2 September 2025 – Global automotive company Volvo Cars has officially joined Corporate Leaders Group Europe. This collaboration strengthens the Group’s collective voice in advocating for effective climate and industrial policy at the European level, particularly at this pivotal moment for the transformation of key industrial sectors.
Ursula woodburn, Director of Corporate Leaders Group Europe said:
“I am delighted to welcome Volvo Cars to Corporate Leaders Group Europe. Tackling the decarbonisation of the automobile sector is essential towards achieving a competitive, resilient and sustainable Europe, and we are very pleased to bring this sector's perspective into CLG Europe at this critical moment for the transformation of European industry. Volvo Cars is walking the talk by transitioning to becoming a fully electric car manufacturer and working with many partners in their value chain to reduce their material footprint. They are also investing in Europe, recently transforming the Volvo Car Factory in Ghent, to enable the production of the fully electric EX30. We are looking forward to working with them to support the shift to climate neutral and nature positive economies for all in Europe and beyond.”
Vanessa Butani, Head of Global Sustainability, Volvo Cars said:
"Sustainability is at the heart of what we do at Volvo Cars. Electrification is one of the most powerful tools we have to reduce emissions, improve public health, and build a more resilient society. But it’s also a growth opportunity. It drives innovation, creates green jobs, and supports the development of a more competitive and future-proof European economy. To fully realise EU's sustainable growth potential, we need the wider ecosystem onboard. That’s why our membership in CLG Europe is so important. It strengthens our voice in the policy dialogue and enables us to accelerate the transition toward sustainable growth together with like-minded leaders across Europe."
This new partnership demonstrates how leading businesses are integrating sustainability into their strategy, enhancing resilience, and contributing to the development of a competitive and sustainable European economy.
