Sustainable development
Ramirent is committed to promoting responsible business practices in the equipment rental industry. We focus on environmentally friendly practices, low-emission equipment, and transparent reporting to advance sustainable development. Our climate goals have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), making us the first equipment rental company in the world to achieve this recognition.
Emission reduction targets
Ramirent Finland Oy is committed to reducing its environmental impact and contributing to a lower-emission future. We aim to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% and Scope 3 emissions by 30% by 2030 (compared to 2019 levels).
Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)
The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) validated Ramirent’s climate targets in 2023. An independent body annually assesses the quality of Ramirent’s emissions reporting and progress towards achieving the targets. Ramirent’s emissions are reported according to the GHG Protocol and cover Scopes 1, 2, and 3.
Scope 1, 2 and 3
The most widely used international standard for measuring and reporting greenhouse gas emissions is the GHG Protocol (Greenhouse Gas Protocol). In this protocol, emissions are divided into three categories: Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3.
Scope 1 includes all direct greenhouse gas emissions that result from a company’s own operations.
Scope 2 includes greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the production of energy purchased and used by the company.
Scope 3 encompasses all other indirect greenhouse gas emissions related to a company’s activities but originating from sources not owned or controlled by the company. These emission sources include, for example, emissions from the upstream production of goods and services, as well as emissions from travel and transportation. Scope 3 emissions are divided into fifteen different categories.
Ramirent Group sustainability report
#BuildingLife
We published our own carbon neutrality roadmap as part of the European Green Building Councils’ #BuildingLife project, which aims to accelerate emission reductions at both the national and EU levels.
Energy savings
We are reducing our own energy consumption with the goal of using only renewable energy.
Own transportation
We optimize logistics and use more environmentally friendly transportation options. A modern logistics system reduces driving distances, which in turn lowers emissions.
Waste
We are reducing the amount of waste. Our current waste recovery rate is 100% and our recycling rate is 70%. We report monthly on the costs, waste quantities, and recycling and recovery rates of waste management and hazardous waste services, broken down by site or category.
