Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages
SDG 3 – Good health and well-being
The transport industry is a major contributor to air pollution in our cities, causing premature deaths and diseases. Over a million people are killed in road traffic accidents annually.
Local emissions of particulates and other types of emission such as noise have been linked to a series of adverse health effects.Yet, our need for transports is constantly growing – a challenge that must be addressed. Other types of emissions such as noise can also contribute to bad health.
Scania has taken part in trials of night time deliveries in different cities such as Stockholm to reduce delivery times, resulting in lower emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter. Furthermore, transport should be safe not only for drivers and transport users but also all other road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and other road vehicles. The concept of safety should extend beyond physical safety and if a transport solution is either unsafe for certain groups to use, or perceived to be so, it is not accessible to all.
Scania is also active throughout the world and engages in supporting local communities. In South Africa, for example, Scania partners with the Swedish Workplace HIV/AIDS programme (SWHAP) in a regional approach to HIV/AIDS across Southern Africa. Prevention, treatment and care strategies are aimed at protecting employee rights, creating a productive working environment and maintaining healthy workforces for the companies involved.
