VOLVO CE has announced further progress on its sustainability journey, with three more sites achieving landfill-free status.
The facilities in Belley, France, and Shanghai and Jinan in China are diverting all waste from landfill through waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. Volvo CE aims for all its sites to achieve landfill-free status by the end of 2025.
The sites in Shanghai and Belley, which produce crawler and compact excavators respectively, and the Jinan Technology Center join facilities in Changwon in Korea, Pederneiras in Brazil, Shippensburg in USA, and Hallsberg and Braås in Sweden, in reaching this milestone.
Certification has been awarded following an audit by the Volvo Group Environmental Coordination Group.
Niklas Nillroth, head of sustainability at Volvo CE, said, “Across our sites, we are continuing to improve and transform our operations making them more efficient and sustainable and reducing our carbon footprint. Our target is to ensure all sites achieve landfill-free status by the end of 2025, addressing the final 0.23% of waste still sent to landfill. This milestone exemplifies our dedication to lead by example. We share our progress to inspire others to join us and cultivate innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.”
