With over 250 on-site participants and 6000+ virtual participants and high-level speakers from academic, civil society and Volvo Group, the event was an opportunity to engage all our stakeholders in our transformation. We discussed our strategy, and explained how it will allow us to achieve our objective to become CO2 net zero by 2045, with two intermediate milestones: CO2 neutrality on scopes 1 & 2 by 2025, and -45% on scope 3 by 2030, and position us as a sustainable leader in our industry.

Sustainability Day was part of Horizon by FORVIA, a series of events spanning two days of conferences, workshops, tech demonstrations, and networking with our whole ecosystem. Horizon by FORVIA also included the Supplier Day, dedicated to our suppliers, the Manager Day, for France's managers, and the Innovation Day, dedicated to our clients.
