ERA Sustainability KPIs 3.0 guidance framework

May 19, 2025

The ERA Sustainability KPIs 3.0 guidance framework is a tool to enable rental companies to assess their current approach to sustainability performance measurement and reporting, and rate how well they perform against an industry framework.

It also provides a practical approach to implementing a sustainability measurement and reporting framework depending on an organisation’s level of maturity, from getting started, with nothing currently in place, to industry best practice.

The updated Framework 3.0 has been developed by ERA in partnership with epi ‎Consulting and is specifically designed to reflect current and emerging EU ‎sustainability reporting standards, while maintaining a practical and sector-focused ‎approach.‎

How to use the Sustainability KPIs 3.0 guidance framework

1. Review and update the current approach to ensure the sustainability reporting needs of stakeholders are met, based on the recommendations within this report, noting the minimum, good practice and best practice recommendations for each of the eight areas.

2. If there is no sustainability KPI framework in place, create a framework that is most suitable for your organisation by implementing minimum, good practice or best practice KPIs as appropriate to the size, complexity and sophistication of your organisation.

3. Develop a sustainability reporting action plan, starting with a plan to introduce the minimum recommended KPIs in each area, moving onto good practice as you mature your approach and finally implementing best practice and becoming an industry leader.

The framework was developed for ERA by an independent consultant – epi Consulting – and is updated from the original publication. It is suitable to be adopted by rental companies as is or adapted to their specific requirements.
