REMONDIS

REMONDIS Group, founded in 1934 and headquartered in Lünen, Germany, is one of the largest waste management companies in the world. It has operations in 1,000 locations across more than 30 countries, and it serves over 30 million residential customers and 200,000 industrial customers with waste services annually. REMONDIS has more than 11,000 company-owned vehicles and deals with 30 million tons of raw materials per year. Its major activities include city cleaning, maintenance of green spaces and waste services for local authorities, as well as water and recycling services.

Summary

Remondis performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with significant room for improvement in its sustainability reporting. The company should prioritise conducting a materiality assessment to identify key sustainability risks and opportunities. Remondis can strengthen its sustainability leadership by developing and publishing a strategy that aligns these priorities with its overall business strategy, and assigning clear accountability for sustainability to the highest governing body. Although the company expresses a general commitment towards human and labour rights, it should formalise this commitment in its code of ethics or other policies to ensure these standards are binding across the group.

Remondis Australia, the company’s Australian arm, publishes an annual sustainability report with specific targets for hazardous waste treatment, the diversion of waste from landfill to increase circularity and the adoption of low-emissions fleet vehicles. Remondis is encouraged to adopt this reporting approach and set similar targets across all its operations in order to meet global reporting requirements and assess sustainability impacts at the group level. The company is also recommended to report annually on its greenhouse gas emissions, a critical issue for the waste sector.
