Our contribution to a sustainable future
At Huddig, we have always strived to build our machines as smart as possible - both in terms of design and production technology.
We are constantly looking for new and better alternatives to create machines that meet both our high quality standards and our vision of a minimal climate footprint. Back in 2012, we took a big step towards a fossil-free future when we started developing HUDDIG TIGON - the first excavator loader that can be powered by electricity, and today our entire company is working towards the UN's global goals.

Our work on the 2030 Agenda and the Global Goals
One of the Swedish UN Association’s focus areas is Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. The SDGs are 17 ambitious and universal goals adopted by world leaders in 2015. The goals are to contribute to socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable development and be achieved by 2030 in all world countries.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals
Over the years, our sustainability work has developed, expanded and refined. Based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we have chosen to focus on three specific areas where we and our industry can have the most impact.
Huddig's focus areas
Huddig's sustainability work focuses specifically on three different areas - Quality Education, Industry, Innovations and Infrastructure and Climate Action. These are areas where we can make the biggest impact and pave the way for more companies in the construction industry. Below you can read more about how we work in practice in each area.
Quality Education
Global
We collaborate with some of Sweden's leading universities, technical colleges and driver training programs to create as rewarding training as possible. We also ensure that all our international partners deliver machine training in connection with deliveries and later needs.
Local
Through our close partnerships with driver training programs, among others, we ensure that students have access to the latest technology - all to give them the best conditions for future employment. We also support Ung Företagsamhet in their efforts to train future generations. In addition to training and collaboration with external actors, we also run internal skills development, including staff appraisals, internal courses and common objectives.

Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Global
At Huddig, we strive to get the entire industry to optimize the way they work so that we create a sustainable construction and maintenance of existing infrastructure. Our machines are an important part of the global expansion of broadband and fiber networks and with our innovative hybrid technology, this work can now be done more climate-smart.
Local
Since day one, we have created flexible, high-quality and long-lasting products. With proper maintenance and professional service, the life of the machines is further extended. Today, we own several patents on innovations that have made us a market leader and through close cooperation with other manufacturing companies, synergies are created that lead to a smarter and more sustainable manufacturing process.

Climate Action
Global
Already in 2012, we took the step towards reducing the carbon footprint of our machines when we started developing our hybrid machine HUDDIG TIGON - the first excavator loader that can run on electricity alone without compromising on strength or agility. We are constantly working to improve resource consumption and minimize the use of chemicals in our manufacturing. One step in this is that all our models can run on HVO (renewable diesel with lower environmental impact).
Local
In addition to improvements in our manufacturing processes and operations, we have created a system for reusing reconditioned spare parts. This means fewer newly produced parts and a longer life span for machines and spare parts.
