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 options to create machines that meet both our high quality standards and our vision of a minimal carbon footprint. Already back in 2012, we took a big step towards a fossil-free future when we started the development of 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
Globally
We collaborate with some of Sweden's leading universities, technical colleges and driver training programs to create as rewarding training as possible. We also support our international partners with machine training in conjunction with deliveries or if required later.
Locally
Through our close collaboration with driver training programs, among others, we ensure that students have access to the latest technology—all to give them the best possible conditions for future employment. We also support Young Entrepreneurship in their efforts to educate future generations. In addition to training and collaboration with external partners, we also promote internal skills development through employee reviews, internal courses, and shared goals.

Industry, innovation and infrastructure
Globally
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 playing a vital part of the global rollout of broadband and fiber networks. and with our innovative hybrid technology, this work can now be performed more sustainably.
Locally
Since day one, we have created flexible products with high quality and a long life span. With the proper maintenance and professional service, the lifetime of the machines is further extended. We now own several patents on innovations that have made us a market leader. Through close collaboration with other manufacturing companies, synergies have been created that, among other things, lead to a more innovative and sustainable manufacturing process.
Climate Action
Globally
Already back in 2012, we took a step towards reducing the carbon emissions of our machines when we began the development of our hybrid HUDDIG TIGON. This first-ever hybrid excavator loader can run on electricity alone without compromising strength or agility. We are constantly working to improve resource consumption and minimize chemical use in our manufacturing. One step in this process is that all our machine models can run on HVO (renewable diesel with lower environmental impact).
Locally
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.

Case study in sustainability at Huddig
A study conducted by Huddig in 2023 investigated the possibility of using the Green Performance Map (GPM) method to increase sustainability in production logistics.
The study used a qualitative method with a case study focusing on the assembly station of the excavator unit at Huddig. Data was collected through literature reviews, interviews, observations, filming, and written documents in order to apply the GPM method. The results show that GPM is an effective tool for visualizing environmental aspects, increasing employee awareness of environmental waste, reducing waste, and optimizing the workplace. The study also showed positive economic effects through reduced costs, increased revenue from waste, and more efficient logistics processes. The study shows that the recommendations benefit People, Planet, and Profit in accordance with the Triple Bottom Line.
