With the launch of the multi-year commitment to support the UN Road Safety Fund (UNRSF) Autoliv is actively supporting the Global Plan for the Second Decade of Action 2021-2030, which seeks to prevent at least 50% of road traffic deaths and injuries by 2030. This is directly advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number three and helps us realize our aim to save 100,000 lives per year. Read more about our collaboration with the UNRSF in the Autoliv press release from April 12, 2022 and about our ambitious sustainability targets in the Autoliv Sustainability report 2021.
Autoliv’s support goes further and in addition, we have provided one chapter in “THE ROAD AHEAD, 26 voices for Safe and Sustainable Mobility” released on June 20th, 2022, by the United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Road Safety (Special Envoy), Mr. Jean Todt.
Download your copy of “THE ROAD AHEAD, 26 voices for Safe and Sustainable Mobility” eBook and read the contribution from Autoliv and Mikael Bratt, President and CEO, as well as other leading specialists, members of government, public figures, and other promoters of road safety write about tackling the invisible pandemic of traffic crash fatalities and injuries.
Per Ericson, Autoliv’s Executive Vice President Human Resources and Sustainability, represented Autoliv at the European Development Days (EDD) conference in Brussels where the book was officially launched.
1,350,000 people are killed in road traffic accidents every year. Every single one of these deaths represents a family left behind and a story untold. Saving More Lives is our vision and our reason to be. This is bigger than the book. With more than 90 per cent of road traffic fatalities taking place in developing countries, we at Autoliv see this as a call to action to remove the obstacles to the implementation of what we already know is effective. We demonstrate our commitment by joining forces with leading public and private sector actors and by sharing our knowledge, experience and traffic safety research based on real-life data. And global action is of course what we hope this book will inspire.
