Sustainability at Sunbelt Rentals

For Sunbelt Rentals, sustainability means being a thriving, growing enterprise that delivers long-term, sustainable value for our people, customers, communities, and investors. As one of the world’s largest rental companies, we provide advanced equipment and innovative solutions that inherently support the sharing economy. Through the power of rental, customers have access to lower-emitting equipment and innovative solutions to achieve their sustainability goals.

Our approach to sustainability centers on four key areas:

Reducing the environmental impact of our operations Providing innovative solutions for our customers

Investing in the growth, development, and success of our people Positively impacting the communities we serve

Our Operations

Our commitment to sustainability is integrated into our operations. We are continuously seeking ways to reduce our environmental footprint and enhance operational resilience. As part of this commitment, we are dedicated to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions for our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050, with an interim goal to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions on an intensity basis by 50% by 2034 from a 2024 baseline. These goals, in addition to our actions to reduce waste, conserve water, and contribute to a more sustainable supply chain are a fundamental part of how we operate.
