Lendis and Planetly with joint cooperation

Sustainability plays an important role for Lendis. We are aware of our responsibility as a company in the fight against climate change. Through the rental model, Lendis is already helping to extend the life cycle of our office equipment and technology. This avoids countless tons of waste every year and increases resource efficiency. To take the sustainability aspect to the next level, we worked with Planetly to analyze our CO2 emissions and fully offset them in 2019. Read here how Lendis manages to offer 100% climate-neutral equipment.

What does Planetly do?

Planetly is a climate tech company founded in 2020. Its self-proclaimed mission: to make the business world climate-neutral. Planetly accompanies its customers every step of the way to climate neutrality. Using specially developed software, the company's CO2 emissions are first recorded and analyzed in order to derive suitable reduction strategies for the CO2 footprint. Planetly also arranges climate protection projects from its portfolio to offset CO2 emissions. All projects meet the highest international standards and can be individually selected and supported to suit your own company.

Which projects does Lendis support?

Lendis had a CO2 footprint of 1,260 tons in 2019. These mainly result from the production, use and disposal of the rented products. Added to this is inbound and outbound logistics. To offset our CO2 emissions, we have decided to support 3 different projects. 

Lendis supports rainforest project in Cambodia

As an office furniture rental company, the REDD+ rainforest project in Cambodia was very close to our hearts. As part of this project, one of the last remaining rainforests in Southeast Asia is being protected. At the same time, fair jobs are being created in the region. In addition, training courses impart knowledge about sustainable agriculture and microcredits for women. 

Lendis supports renewable energy project in India

The two other projects are energy projects in India. Both the solar energy project in Rajasthan and the wind energy project aim to increase the proportion of electricity from renewable energy in the power grid. Workshops also educate the local population about ways to save water and energy and their importance. 

Naturally, all three projects meet the highest quality requirements. The energy projects in India are registered under the Gold Standard. The REDD+ rainforest project is accredited by the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS) and has been awarded a triple Gold label in accordance with the Climate, Community & Biodiversity (CCB) Standard.

What does the cooperation mean for our customers?

Operationally, the cooperation between Lendis and Planetly will not result in any changes for customers. There are also no changes to our product range. However, all products rented with us and the entire service now bear the "100% climate neutral" seal thanks to our project support. This makes Lendis the first provider of climate-neutral workplaces. For customers, this means that all products rented with Lendis and the associated services have a balanced carbon footprint. Renting with Lendis means renting sustainable office equipment and making an active contribution to climate protection.
