to improve environmental performance as a strong point for their products. This case details the motivation behind that effort, outlines the steps taken to improve Volvo's environmental management, and evaluates its success to date.
