Transports
Transport of goods
Husqvarna is committed to reducing the environmental impact that is generated when the Group's products are shipped.
The revised environmental policy includes more rigorous criteria for transportation in terms of safety and the environment. Forwarding companies are expected to actively contribute to reducing emissions of carbon dioxide, and to use systems for monitoring their activities. A project has been started for collection of environmental data from the major suppliers of shipping services to Husqvarna. These data include information on emissions of carbon dioxide in connection with all forms of transportation of Group products.
Other transports
Telephone, video and webconferences have reduced the number of business trips by Husqvarna employees. This has resulted in more efficient use of working time, without any direct emissions from travel. Most trips by car, train and plane are monitored annually in terms of environmental impact, including emissions of carbon dioxide.
