Environmental Responsibility

At SLP North America Inc., sustainability is part of who we are. Our tagline, “We make your vehicle last longer,” reflects our core belief: extending the life of heavy-duty vehicles is one of the most effective ways to reduce environmental impact.

Manufacturing new heavy vehicles requires significant global resources. By supplying high-quality replacement parts that keep trucks and machines in operation longer, we help reduce the need for new production — lowering material consumption, emissions, and overall environmental footprint.

We are committed to continuous environmental improvement across our operations and support our global organization’s work toward ISO 14001 environmental management standards.

Extending Vehicle Life – The Most Sustainable Choice

Volvo and Scania vehicles are known for their durability and long service life. In many parts of the world, it is not uncommon to see 30–35-year-old vehicles still in daily operation.

When warranties expire and vehicle value declines, cost-effective, high-quality parts are essential to maintain performance, safety, and emissions compliance. Regular service and refurbishment ensure vehicles meet environmental regulations and continue operating efficiently.

SLP supplies reliable replacement parts for both newer and older models — often long after original equipment manufacturers have phased them out. Since our parts typically cost significantly less than OE alternatives, maintaining and extending a vehicle’s service life becomes both economically and environmentally sustainable.

Sustainable Operations

While our core contribution to sustainability lies in extending vehicle life, we also actively work to reduce our operational footprint.

Energy Efficiency

• Transition to energy-efficient LED lighting in offices and warehouse facilities
• Ongoing initiatives to reduce electricity consumption
• Evaluation of renewable energy solutions where applicable

Responsible Packaging

• Continuous reduction of plastic packaging
• Increased use of recyclable materials
• Reuse and recycling of cardboard packaging materials

Paperless Work Environment

• Digital documentation as standard practice
• Printing limited to legal or operational requirements
• Reduced production of printed spare parts catalogs

Responsible Fleet Policy

• Gradual transition toward electric and hybrid company vehicles where infrastructure allows

Environmentally Responsible Sourcing

We require our manufacturing partners to maintain internationally recognized certifications such as:

• ISO 9001
• ISO 14001
• IATF 16949

Safety Data Sheets and environmental documentation are available upon request.

Sustainable Logistics

We prioritize working with transport partners that actively reduce emissions and invest in more sustainable freight solutions.

Continuous Improvement

Environmental responsibility is an ongoing commitment. At SLP North America Inc., we continuously evaluate how we can reduce our environmental impact — from sourcing and logistics to warehousing and office operations — while helping our customers operate more sustainably through extended vehicle life.
