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.

In 2021 we reviewed the range of initiatives we had implemented and our progress against the set of targets agreed in 2018. Following our experience in rolling out and monitoring the first roadmap we have developed a greater understanding of Mammoet’s impacts and the opportunities for improving our sustainability performance. In light of changes to our market and Mammoet’s structure, the Board decided to adopt a more focused set of targets for our sustainability roadmap, to direct our efforts in a way that secures the most impact. These are set out in the following roadmap.

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:

• 30% of the fleet’s operational hours to be carbon neutral by 2030
• By 2025, use Big Data to monitor our environmental performance

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 maximize 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:

• Enable the energy transition and grow our market share through:
  • Supporting the renewables industry
  • Supporting the decarbonization of the heavy industries
• Drive decarbonization and circularity in our equipment fleet in partnership with suppliers

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 becoming more efficient with energy and fuel use 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 quality management, sustainable procurement and setting demanding resource efficiency targets.

The targets we have set will drive performance improvements resulting in a reduction in our carbon footprint and minimizing our impacts on the planet:

• 30% reduction in total carbon emissions by 2030 (compared to 2018 levels)
• Waste reduction initiatives implemented in all branches by 2025
• Roll out of quality management tool by 2023

UN Sustainable Development Goal 13

These targets aim to contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 13 – Climate Action.

Being a Responsible Employer means we conduct business in a safe, fair and ethical way, providing access to economic opportunities and skills for all members of society, including opportunities for disadvantaged communities. As a global organization, we bring training, skills and economic opportunities to the communities in which we operate. At the forefront of Mammoet’s daily operations is our commitment to safety. It is our priority to see that everyone returns home safe at the end of every day. We also aim to be a diverse and inclusive employer with programs designed to create a safe and respectful workplace while providing equal opportunities for all our employees. And we seek to work in a transparent and ethical way, actively participating in anti-corruption initiatives, promoting fair business practices and working with our partners to ensure worker welfare.

 Our targets demonstrate our commitment to being a Responsible Employer:

• 25% of women in senior leadership positions
• Zero fatalities or life changing injuries due to the failure of our plant, equipment or safety management systems by 2030
• By 2023 establish a set of standards for worker welfare

UN Sustainable Development Goal 8
