THE ENVIRONMENT The environment Respect for the environment is a prioritised, integral part of all activities at Scania. The guiding principle is to do the right thing from the beginning, with the overall purpose of reducing the impact of products on the environment throughout their life-cycle. Integrated environmental work Environmental work is integrated into Scania’s operations and has the same importance and weight as quality, training and economic issues. All managers have environmental responsibility in their operating area. The environmental organisation works together in a network, where the entire Scania value chain is represented. Common issues are prepared by the Scania Environmental Committee, where environmental coordinators from various operations meet under the leadership of the Quality and Environment department. Through the organisation, there are appointed environmental coordinators with advisory and supportive tasks. Beyond its continuous financial reporting, Scania conducts annual follow-ups of such items as raw material, chemical, energy and water use. Follow-up and auditing of Group-wide environmental targets are also carried out every year. Actions and results are presented in respective sections of the Annual Report and on the Scania website. Scania’s new paintshop in Oskarshamn has a substantially higher capacity, but with a lower environmental impact, than the older paintshops that it replaced.
The highest decision-making level when it comes to environmental issues is the Scania Executive Board, which makes strategic environmental decisions as well as establishing and following up overall environmental matters. Certified environmental management system All of Scanias production facilities are certified according to ISO 14001 international standards. This certification includes development resources, production units and corporate marketing staff units. An updated audit will be implemented during 2003. The task of integrating the sales and service organisation in the environmental management system is continuing. At the end of 2002, 12 local sales and service companies in various European countries were certified. Environment and economics During 2002, Scania’s costs for raw materials, chemicals, energy and water totalled SEK 1,500 m., which was equivalent to about 3 percent of Scania’s sales. Transport expenses amounted to SEK 1,275 m., that is, 3 per cent of sales. Emissions of carbon dioxide from Scania’s production plants totalled 72.3 ktonnes. In relation to Scania’s sales, this represented 1.6 g/SEK. Emissions per vehicle produced rose compared to the year before. This was due to the smaller number of vehicles produced, while the latest environmentally related investments have not yet had time to have an effect on the figures. Efforts to decrease climate-affecting emissions are made with the support of the principle of continuous improvements and Scania’s position on the climate issue, Environmental investments The conventional definition of an environmental investment is an investment carried out only for environmental reasons and aimed at reducing external environmental impact. This definition follows, among other things, the European Commission’s recommendations on voluntary environmental reporting. An investment is usually motivated by several different reasons, of which environmental impact may be one. Scania takes the environment into account when making investments, instead of making corrections afterwards with filters and separate cleaning equipment. With the investment strategy that Scania has chosen, the effect in terms of environmental improvement per krona of spending is good. This means that Scania does not regard large environmental investments according to the conventional definition as goals in themselves. During 2002, Scania’s investments in property, plant and equipment totalled SEK 2,396 m., of which SEK 4.5 m. was classified as environmental investments. A large investment that also is of major positive importance to the environment is the new paintshop at the cab factory in Oskarshamn, Sweden. New topcoat paintshop for cabs Since the beginning of 2002, all cabs for Scania’s production units in Europe have been manufactured Scania’s Environmental Policy As a global manufacturer and distributor of heavy commercial vehicles, engines and related services, Scania is committed to develop products that pollute less and consume less energy, raw materials and chemicals during their life-cycle. In order to achieve this: • we strive to maintain a lead in commercially applicable technologies • we work well within legal demands and promote internationally harmonised, effective environmental requirements • we prevent and continuously reduce the environmental impact through development of products, services and production processes • we take the environmental aspects and objectives into account in our daily work • we have an open and regular communication with our interest groups regarding our environmental work By this we contribute to economical and ecological advantages for our customers and for society. Proactive environmental work is therefore of vital importance to Scania. Environmental work is an integrated element in Scania’s operations. For this reason, environmental reporting is being done in the Annual Report, instead of in a separate Environmental Report. Read more about Scania’s environmental work at: www.scania.com 31
