On this episode of ‘A Lot to Learn’, our hosts Braden Parker and Mike Reid talk to Volvo Cars Canada’s Managing Director, Matt Girgis about the future of electric vehicles, sustainability, and more. Casca recently teamed up with Volvo Cars Canada to co-design a limited edition shoe inspired by their XC40 Recharge. It was released for this year’s World Car Free Day; an event which was established to encourage people all over the world to consider their personal impact on air pollution and the environment.

Volvo’s ethos is rooted in safety; they were the first car company to introduce the 3 point seat belt system, and their mission to create safe automotives has become rooted in their DNA. But with the effects of climate change so apparent in today’s world (natural disasters, rising temperatures), safety has taken on a whole new meaning for Volvo. It’s no longer strictly about the people in their cars but about the planet and people all over the world.

Enjoy the episode, and as always, please feel free to reach out if you have any comments or questions. We all have a lot to learn.
