Professionals worth your trust

Responsible governance

Good governance is the foundation of everything we do. As the fourth pillar of our sustainability strategy, we are committed to transparency, ethical business, and accountability — across all operations and our extensive value chain.

We work with suppliers and partners who share our values, follow international and local standards, and contribute to building trust through clear policies, strong data, and responsible actions.

Explore our governance practices below.

Our Approach & Strategy

Renta operates through a decentralized model, emphasizing local responsibility and decision-making. Our Group-wide strategy ensures consistent policies, while allowing flexibility across segments.

Key governance tools include:

Code of Conduct (for employees)
Business Code of Conduct (for partners & suppliers)
Environmental Guideline
Purchasing Guideline
Human Rights & Anti-Corruption Policies

These are reviewed regularly and align with international frameworks such as the UN Global Compact.

Strategy Action Plan runs until 2026, covering e.g. gender diversity, chemical reduction, supplier screening, and ISO certification.
