Jim Rowan Named to 2024 TIME100 Climate Leaders List
The TIME100 Climate List celebrates individuals making measurable, scalable impacts in addressing climate change. This recognition highlights our contribution to creating sustainable business value while tackling the pressing challenges of climate change.
Jim Rowan’s inclusion on the list is a testament to our leadership and Volvo Cars’ ongoing commitment to driving a more sustainable future, protecting people and the planet, and improving lives as we aim to reach net zero emissions and become a circular business.
In his words:
“This recognition reflects the collective efforts of everyone at Volvo Cars. It takes thousands of dedicated people to drive our sustainability agenda forward, and we are united by a common ambition: to reduce the use of fossil fuels and take the actions required to advance the climate agenda."
"We are at a pivotal moment in history, and the shift from fossil fuels to clean energy has never been more urgent. Electrification offers a powerful opportunity to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality, and create more sustainable jobs. However, real progress needs collaboration and everyone can play their part. That includes businesses delivering on their sustainability ambitions, consumers choosing brands wisely, Governments prioritising clean energy through stable and supportive policies, and the financial sector accelerating capital allocation toward sustainable growth. Together, we can create a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future that benefits everyone today and the generations to come.
Lets keep pushing the agenda, today, tomorrow, together!”
