We understand that being a responsible business needs to be a shared goal. We’re here to support you by delivering solutions that protect the people in your business from pest risks while helping to contribute to your sustainability objectives.
As your partners, we’re focused on reducing the environmental impact of the services we provide to your business by finding better ways to help you tackle pests on your premises.
A responsible business needs partners who deliver effective solutions with a lower environmental impact. That’s why we’re committed to innovating low-impact, high-performance products that effectively protect your premises without compromising your sustainability goals.
For businesses with strong sustainability commitments, reducing chemical dependency is no longer optional, it’s essential. With integrated pest management and digital monitoring, we help our customers stay compliant with tightening regulations and maintain effective, audit-ready pest prevention programmes.

Digital risk assessments: We’re updating and deploying digital Environmental Risk Assessments via an app. Our technicians and surveyors use this tool to assess the specific environment, area size, and climate, ensuring they deliver the most appropriate treatment.
Targeting high-risk chemicals: We maintain a comprehensive database that classifies and grades all our chemicals according to their environmental risk. Our dedicated task forces, including those aligned with the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosure (TFND) framework, regularly meet to discuss chemical risks and prepare strategies to minimise these environmental impacts.
Fumigant innovation: To meet our target of a 70% reduction in emissions by 2030, a dedicated task force is in place to discuss the latest challenges, opportunities, and innovations in the fumigant sector. By driving continuous improvement in this specialised area, we successfully reduced fumigation-related emissions by 5% in 2024 alone, contributing to a total 21% reduction over the last two years.
Under our parent company, Rentokil Initial, we’re taking the necessary steps to help our customers tackle their environmental impact while working towards our goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
We believe in partnering with suppliers who share our environmental and ethical values, and we use globally recognised standards to ensure this.
Our own dedication to these principles was recognised in 2025 when we received the EcoVadis Silver Sustainability Medal, placing us in the top 15% of all companies assessed. EcoVadis is the world's most geographically spread and most comprehensive provider of sustainability ratings, which assesses the widest ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) categories via third-party assessment. A key part of EcoVadis certification is the assessment of Sustainable Procurement.
We apply the same rigorous standards to our own partners. Where available, we prioritise independent, third-party certifications, such as EcoVadis. When external certification is limited, we use our own comprehensive internal rating, conducting assessments against the Rentokil Initial Supplier Management Standard. This standard is regularly reviewed to ensure it meets the highest criteria.
