Environmental Sustainability
Efficiency is at the core of rental – both economically and ecologically. By focusing on shared usage, repairability, optimal resource use, reusability, and recyclability, rental can reduce carbon emissions by 30–50%.
At Renta, we aim to be the most sustainable and digital partner in our industry. Our sustainability strategy is built on four key pillars, with two closely tied to environmental responsibility:
Leading in circular economy & digitalization
Reducing Renta’s environmental impact
We leverage digitalization to boost efficiency and enable sustainable operations. Real-time data helps us – and our customers – track and report critical sustainability metrics.
Renta Future Next-Generation Fleet
Choose equipment that’s better for the environment — and for your site.
Our Renta Future label highlights machines with superior environmental performance, safety features, or emission-free operation.
What qualifies as Renta Future?
Powered by electricity or batteries — no combustion engines Low noise, zero emissions, minimal pollution Safer and more efficient for urban and sensitive environments
You’ll find Renta Future equipment easily:
- Marked in the Renta Easy app
- Available across key categories like electric loaders, excavators, scissor lifts, power banks, and battery-powered tools
“Electric machines significantly reduce noise, emissions, and pollution – making them ideal for urban construction.”
– Fleet Director Fredrik Svanestrand
Track Your Carbon Footprint
Know your fleet’s CO₂ impact – no more estimates!
- CO₂ emissions tracking available in the Renta Easy app.
- Real-time data from CAN-BUS telematics provides accurate scope 3 emissions reporting.
- Export footprint reports to integrate into sustainability reporting.
2025 Target: 80% of our existing fleet to be CAN-BUS compatible.
“For the first time, we can see the emissions behind our machines. This insight gives us a complete picture.”
– Jonathan Rignäs, Site Manager, Brixly, Sweden
Maximizing Machine Utilization
- Shared usage = fewer machines needed for the same workload.
- EU Green Deal supports product-as-a-service models like ours.
- Rental can cut carbon footprints by 30–50%.
Key sustainability drivers:
Utilization rate – maximizing machine use Right equipment for the job – reducing inefficiencies Efficient transportation – optimizing routes & loads Smart maintenance – extending machine lifespan
“Oslo targets a 95% emissions cut by 2030. Our partnership with Hafslund provides emission-free construction solutions.”
– Victoria Lervik, Director of Green Cities, Hafslund
Commitment to Science-Based Targets (SBTi)
We proactively reduce emissions and contribute to the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
- Expanding scope 3 emissions tracking upstream & downstream.
- By 2026, we will commit to Science-Based Targets (SBTi).
- Renta Easy’s CO₂ tracking helps us measure and reduce emissions effectively.
Energy Consumption & Emissions
We track and optimize our energy use across fuel, electricity, heating, cooling, and renewables.
Full Scope 1 and 2 emissions reporting, continuous development of Scope 3 Continuous work towards energy reduction ISO14001-certified depots in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Sweden
Minimizing Waste & Water Usage
Our Environmental Guideline ensures sustainable practices across all operations.
Key initiatives:
Finland: Waste sorting training, Construction Plastics Green Deal, water monitoring
Sweden: Färdplan 2045 climate-neutral construction roadmap
Norway: SmartVatten leak detection system
Latvia: Waste sorting project to reduce plastic waste
100% of depots completed the environmental checklist by the end of 2024.
