Balancing the needs of the current generation with the needs of future generations
At Mammoet we want to operate in a safe, efficient and ethical way, protecting the planet and supporting the communities we work in.
As the market leader for engineered heavy lifting and transport, we believe we should be at the forefront of sustainability efforts within our industry. At Mammoet we want to operate in a safe, efficient and ethical way, protecting the planet and supporting the communities we work in, while widening the value we offer to our customers.
Across Mammoet many sustainability initiatives have grown up over the years, often starting at a grass roots level. However, we are now taking steps to advance our sustainability performance in a more impactful way, delivering an integrated approach to sustainability across the business. This integrated way of working has been brought together in a roadmap that directs our sustainability efforts to 2030.
Mammoet's roadmap for sustainability provides targets and focus areas - linked to the UN’s sustainable development goals. Through it we aim to create new partnerships with customers, suppliers and communities on joint sustainability initiatives. The approach builds on existing innovations while exploring new opportunities such as alternative fuel sources and circularity in parts and equipment. Furthermore, it embraces Mammoet's programs for health and safety, diversity, ethics and compliance and corporate social responsibility. It aims to add value to these programs without duplicating our existing work.
Our ambition for sustainability performance improvement
To guide, drive and measure sustainability, in a way that will increase the impact of our sustainability actions across our global business, we have adopted a sustainability roadmap. Our roadmap outlines key focus areas through to 2030.

We will also be developing joint reporting programs with customers and introducing circular strategies with our parts and equipment supply chain.
The following targets are in place for this theme:
These targets are linked to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 17 - Partnerships for the Goals.
Improving our operational performance to maximize the efficient use of resources
Efficient Operations improve our operational performance, maximising the efficient use of resources. This can be applied to every element of our business, from reducing the number of air miles our people and equipment fly, becoming more efficient with energy and water, to reducing waste generation while increasing what we recycle. Efficient Operations means working internally, and also with customers and suppliers, to use resources more sustainably, through sustainable procurement and setting demanding resource efficiency targets.
The targets we have set will drive performance improvements resulting in energy, water, waste and cost savings:
(Compared to 2020 levels)
These targets aim to contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 12 - Responsible consumption and production.
