The partnership is coordinated by CSR Europe, a business network for corporate social responsibility, and counts 10 members: VW, Toyota Motor Europe, Ford, Daimler (parent of Mercedes-Benz and Smart), BMW, Honda, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo Cars, and truckmakers Scania (a VW Group truck brand) and Volvo Group.
