Manitou Group joins the FRET 21 charter

Manitou Group announces its membership of the FRET 21 charter, and confirms its ambition to better integrate the impact of transport into its sustainable development strategy, with the objective of reducing by 8% its GHGs (Greenhouse Gases) generated by road transport by 2025.

Joining FRET 21 is recognition of the work carried out upstream by all our teams and transport service providers. To achieve our objectives, we are going to optimize the pooling of spare parts and machinery loads, while reducing consumption linked to pre- and post-shipments, by targeting ports close to our French sites, such as Montoir-de-Bretagne (44). We are also focusing on the use of alternative fuels when selecting our service providers.
