The Elevation plan is the result of a wide-ranging consultation with the group’s stakeholders – in particular its employees, clients and partners – to determine their expectations. The pillar “A human and ethical company” is now placed at the centre of the CSR strategy, signalling a desire to closely involve all those who, at their own level, have a role to play in creating sustainable value that benefits everyone. For the entire Manitou Group ecosystem, which is a truly extended enterprise, improving skills, raising awareness and co-construction are the keys to making effective progress in this area. All of this is consistent with the group’s values: passion, commitment and reliability.

Responsible procurement practices
Responsible procurement practices
with committed suppliers
In addition to the Responsible Procurement Charter deployed in 2014 among its suppliers, Manitou Group assesses their CSR performance and identifies opportunities to develop eco-responsible solutions with them. Some of them receive assistance to reach the required standards or to identify major risks upstream. This expertise requires that purchasing teams receive regular training in CSR audits and responsible procurement practices.
