Corporate responsibility
Sustainability as Part of the Solid Experience
At Solid Rental, we believe technology only creates real value when it strengthens a story. As a technical production partner, we transform ideas, brands and messages into experiences that people can see, hear and feel.
By combining technology, creativity and execution, we create productions that not only make an impression in the moment, but leave a lasting impact long after the event has ended.
Events bring people together, strengthen brands and make stories tangible. At the same time, they have an impact on the world around us. That is why we believe the future of the event industry is not only about innovation and quality, but also about responsibility.
Sustainability is not a separate initiative for us. It is embedded in the way we work, invest and look ahead. Because progress only has real value when it is built for the future.
Our Ambition – Officially Validated by SBTi
Clients, visitors and partners increasingly expect quality, innovation and sustainability to go hand in hand. We believe this is the future of our industry.
That is why our climate targets have been officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This validation confirms that our targets are science-based and aligned with the global ambition to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
Our target is:
Solid Rental commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and scope 2 GHG emissions 63% by 2035 from a 2025 base year, and to measure and reduce its scope 3 emissions.
This validation not only confirms our ambition, but also provides direction for the decisions we make today for tomorrow.
Transparency plays an important role in this process. That is why we measure our CO₂ emissions annually and continuously improve our understanding of our environmental footprint. In 2025, Solid Rental's total emissions amounted to 86.4 tonnes of CO₂e. Of this, 60.3 tonnes of CO₂e originated from our own operations (scope 1 and 2). The remaining emissions occurred within our value chain (scope 3), including suppliers, transportation and other partners.
Because a significant part of our emissions occurs beyond the boundaries of our own organisation, our ambitions extend beyond improving our own operations. We are equally focused on gaining insight into and reducing emissions throughout our value chain.
From Ambition to Action
Sustainability starts with action. That is why we continuously work on making our operations more sustainable and reducing our environmental footprint.
Over the past years, we have:
- Installed 200 solar panels on our facility.
- Upgraded our entire location with energy-efficient LED lighting.
- Implemented annual CO₂ footprint measurements.
- Further optimised logistics processes by reducing transport movements, consolidating material flows and applying cross-docking where possible.
- Extended the lifespan of equipment through maintenance, refurbishment and reuse.
Every step contributes to the same goal: creating increasingly sustainable productions without compromising on quality, technology or experience.
The Next Step
Our ambition does not stop with what we have already achieved. Over the coming years, we will continue to further reduce our environmental footprint across both our own operations and our value chain.
Our focus includes:
- Transitioning our office and warehouse to 100% renewable electricity from Dutch wind energy.
- Further electrification of transport and operational equipment.
- Exploring sustainable alternatives to conventional fuels.
- Reducing energy consumption throughout our operations.
- Measuring, understanding and reducing emissions within our value chain (scope 3).
Because a large part of our environmental footprint lies outside our own organisation, we actively collaborate with suppliers, partners and clients to drive progress together.
People Make the Difference
Sustainability is about more than CO₂ emissions. It is also about the people who contribute to our productions every day.
That is why we continuously focus on providing a safe working environment, supporting personal development and building long-term relationships with employees, freelancers and partners.
We believe sustainable growth is only possible when people are given the opportunity to develop, take ownership and help shape the future of our industry.
The Future of Events
The world of live communication is evolving faster than ever. Technological innovation continues at a rapid pace, while expectations from clients and audiences keep growing.
We see this as an opportunity to lead the way. An opportunity to demonstrate that high-end technical productions, innovation and sustainability can go hand in hand. That technology not only creates more impactful events, but also smarter and more sustainable solutions.
Because the best events do more than leave a lasting impression.
They leave as little impact on the world around us as possible.
Maximum experience. Minimum environmental impact.
