SCOTTSDALE, AZ - RSC Equipment Rental, the operating company of RSC Holdings Inc., launched an equipment emission tracking service that automatically calculates greenhouse gas and criteria pollutant emissions from diesel powered equipment. The data regarding these emissions are critical for regulatory compliance, voluntary reporting, and carbon footprint reduction. The Global Institute of Sustainability at Arizona State University independently verified the methodology, the formulas and the data collected.
"RSC is the first company in the equipment rental industry to provide customers accurate and detailed emissions data that help them with regulatory guidelines, voluntary reporting, and measuring progress towards sustainability goals," said Kevin Groman, Senior Vice President and head of the company's sustainability efforts. "The launch of this service, which has been in development for more than a year, could not be more timely; on Monday, an executive order was issued by the White House requiring federal agencies to measure, manage, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions toward agency-defined targets. Taken together, this executive order, and the EPA's recently issued rule requiring large U.S. sources and suppliers to collect and annually report their greenhouse gas emissions data, underscore the growing trend toward, and need for, accurate accountability and tracking, and we are excited to provide this beneficial solution to all customers."
