After leading the industry in automotive safety for decades, Volvo is now broadening its focus to environmental sustainability. The new global campaign, which covers TV, online video, social, digital, OOH and radio and print, aims to reflect the company’s commitment to climate neutrality.

A collapsing glacier provides the answer, highlighting how the biggest threat to safety now comes from climate change.
It’s a clever visual metaphor that reflects the brand’s ambition to become a fully electric car company by 2030 and climate neutral by 2040. Last year one in three of Volvo cars sold in Europe was a rechargeable model.
