Shaping the future for the babies of today

As a family company, we work for babies and their safe future. For this reason – from the very beginning - working in a sustainable and responsible way has been central to everything we do.

Leading the way 

We aim to act in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and therefore brought our existing sustainability strategy into line with them.

We are committed to sustainability  

MAM participates voluntarily in many initiatives and projects that have helped to promote and contribute to sustainability. We are, for example, members of the UN Global Compact, the Austrian CSR Platform respACT and Co-founder of Austria’s leading recycling specialist ARA (Altstoff Recycling Austria).

Collaborating with partners

We constantly maintain and improve an active dialogue with our stakeholders – our employees, owners, parents, medical experts, distribution and trading partners as well as our suppliers. We also prefer to only work with people and partners who care about the next generation as much as we do.

Is there anything more sustainable than working for the future of the next generation and their environment? We work for the wellbeing, safety and health of babies all over the world.

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 optimising our plants and production processes. Parents who use our bottles and soothers can also contribute to fighting climate change. Did you know that the majority of our product's CO2 emissions are generated during the use phase of bottles and soothers? You can therefore make a significant contribution to environmental protection yourself by sterilising 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 Centre 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.

ISO standards:

14001/9001 

Our production plants in Hungary and Thailand are certified in accordance with the environmental and quality standards by ISO.  

Sustainable resources and materials

We are deeply committed to ensuring that our chosen materials are safe, of high quality and do not harm the environment. Therefore, we are constantly working on solutions for ecological baby products. Please find more information at MAM Quality & Safety.

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 more sustainable soother 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.

We care about society 

We contribute to society in different ways. Our commitment includes collaborating with over 30 medical experts, promoting research on baby health and supporting socially disadvantaged children and families through worldwide corporate giving programmes. 

International Children Medical Research Society

The ICMRS is an independent research foundation on early childhood health initiated in 1996 and located in Wollerau, Switzerland. The organisation receives research assignments from MAM as well as from other clients. Its members come from the fields of medicine and material/functional technology and work full-time in universities, clinics or testing laboratories.

medical studies concerning children’s health are currently stored in our data bank. 

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 Syndrome)– 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 the USA, UK, Italy, Austria, Brazil and China) to raise awareness of the risk of SIDS and how to prevent it. 

SIDS Info Sheet

MAM develops educational materials that visualise important topics like SIDS without words in order to make it accessible to everyone.  

We volunteer

MAM supports numerous charities around the world with donations in kind and employee time, financial resources and sustainable projects that support the health and safety of babies and toddlers. This is at the heart of MAM’s philosophy.
