Sustainability

Creating value through sustainability

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.

Driving sustainability

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.

The actions we will take to deliver environmental, social and commercial benefits, include:

• Creating joint sustainability initiatives by identifying and building partnerships with our customers, suppliers and the communities in which we operate.
• Exploiting and innovating new sustainability opportunities, such as low carbon fuels, energy sources and the circular economy. For example, developing designs for parts and equipment that enable us to reuse secondary and raw materials and help to retain their value and reduce resource consumption.
• Working alongside and complementing our existing programs for health and safety, diversity, ethics and compliance and corporate social responsibility.  
• Improving our efficiency and processes to minimize the impact of our operations and reduce resource use across the business.

 

The roadmap represents our commitment to achieving clear sustainability goals. It encompasses four key themes, each with a set of targets to support them, so we can measure our progress and performance, and strive for continual improvement.

 

The themes are:

 

 

Each of these themes has been linked to one of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs). 

 

 

By delivering against the UN-led sustainable development goals within each theme, we demonstrate the extent of our commitment to shaping a sustainable future for our world. And, in collaborating with our stakeholders and the wider community, we aspire to have a greater impact as part of a global initiative.

 

 

 

 

 

As the market leader in engineered heavy lifting and transport, Mammoet is well placed to drive efforts to improve sustainability in our industry. We see sustainability performance as a fundamental element of operating responsibly. We recognize the need to protect the planet and reduce our carbon footprint. It widens the value we offer to our customers. It also prepares us for the future.

Through the following targets we aspire to deliver continuous improvement in our sustainability performance:

• By 2020 establish an effective, robust monitoring program for environmental impacts and carbon emissions
• By 2025: 100% carbon neutral facilities, 50% carbon neutral lease car fleet, 25% carbon neutral equipment fleet. 
• By 2030: 100% carbon neutral lease car fleet, 50% carbon neutral equipment fleet.
• By 2030, use Big Data to effectively monitor our own environmental footprint and to contribute to the information we can provide to our customers and suppliers for their environmental performance monitoring

UN Sustainable Development Goal 9

These targets aim to build on global efforts under the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.

Sustainable Engagement is about developing and enhancing sustainable and ethical business practices by collaborating and working in partnership with our supply chain, our customers and the communities in which we operate. The roadmap seeks to optimize the impact of responsible activities within our business, coordinating sustainability objectives and initiatives with our stakeholders to maximise their benefits. Through our Sustainable Engagement theme we seek to continue our work with the renewable sector, finding ways to maximize efficiency for customers to make their projects more economically beneficial. 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:

• Continue to support the renewables industry, as an integral part of our service portfolio, in driving boundaries and delivering services at increasing scales
• By 2025 we have developed/joined joint sustainability reporting programs with customers on:
  - Project-wide initiatives to cut emissions and reduce environmental impacts
  - Anti-bribery and corruption and corporate transparency initiatives
• By 2025 we have partnerships in place to work with our suppliers to realize substantial progress in innovation of low carbon equipment and circularity in equipment and parts
• By 2030 low carbon equipment and circularity in equipment and parts
• By 2030 we have recognized reporting procedures in place that demonstrate best practice in sustainability and ethical business across our supply chain and in partnership with our customers

UN Sustainable Development Goal 17

These targets are linked to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 17 - Partnerships for the Goals.

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:

• Reduce CO2 emissions from air travel by 20% per FTE by 2022
• Reduce fuel costs by 20% per FTE by 2022

• 100% of Mammoet’s energy from renewables
• 60% reduction in waste generation
• 40% reduction in water consumption 
• 60% reduction in GHG emissions per FTE

• 80% reduction in waste generation
• 60% reduction in water consumption
• 80% reduction in GHG emissions per FTE

(Compared to 2020 levels)

UN Sustainable Development Goal 12

These targets aim to contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 12 - Responsible consumption and production.
