The transformation towards a sustainable future impacts Cargotec’s business, and our business also impacts the world around us in many ways. These impacts are the foundation of Cargotec’s sustainability work.

We also support all 17 of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (more information here).
These commitments are reflected in the Cargotec Code of Conduct that describes the general requirements, guidelines, ethical principles and defines our way of working. The practical implementation of the Code of Conduct is ensured through policies (such as our Sustainability policy), processes and training.
