Trade and industry will play a major role in addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The standards for responsible, sustainable business practices will be higher, and will raise questions about how to quantify value creation from a financial, social and environmental perspective.
Volvo Group and KPMG have come together in a joint effort to quantify and put a monetary value on the environmental and socio-economic value created by Volvo’s electric buses. The project aimed to show municipal authorities and Volvo’s customers how socio-economic value, not visible in conventional investment calculations, can be created. The findings of the project are designed to inform public debate on the issues involved and also provide guidance to investors, legislators and other decision-makers on how sustainability impacts core business activities. The findings also illustrate that external effects should be taken into consideration.
We would like to invite you to attend a seminar where we will present the methodology and results from a True Value Analysis on an electric bus. Together, we will also explore the future challenges for trade and industry, and discuss how the creation of true value can be analysed, quantified and reported externally.
We hope you can join us!
