SUSTAINABILITY
Hertz takes a top-to-bottom approach
to environmental management of our
operations. As we expand our location
footprint, we are utilizing LEED stan-
dards, and pursuing LEED certification
wherever possible, to optimize energy
performance and environmental stan-
dards. Taking a holistic view of location
sustainability, we’ve cut in half the
number of printers we use and reduced
printer toner by 74% since 2008. We
estimate we’ve saved 45,000 trees
since 2010 via paper recycling, and
we’ve also recycled more than 50,000
IT units since 2005.
At Hertz rental locations, more than
80% of car wash water is recycled
and reused, and in 2011, we recycled
about 680,000 gallons of used oil.
We’re also installing more energy effi-
cient lighting. In 2011, we installed
solar powered energy at 7 U.S.
locations with an additional 9 sites
planned for 2012. Collectively, Hertz
will generate 2.7 million kilowatt hours
of electricity annually, through our
solar installation program.
We also work hard to offer our custom-
ers the most environmentally conscious
fleet possible. We are the only car rental
company to offer electric vehicles,
which are 2/3 cheaper to run than
gas-fueled vehicles, on three continents.
We ensure Hertz customers have
environmentally friendly vehicle options
through our Green Traveler Collection,
which include hybrid vehicles, reserv-
able by make and model. We are
ELECTRIC VEHICLES
In 2011 Hertz took several steps toward its goal to become the sustainability leader in the
transportation sector. These actions focused on all aspects of the business, ranging from
reducing our carbon footprint operationally, and offering customers environmentally sensible
vehicles to aligning with organizations dedicated to improving global environmental quality.
We are the only car rental
company to offer electric
cars on three continents.
