The Swedish electric brand Polestar has set itself the goal of developing a "climate-neutral car" by 2030. "So far, no other manufacturer has taken on the challenge of building a truly climate-neutral car without relying on third-party offset measures," says Fredrika Klarén, who leads the sustainability department at Polestar, in an interview with LOGISTIK HEUTE.

It is common, according to Klarén, "for companies to offset their CO2 emissions by, for example, planting trees to achieve their goals. Our goal is to eliminate all emissions already in the supply chain. Instead of shifting the problem to others, we want to do the work ourselves and use technological innovations to improve our processes."

In an interview with LOGISTIK HEUTE, the expert explains why transparency in the supply chain is an indispensable cornerstone of the ambitious sustainability strategy of the automotive company. Additionally, Fredrika Klarén reports what goals Polestar aims to achieve through its collaboration with the blockchain provider Circulor. You can read the full interview in LOGISTIK HEUTE 9/2021. The issue was published on September 15.
