RS, a Texas-based global product and service solutions provider for industrial customers, reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 58% since 2019/20 by making its distribution sites more automated, energy-efficient and sustainable.

The company accelerated progress through modal shifts from air to sea or air to road and optimized its supply chain to source, store and ship more products locally. These activities resulted in lowering Scope 3 product transport emissions by 26% since 2019/20.

The company plans to engage 67% of its suppliers by spend to set science based targets (SBTs) by 2025. Currently, 32% of suppliers by spend have set SBTs or have committed to set them by 2025 with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

The company also received three new accolades in 2025: an improved 2024 CDP A List rating, a third consecutive EcoVadis Platinum medal, and a second consecutive listing in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook.

The CDP A List rating places RS amongst the top 2% of disclosing companies. The third consecutive EcoVadis Platinum medal places RS in the top 1% of rated companies, and the second consecutive listing in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook places RS in the top 15% of companies in its industry.
