Volvo drivers have always been grounded in strong values related to family, safety and the environment. Customers who purchase from us use their purchasing power to make a strong statement about their values and commitments. Those commitments were recognized by the Ethisphere Institute, which named Volvo Car Group to its 2017 list of the World’s Most Ethical Companies®.
There has been a cultural sea change in recent years for consumers to make informed decisions and align their spending habits by buying from brands that reflect their own values. Citizens know they can make a difference in the world through their actions and financial decisions. A vehicle purchase is a substantial one, and buying a Volvo casts a vote for ethical business practices and helps promote business integrity globally.
The Ethisphere® Institute, based in Scottsdale, Arizona, is the global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices. In their World’s Most Ethical Companies award for 2017, Volvo Cars was lauded along with 124 other companies. We were one of only four companies recognized in the automotive sector. The institute considers five key categories in their scoring selections:
· 35% Ethics and compliance
· 20% Corporate citizenship and responsibility
· 20% Culture of ethics
· 15% Governance
· 10% Leadership, innovation and reputation
“Volvo Cars embraces policies of diversity and inclusion, is committed to ethical leadership and demonstrates the values of a true global citizen,” said Timothy Erblich, Ethisphere’s Chief Executive Officer.
In acknowledging the company’s selection, Hakan Samuelsson, President and CEO of Volvo Cars said, “Responsible business is a fundamental part of Volvo Cars’ heritage, and engrained in our corporate culture. An ethical approach is not just the right thing to do, but it brings financial value too.” For more details on the award, see this Volvo news release.
