MINING RESPONSIBLY

Caterpillar is committed to doing all we can to support our customers in their sustainability journey. Our strategy is to provide integrated, full-site solutions that mines can use to meet their goals. Many exist today, some are in development and others are on the drawing board. We shared a number of these solutions at MINExpo 2021.

Optimizing Operations. Minimizing Impact.

We support you on your sustainability journey in two ways: by helping you optimize your operations to increase efficiency and reduce fuel burn, and by providing machine and power solutions that help you minimize your impact.
