United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) aim to make the world more sustainable by 2030. Building on our core strengths, we believe that for DAF five SDGs particularly can make the greatest impact for society and ecology. The following are embedded in our DAF Sustainability Framework:
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.
We believe in a balance between economic growth and social factors, to grow in a sustainable way and assure future work.
Build a resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation.
We are constantly enhancing the efficiency of our employees, processes and materials and adopting clean and environmentally sound technologies in our production processes.
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.
We are contributing to this goal by constantly improving our trucks’ safety features and reducing air pollution by investing in innovative technologies.
Ensure responsible consumption and production patterns
We are aware of the value of the materials needed to build a truck. We aim to minimize the volume of required material, increase recycled content and recyclability of our trucks, run a successful remanufacturing program and reduce the residual waste from our production sites.
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impact. We understand the importance of cutting CO2 emissions and are committed to have reduced the CO2 emissions of the trucks we sell by 45% in 2030, as required by the European Union (95% of our CO2 impact is generated by vehicles on the road). Additionally, we aim to have reduced our Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2 emissions by 45% in 2030.
