The power of partnerships: Wallenius Wilhelmsen reduces emissions with Volvo Cars and Polestar
Wallenius Wilhelmsen have been closely working with Volvo Cars and Polestar to decarbonize their supply chains by using biofuel through our reduced carbon service.
Recently, we presented certificates to both Volvo Cars and Polestar, officially recognizing their emission reductions.
In 2024, Polestar saved 6,554 tonnes of CO2e and Volvo Cars saved 19,510 tonnes of CO2e compared to the conventional fuel used.
Getting our customers to join us on the path to net-zero is essential. We are appreciate Volvo Cars and Polestar's dedication to reducing emissions in their supply chain. We look forward to continuing the decarbonization efforts with them.Senior Manager Auto Accounts
Lasse Kristoffersen, CEO at Wallenius Wilhelmsen, recently handed over the certificate to Polestar’s CEO, Michael Lohschelle at Polestar’s HQ in Gothenburg.
What is Reduced Carbon Service?
Reduced Carbon Service is Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s insetting-based solution that enables customers to reduce the climate impact of their outbound supply chains. By purchasing and combusting sustainable biofuels, the company generates verified well-to-wake greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions.
These reductions are allocated to customers through a mass-balance approach, decoupling the physical fuel use from specific cargo movements. Customers receive third-party verified declaration confirming their Scope 3 CO₂e reductions.
Pia Synnerman, CCO at Wallenius Wilhelmsen, handed over the certificate to Volvo Cars’ Head of Global Planning and Logistics, Guy Lederer at their HQ, also in Gothenburg.
Using biofuel is a key step in our decarbonization journey and we look forward to keep building on our partnership in this journey with partners like Volvo Cars and Polestar.
