The Volvo Car Corporation has just released its 2003 Corporate Citizenship
Report – the fourth the company has published.
“The report is intended to be an informative, open and hopefully interesting
means of accounting for our impact on society – both good and not so good,” says
Olof Drakenberg, Corporate Citizenship Coordinator at Volvo Cars.
The report includes a scorecard of 16 key performance indicators to provide a
practical overview of the company’s performance in significant areas such as
employee satisfaction, work-related injuries, women in management, car sales,
sales of cars built to the Euro 4/ULEV standards, carbon dioxide and solvent
emissions arising from the company’s manufacturing operations, proportion of
staff working in units with ISO 14001 certification, the proportion of suppliers
with ISO 14001 certification, customer satisfaction, employee sick-leave, the
rate of reduction in average carbon dioxide emissions from Volvo cars, and sales
of Bi-Fuel models.
The fact that Volvo Cars is not listed separately on the stock exchange and
that its financial results are reported with those of Ford Motor Company means
that the annual Corporate Citizenship Report is the most comprehensive printed
report on the company’s operations each year.
The 2003 Report and the related web-based data have been compiled in
accordance with the guidelines in GRI 2002, the Global Reporting Initiative, to
provide a balanced and accurate account of the company’s financial,
environmental and social progress.
