The Volvo Group has once again qualified for inclusion on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index of the world's foremost companies in sustainable development. Volvo is one of the few Swedish companies included on both the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) and the Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index (DJSI STOXX).

For the seventh consecutive year, Volvo is included on DJSI World, thanks to the group's sustainability efforts relating to financial, environmental and social issues. This means that Volvo is deemed to be among the top ten percent of the world's best companies in terms of combining financial profitability with concern for the environment and social issues.

For the fifth consecutive year, the Volvo Group is also included on DJSI STOXX, an index of the leading European companies in sustainable development.
