Sustainability
Enabling your business
Driving positive change
Empowering progress with purpose
At Royal Reesink, sustainability is not a side initiative. It is part of how we manage risks, identify opportunities and create long-term value.
As a leading global family of machinery equipment distributors, our portfolio includes products, technologies and services that support safety and operational efficiency, more responsible resource use and longer equipment lifetimes. With 240 years of history, we honor our legacy by reducing our environmental impact and supporting more resource-efficient technologies. 
Sustainability as part of our corporate strategy
Our purpose is to enable our operating companies to shape a more sustainable future for our machinery and equipment partners, our customers and the planet. Sustainability is therefore embedded in our corporate strategy and in the way we work with people, deliver products and services and manage our processes.
Our sustainability strategy prioritizes environmental, social and governance topics identified through our double materiality assessment. These topics reflect where our activities can have the greatest impact on people and the environment, as well as where sustainability-related developments may affect our business.
The strategy is built around three interconnected pillars:
• People: Empowering our people and partners
• Products and services: Advancing sustainable solutions
• Processes: Acting with integrity and responsibility
These pillars provide the framework for our commitments, actions, and performance monitoring.
Products and services
Advancing sustainable solutions
Through our products, technical expertise and services, we support our customers operate more safely and efficiently. By offering innovative technologies and supporting products throughout their lifecycle, we contribute to the transition towards a more circular and lower-carbon economy.
Our commitments
- Circular solutions
We enable circular economy principles through rental and repair services, after-sales support and the sale of used equipment. These activities are intended to keep equipment in use for longer and support more efficient use of products and materials. - Energy-efficient equipment
We promote equipment options designed to support lower energy or fuel consumption in specific applications. This also includes smart farming technologies that can support more targeted use of inputs and help customers respond to changing environmental and market conditions. - Climate and environmental performance
We aim to improve environmental performance of our operations through carbon-reduction initiatives and responsible energy and waste management.
