Social Responsibility

At Rentokil Initial, being a responsible business is very important to us, our focus areas are colleagues and culture, the environment, service and innovation, and communities. We ensure we adhere to this by committing to strong governance and by having transparent targets to ensure accountability.

Sustainability

By being a Responsible business, we are able to provide high-quality services for our customers by focusing on the safety, engagement and training of our colleagues, and by developing innovative products and services which are increasingly non-toxic and sustainable. This is demonstrated through our mission and social purpose: Protecting People, Enhancing Lives and Preserving our Planet."
"In 2022, we developed Mission Sustainable – our creative platform to talk to our customers worldwide about our environmental commitments delivered through our operations and services. This includes five core pledges in line with our mission:
