Volvo Cars And The Environment - Volvo S40 Owner's Manual

Volvo Cars' environmental philosophy
Environmental care, safety and quality are
the three core values which influence all
operations of the Volvo Car Corporation. We
also believe that our customers share our
consideration for the environment.
Your Volvo complies with strict international
environmental standards and is also manu-
factured in one of the cleanest and most
resource-efficient plants in the world.
Volvo Car Corporation has global ISO certifi-
cation, which includes the environmental
standard (ISO 14001) covering factories,
central functions, as well as several of our
other units. We also set requirements for our
partners so that they work systematically
with environmental issues.
EPI (Environmental Product Information) is
supplied for all Volvo models. Here you can
see how the environment is affected during
the entire lifecycle of the car.
