Sustainability

A greener value chain

From our early beginning in 1975, focusing on traceability through the value chain has been a common denominator for all Maritech solutions and projects. Today, this foundation is more important than ever, as it is enabling our customers to optimize their processes and contribute to a greener, more efficient value chain.

As a leading technology company, we are in a position where we see it as our duty, as well as a major opportunity, to help our customers to do more sustainable business. Examples are optimization of transport capacity, sensor data from IoT, and improved production planning resulting in reduced waste and resource consumption. Our analytics tools provide valuable insights, and our traceability solutions ensure food security and documentation throughout the value chain.

Identifying the potential

Since 2021, a cross-functional sustainability group in Maritech has cooperated to find out how we can optimize our sustainability efforts and align and integrate new activities with our core operations, everyday practices, and overall strategy.

We are focusing on identifying low-hanging fruits as well as initiatives with a more extensive scope, such as product development ideas, potential research projects and new partnerships.

One of the initial activities was an internal survey amongst all employees, mapping the sustainability engagement and ideas across our organization. The next step was a series of workshops at Protomore Innovation Lab, where we also included some of our customers in the process to discuss what we can do to help them reduce their environmental footprint. Onwards, we are following up on the outcomes of the workshops on both the strategic and operational level, with sustainability group members in all our teams, each with a special responsibility for the actions we are planning ahead.
