Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

At Rapid ERP, we recognise that our operations have a direct effect on the local, regional and global environment. We understand that climate change is one of the most urgent problems facing our world today and that it affects everyone universally.

Much like our commitment to providing strategic leadership for our customers, on many topics where we act as trusted advisors, we are committed to leading in the fight against climate change too.

We have a documented Environmental Policy, to ensure that our operations are carried out with consideration to protecting and enhancing the environment, and this is underpinned by our ambitious target to reach net-zero carbon emissions by the end of 2025.

This Environmental Policy has the full support of Rapid ERP’s senior leadership and is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary, to ensure that we decouple our future business growth from our impact on the environment.
