We can do our part!
As part of its commitment to tackle ongoing environmental challenges, Valeo’s Aftermarket division has created the I Care 4 the Planet program focusing on three areas to reduce its environmental impact:
- Contribute to limit CO2 emissions with automotive decarbonization and process optimisation
- Promote circular economy with reman and repair (waste management)
- Innovate with Eco-design
Three Key Areas of Focus
