How we drive the shift

Our purpose

Scania’s purpose is to drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system, creating a world of mobility that is better for business, society and the environment.

Transport is the lifeblood of society – but in its current form, it is also unsustainable. As the climate crisis deepens, it is clear that the world urgently needs a new, sustainable transport system: one that continues to grow prosperity and enable connection, while also minimising risks to safety, health and the environment.

 

At Scania, our purpose is to drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system. We believe that delivering on this purpose is how we will create long-term business and societal value. In other words, sustainability is at the core of our strategy.

Scania’s vision for a sustainable transport system

Inclusive


Accessible to all.

Safe


Not only for drivers and transport users but also for other road users, and all others indirectly affected.

Healthy and clean

 

Minimising harm to physical and mental health and well-being.

Decarbonised


Reducing carbon emissions by breaking the dependency on fossil fuels.

Efficient


Both in how it moves goods and people and in its use of resources.

Importantly, the transition must be just. Workers, communities and industries affected by the change should be supported, ensuring that no one is left behind.

 

Scania’s vision for a sustainable transport aligns closely with the definitions of the UN and the World Bank.
