DESCRIPTION
The mission of the Committee on Sustainability is to promote sustainable behaviour amongst rental companies in the economic, social and environmental fields. It aims at facilitating the exchange of best practices and making recommendations where appropriate, both towards rental companies and national rental associations.
The Committee was created in October 2008. Since then it has gathered information on what initiatives rental companies are taking in the area of corporate social responsibility (CSR), how they measure these initiatives and how they publicize them. The results of a survey launched to obtain this information were presented at the ERA Convention in May 2009.
To be able to provide ERA Members with tools they can use to develop or improve their CSR policies, the committee decided to create a framework to explain what expectations should be in terms of sustainability for the rental industry. This document will list issues, a subset of measurement points (based on the KPIs developed by DEFRA in the UK), and advantages that can be identified in this respect and should be adopted at a forthcoming meeting.
