Sustainability at Scania
At Scania, sustainability is at the core of our business strategy.
Our strategic work is dependent on understanding our impact, including the risks and opportunities along the life cycle, with the ambition of linking targets and actions with science. We have identified three key sustainability areas that need to permeate all parts of our business: people sustainability, circular business and decarbonisation. Each of these areas are connected and dependent upon each other.
Scania is a global company working on five continents, with customers in more than 100 countries. Every day, our operations and products impact millions of people, both directly and indirectly. For Scania, being a responsible business means understanding and managing these impacts across every stage in our value chain, from the way we source materials all the way through to the end-of-life phase of our products.
Driving customer profitability through sustainable transport solutions and pursuing responsible business are complementary long-term perspectives for continuing being a profitable company.
