Herc Rentals has disclosed emissions across all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking their carbon footprint. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. The company continues to monitor and report its emissions, reflecting an awareness of its environmental impact, but lacks formalised reduction strategies such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or documented reduction targets. Overall, Herc Rentals is actively engaged in emissions reporting, but further steps may be necessary to establish clear reduction goals and initiatives to mitigate their carbon footprint effectively.
