Become a Volvo Group supply chain partner

The Volvo Group aims to develop its suppliers as partners. We do this by selecting high performing supply chain partner that deliver the best possible products and superior services that add real business value to the Volvo Group, on both a global and regional basis. 

To achieve this we constantly monitor markets and evaluate new potential suppliers to find the most competitive ones in terms of quality, delivery, cost and feature.

Quality is more than quality assurance as the supplier must take responsibility for the effect on the environment and also take a holistic view of material handling and information exchange. Our suppliers need to actively contribute to reducing environmental impact and deploy ethical standards throughout the supply chain.
