Sustainability through the modernization of elevators

Modernizing elevators is in line with Motum’s support for Agenda 2030 and the Global Goals for Sustainable Development adopted by the UN member countries in 2015. Our ambition is to become a leading operator in sustainability and drive the development of sustainability within the industry. Modernizing elevators means that we harness the environment while simultaneously enhancing the quality of life for those who live and work in the property.

Modernizing elevators, the environmentally friendly alternative.

Combating climate change is the biggest challenge of our time. At Motum, we often advocate for the modernization of elevators instead of tearing them down and installing new ones. Consequently, the parts that work and are in good condition are kept, while parts that are worn out or can be replaced by better components – to, for example, increase operational reliability and reduce energy consumption – are replaced. This means getting a modern and safe elevator while preserving the old feeling. Together with Chalmers University in Gothenburg, we have written a report which clearly states that modernization produces at least a 50% lower environmental impact than installing a new one. Modernizing the elevator is not always possible, but more often so than most people think. Motum is the obvious choice if you are considering modernizing an existing elevator in the property.

Our sustainability efforts through the modernization of elevators.

Motum’s sustainability initiatives are based on specific activities within the four interim objectives:

#5 Gender Equality

Motum complies with applicable national laws and regulations and works actively to promote equality and diversity within the organisation.

#8 Decent Work and Economic Growth

Motum complies with applicable national laws and regulations and is covered by a collective agreement. The company works continuously to create a safe working environment for the employees.

#11 Sustainable Cities and Communities

Motum is leading the way towards sustainable cities by raising the awareness of property owners and housing cooperatives about the environmental benefits of modernizing your old elevator instead of replacing the entire elevator.

#12 Responsible consumption and production

Motum works actively to reduce the carbon footprint of the company and the elevator industry by promoting the modernization of old elevators. The company has also begun a gradual conversion of the company’s vehicle fleet to more eco-friendly vehicles.
