Nutto Clean's Sustainable Development Mission

The Copernicus Climate Change Service, the EU's climate monitoring agency, said in a press release on July 8 that, as of June this year, the global average temperature had been 1.5°C higher than pre-industrial levels (1850-1900) for 12 consecutive months.

The threshold of a 1.5°C rise in global temperature is not just a symbolic number; it represents a new and more challenging phase for the Earth's climate system.

Most insect pests will become more rampant in a warmer climate. Global warming means that insect infestations triggered by climate change could impact public health and food production.

Furthermore, with the acceleration of global climate change and urbanization, the emergence and spread of bacteria are also accelerating, posing a threat to public health and business operations.

As a global expert in environmental sanitation and pest control, Rentokil Initial has publicly committed to several sustainability goals, including achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 and reducing the use of electricity, plastics, and packaging.

Sustainable solutions

Prevention is key

Before we begin pest control, we inspect the building structure and set up barriers, such as placing insect-proofing devices and isolation materials under doors or in gaps.

Reduce the use of chemicals

Develop green alternatives for fumigation and pest control to:

• Reduce the use of aluminum phosphide and sulfuryl fluoride
• Reduce the use of pesticides, harmful ingredients, and single-use plastic packaging

We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our product development processes. From consumables free of harmful chemicals or microplastics to products with sustainability certifications, we are exploring and applying new approaches to create clean and hygienic solutions that benefit both the environment and our customers.

Consumables

• Reduce battery use: Replace battery-powered products with plug-in or manual products.
• Reduce plastic waste: OSS, replace hand sanitizer dispensers with hand sanitizer refills.

All our hand sanitizers undergo comprehensive dermatological and toxicological testing and contain 98.5% natural ingredients, making them very gentle on the environment and your skin. We use only environmentally friendly, renewable packaging to reduce waste.

Sustainable products and services

We adhere to the principles of sustainability when providing services and designing each new product.

Utilizing state-of-the-art LED technology

The Lumnia Bright-Emitting-Endurance series of LED UV lamps are mercury-free and safely eliminate flying insects. Certified Lumnia lamps reduce carbon emissions by 62% compared to traditional fluorescent lamps.

Rentokil Initial Odor Control Solution

The effective molecules in Rentokil Initial's odor control technology are derived from natural plants, are biodegradable, and have safe and environmentally friendly ingredients. They can effectively treat different types of unpleasant odors, such as garbage odors, renovation odors, bathroom odors, and smoke odors.

Reduce reuse and recycling

We are measuring and reducing the waste generated by our company to achieve zero landfill and zero incineration, while increasing the use of recyclable materials in our products and throughout our operations.

Achieving paperless operations through digital platforms

With myRentokil, users can view pest data at various service sites at any time, download pest reports according to their needs, understand the changing trends of pest activity in a timely manner, and quickly grasp the effectiveness of pest control services.

Use sustainable products

For example, Indonesia uses rodent bait stations made from recyclable materials; ECO BIOTRPS, a green mosquito ovipositor, has containers that do not require recycling and are 100% biodegradable, reducing the amount of waste disposed of through landfills and incineration to zero:

• Reduce waste
• Recycle waste

Live, breathe, and move sustainably

We are examining every aspect of our operations, workplaces, and supply chains, and working with our employees to achieve our key goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.

Vehicles

• Reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions
• Adopt more electric/hybrid vehicles and seek more energy-efficient vehicle types

Supply Chain
Partnering with suppliers with a sustainable mindset:

• Supplier criteria
• Supplier sustainability status assessment and audit
• Valid ISO 14001 certification or assessment and approval for "RI Green Certificate" issuance to qualified suppliers
• Assessing product carbon footprint; CO2 emissions from shipping, freight, and transportation.

Energy

• Improve electricity efficiency and reduce electricity consumption in RI workplaces 
• Purchase renewable electricity whenever possible

Protect the Earth with Rentokil Initial

With the increasing severity of global climate change, carbon reduction and carbon neutrality have become crucial tasks for governments and businesses worldwide.
China's "dual carbon" goals are essentially both about low-carbon transformation. Peaking carbon emissions before 2030 is the near-term goal, the foundation and prerequisite for carbon neutrality; achieving carbon neutrality before 2060 is the long-term goal, requiring even more robust emission reductions after peaking.
As a global leader in environmental health and pest control, we deeply understand the importance of responsible action. We will leverage our resources, scale, and influence to protect health, improve the environment, and safeguard the planet.
Therefore, we have established partnerships with climate change charities and communities around the world, supporting their work in preventing deforestation, promoting biodiversity, and addressing the climate crisis.

As a global expert in environmental sanitation and pest control, NexGard has been committed to promoting sustainable development and continuous innovation for over 100 years, providing green and high-quality solutions to protect health, improve the environment, and safeguard the planet.

Rentokil Initial will continue to create a zero-carbon future with you through innovative technology and professional services!
