Rentokil Initial has set a long-term goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions from its operations by the end of 2040, encompassing all scopes of emissions. The company also has a near-term intensity target to reduce its emissions intensity by 20% by the end of 2025, using 2019 data as the baseline. This target applies to both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. As of the end of 2023, a 16% reduction in this efficiency index has been achieved. Additionally, Rentokil Initial is targeting a 70% absolute reduction in emissions from fumigation activities by 2030, using 2022 as the base year.

Rentokil Initial's climate targets, including net-zero and emission reduction targets, have been established by the company itself and are not cascaded from a parent or related organisation. The company has also committed to near-term and net-zero targets with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
