Sustainability Accounting Standards Board
The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) is an independent, private sector standards-setting organisation dedicated to enhancing the efficiency of the capital markets by fostering high-quality disclosure of material sustainability information that meets investor needs.
Their use of the term ‘sustainability’ refers to corporate activities that maintain or enhance the ability of the Company to create value over the long term. Sustainability accounting reflects the governance and management of a company’s environmental and social impacts arising from production of goods and services, as well as its governance and management of the environmental and social capitals necessary to create long-term value.
SASB
The SASB has developed a set of 77 industry-specific sustainability accounting standards.
This is the first year that Rentokil Initial is reporting against the Professional & Commercial Services industry standard, which includes three disclosure topics and accounting metric areas:
- Data Security

We have disclosed information on all these areas in both our 2020 Annual Report and 2020 Responsible Business Report. A brief summary and quick links to disclosure on these areas can be found in the table below.
