Joakim Landholm, chief sustainability officer and SVP at SKF, said: “This agreement is a critical step forward in our strategy. It also demonstrates our commitment to the cleantech industry and support for the growth of the renewable energy industry. This shows that we can make a real impact in achieving a sustainable future by working together with others.”
