Innovations and sustainability

As an open-minded company with a clear vision, we decided to incorporate our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy and the associated objectives into our innovation processes, guided by the SDGs. We can now ensure that every new MAM product makes a contribution to achieving the SDGs – and can rule out anything that goes against them. 

CO₂ footprint

We take our responsibility for the reduction of greenhouse gases seriously by constantly optimizing our plants and production processes. Parents who use our bottles and pacifiers can also contribute to fighting climate change. Did you know that most of CO₂ emissions are generated during the use phase of bottles and pacifiers? You can therefore make a significant contribution to environmental protection yourself by sterilizing these products in the microwave instead of using a pan and boiling water and save up to 85% CO₂ and energy. Calculate your own CO2 savings with the MAM Easy Start™ Anti-Colic and the sterilizer and transport box for our pacifiers.

Fewer emissions 

Sustainable and emission-saving production has long been standard at MAM. Our production plants in Hungary and Thailand as well as our new Research & Development Center in Austria meet the highest demands in terms of eco-friendliness. We have been establishing environmental management systems and energy audits for several years and implement continuous measures to increase energy efficiency, move to renewable energy and thus reduce CO₂ emissions. 

All of our rubber products are labelled with the Fair Rubber logo. Fair Rubber is an organization that works to promote fairly traded and environmentally friendly rubber production. MAM has always placed a high priority on a sustainable supply chain. Ever since the company was first established, we have ensured that the farmers collecting the rubber next to our production plant in Hat Yai, Thailand, are treated fairly and that the natural environment is protected. As a member of Fair Rubber, we also pay a fair-trade premium that goes directly to the farmers and is fed into their communities. Furthermore, the areas where the rubber is grown and collected are audited by an external organization every one to three years to ensure that the environmental and social standards of Fair Rubber are being respected.

How to reduce waste

Waste reduction is a challenge. MAM has been making sure for years that our products create as little waste as possible and find their way back into the cycle. We avoid overproduction by intelligent, on-demand planning. In addition, we are moving towards a more sustainable pacifier production by manufacturing most of them completely waste-free. When it comes to contributing to a circular economy, we are highly ambitious. Many of our products and much of our packaging are technically recyclable and we are continuously working on increasing the proportion. By means of upcycling, our products receive a second life.

International Children Medical Research Society

Active against SIDS

The research and dissemination of knowledge that serves infant health is of great concern to us. Something that is especially close to our hearts is the topic of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrom)– one of the most feared risks for babies. MAM supports the international research community that is working to reduce this risk and has initiated campaigns in many countries (such as USA, the UK, Italy, Austria, Brazil and China) to raise awareness of the risk of SIDS and how to prevent it.
