Interview: Manitou Group committed to carbon reduction

The Manitou Group officially presented its corporate social responsibility (CSR) vision through its first virtual On the Way Up! presentation in June 2021, which is set to become an annual event. The French aerial lift and telehandler manufacturer outlined the four pillars of its CSR strategy as ethics and human beings, the circular economy, safety and working conditions and a low-carbon trajectory.

Access International spoke with Manitou’s president and CEO Michel Denis about this latter point following the online event. Complementing that green objective is the company’s New Horizons 2025 roadmap, launched in January 2021, that will see a €460 million investment to help it achieve its goals.
