In 2022, Haulotte placed sustainable development at the heart of its new strategic plan for 2025.
This line of action is not defined by the group’s EXCOM, but was prepared by committed employees from various group departments, now forming a CSR committee in charge of managing this strategic line of action for us.
And when I talk about committed employees, I mean employees with a strong interest in social and environmental issues, who in just a few months helped deliver initial results, as explained in this document, and build a genuine CSR approach. Thus, multiple short, medium and long-term actions have already been decided upon, in terms of the necessary carbon intensity reduction of our industry, or the group’s response to the expectations of civil society on matters of inclusion and solidarity.
This approach was built around the UN Sustainable Development Goals. These SDGs are a common language organized around 17 global goals. The group strives to integrate these SDGs to contribute to the joint effort towards a better, more sustainable world. 7 of these goals were selected as priorities by all group employees.
Lastly, since early 2022, our CSR approach has been extremely popular with our customers, and we very much want to work with them and all our stakeholders. We are absolutely convinced that collaboration on these issues is a must, as they must be scrutinized in conjunction with our entire ecosystem.
