Volvo Car Australia’s headquarters and Training Centre have been awarded Level 3 accreditation by MTA NSW.

Volvo Car Australia’s headquarters and Training Centre have been recognised as having the highest standards of environmental management and innovation by the peak body representing the NSW automotive industry.
The Motor Traders’ Association of New South Wales (MTA NSW) has awarded Volvo Car Australia Level 3 Accreditation under its Green Stamp program, which aims to recognise and reward businesses that reduce their impact on the environment.
It means both the Sydney headquarters and Training Centre go above and beyond to correctly dispose of waste products, conserve energy and water, and have well-developed Environmental Management Plans.

Innovative ideas and technologies, MTA NSW found, have been incorporated into the everyday activities of the people at Volvo Car Australia. Level 3 is the highest level of accreditation that can be obtained under the Green Stamp Accreditation Program, which means Volvo has demonstrated it is continuously striving to reduce its impact on the environment.
Not only that, but many of Volvo’s dealers in Australia have also been awarded Level 3 accreditation.

Volvo Car Australia’s digital advertising generates carbon, but a new initiative offsets the impact - and plants new coral on the Great Barrier Reef. 

Digital advertising for Volvo Car Australia has directly contributed to 420 baby coral being planted and more than 7 tonnes of carbon being offset, as part of a new initiative with the company’s media partners to decarbonise.
Working with media agencies Mindshare Australia and GroupM and their Digital Sustainability Initiative, Volvo has offset the impact of its advertising by working alongside the Great Barrier Reef Foundation to plant baby coral in crucial areas of the reef.

The planet needs healthy oceans to survive and healthy oceans need healthy reefs. Oceans provide 50 per cent of the world’s oxygen, the GBR Foundation says, and their coral reefs support 25 per cent of all marine life and coastal blue carbon ecosystems store carbon dioxide 30 to 50 times faster than rainforests.
“Volvo Car Australia has committed to only selling electric vehicles by 2026, four years ahead of our global all-electric target. The cars are a big piece of the puzzle – but we’re also working through our entire supply chain to decarbonise manufacturing and distribution,” Volvo Car Australia Managing Director Stephen Connor said.

“That includes advertising and marketing – because while the carbon footprint from ads is relatively small compared to making vehicles from raw materials – every action counts. And Australia’s energy mix, still largely fossil fuels, means the ads we run here can be three times more carbon intensive than other parts of the world.”
The baby coral and offsets are from the advertising run in the third quarter of 2022 - from July to September. “And that’s just the start,” Connor said.
