The Blue Effect

Small changes can have big impacts and as part of an interconnected system, each of us can make a difference. At FORVIA, we call this "The Blue Effect", a movement that drives our actions today to shape a sustainable future: for our planet and the people.

Our vision

The Blue Effect is a transformative and collective call to action that goes beyond a simple program. Sponsored by the leadership team and supported by every employee at FORVIA, it showcases our commitment to sustainability and our desire to work collaboratively with all stakeholders. The philosophy is simple: great things happen when small things change, inspired by the butterfly effect.

Including sustainability in every decision

Patrick Koller
FORVIA CEO

“Climate change impacts every aspect of FORVIA's business – it’s not an add-on but a strategic imperative that demands a company-wide shift. The Blue Effect represents this cultural transformation. From powertrains and materials to design and architecture, tackling climate change requires rapid, bold innovation across our entire industry.”

Our approach

A key pillar of the Blue Effect is reducing our carbon and environmental footprint across all operations and activities. Achieving Net Zero is not just a goal but a necessity for the future of our planet. We’re committed to transparency, setting measurable goals, and regularly reporting progress. From innovative technologies that lower Scope 3 emissions to sustainable practices across our supply chain, offices, and plants, every aspect of the Blue Effect contributes to a more sustainable approach to business.

We’re investing in renewable energy, sustainable materials, and designing products that are lighter, modular, and recyclable. Collaboration is essential, and we encourage employees, stakeholders, and customers to join us in this critical effort.

Beyond decarbonization, our efforts also focus on reducing our impact on waste, water, and biodiversity, while keeping people at the center. We’re committed to making a positive difference for our employees through learning and development, fostering a diverse and inclusive working environment, and for our customers, stakeholders, and the communities we serve, supported by the FORVIA Foundation.


Time to accelerate

Victoria Chanial
EVP Communication, Public Affairs and Sustainability, FORVIA

“We’ve already made significant strides in sustainability, but the challenge now is to unite and accelerate our efforts across all areas – Net Zero, environmental impact, and social responsibility. Our employees and stakeholders play a crucial role in this movement, and we count on them join the Blue Effect.”
