ERA has issued a position paper to push for the broadest possible inclusion of equipment rental in the upcoming delegated act and has requested a meeting with the relevant European Commission officials to discuss how rental could be taken into account in the EU Taxonomy.

The position paper is based on the fact that the rental model is, at its core, an inherently sustainable one. 

ERA was at bauma from 24-28 October, with meetings of the Global Rental Alliance, the ERA Board and the ERA Technical Committee, culminating in a bauma Forum event on ‘The way to zero Emission’, moderated by ERA Manager Carole Bachmann.
