Ambition - Manitou Group

Performance powered by sustainability

Improving working conditions, safety and performance worldwide, while protecting people and their environment: such is the mission of Manitou Group.

Conscious that its core business - handling, powered access and earthmoving - lies at the centre heart of the major challenges of society, the group has decided to renew its CSR ambitions and actions in the 2030 "CSR Lens" roadmap.

Supported by the top echelons of the company, it is based on four axis and 11 of the 17 sustainable development goals of the United Nations.

It builds on the actions that the group has been carrying out for more than 10 years and capitalizes on the solid achievements of previous plans, particularly in terms of product decarbonation, technological innovation, and the commitment of the value chain and employees.

Anchored at the heart of the new global LIFT strategy, Manitou Group's ambition is to achieve performance powered by sustainability.

This philosophy is also conveyed by the group’s signature, “Set the world in motion”, indicating the desire to always do better, become the actors of change and contribute to the world in motion.

To carry out our mission, we rely on internal policies such as :

Four axis to structure the group’s CSR commitments

01

CLIMATE COMMITMENT
02

HUMAN POTENTIAL
03

RESOURCE USE & CIRCULAR ECONOMY
04

TRUST & COLLABORATION

Manitou Group addresses the climate emergency while securing a competitive advantage. The group focuses on reducing emissions across the product lifecycle and enhancing business resilience in the face of climate change.

Manitou Group recognizes that its transformation depends on the men and women that composed the company. These objectives address evolving employee expectations regarding talent retention.

The group aims to accelerate the transition to a circular economy across all operations and throughout the value chain.

This axis serves as the foundation for the success of the other three axis. That global success requires shared responsibility and collective performance.

Commitments:

Accelerate range electrification and energy optimization to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for users, and provide transparent impact data. Already committed to a SBTi decarbonation pathway, the group is pursuing its ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in scopes 1, 2, and 3.

Commitments:

Support career growth and employability, and maintain a stimulating and safe work environment that protects both physical and mental health.

Commitments:

Integrate circular principles into the entire product lifecycle from initial design to end-of-life management to reduce dependence on linear economic models. Reduce pressure on resources through key initiatives including refurbishing, retrofitting and remanufacturing machines in partnership with dealers to support end of life of products.

Commitments:
Build a responsible value chain by co-constructing sustainable solutions through partnerships and share CSR standards with partners to ensure industry-wide resilience.
