Development of soft mobility solutions
Minimise the impacts of our activities on the environment
Succeed Together 2024 is the name of the strategic transformation and development plan that the Group has been actively leading since 2020. The ambition behind the plan is to create winning synergies between the MND teams and its partners, and build a robust and high-performance organisation to fulfil all its customers’ needs.
The mountains are our environment, our passion, our laboratory and our source of inspiration!
As a French industrial group whose business activities span the entire mountain sector, we are committed to supporting our customers in complying with the latest environmental standards and developing projects to ramp up the ecological transition and protect our ecosystems and biodiversity, whether by promoting soft mobility solutions in the city or diversifying our mountain communities.
Every day, we lend our support to several local and international institutions. Ever mindful of our duty to exercise due diligence and lead by example, we have been pursuing a virtuous business model for many years. In response to climate change issues and the challenges posed by tourism and urban development, our company has a key role to play in engaging resort operators, organising authorities and communities with a sustainable long-term vision.
