LIFTING SUSTAINABILITY
At Manlift, our commitment to sustainability is much more than just words. We have aligned our objectives with the industry-standard Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) giving us a framework to create a bold strategy and to measure its success.
SDGs have been described as ‘the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all’. They cover a wide range of topics, from poverty and education to energy and the environment.
At Manlift we are continuing to embrace Sustainability as an integral part of our business by including social, environmental and economical factors in our operations and decision making. This includes both long term and short term thinking which gives the goal a proactive approach.
