Sustainability and responsibility are the guiding principles of our company’s actions.
– Erich Sixt

Sharing mobility instead of owning it.

That’s the guiding idea behind SIXT. Beyond that, we are actively working to electrify our fleet in line with customer demand, to measure and reduce our own emissions, and to report transparently on our progress.

OUR CONTRIBUTION

Our Sustainability Strategy

Fleet
Electrified vehicles are naturally part of our rental fleet offering. As this area continues to develop, customer demand and the expansion of charging infrastructure play a decisive role - as do the long-term strategies and offerings of vehicle manufacturers, relative to whom SIXT, as a rental company, is ultimately a downstream player.

Another aspect: the average age of vehicles in the SIXT fleet is significantly under one year. This means we help ensure that the vehicles on the road are as new as possible - and therefore technologically state-of-the-art, particularly with regard to their emissions performance.
Charging infrastructure
We have already invested significantly in our own charging infrastructure and continue to expand it, with up to 1,000 of our own charging points at SIXT stations. This creates the conditions for fast, flexible charging of our electric fleet after vehicle return. In addition, we are progressively rolling out our charging solution, SIXT charge, across Europe. This gives customers direct access, via the SIXT App, to hundreds of thousands of public charging points - both during a SIXT rental and when driving other electric vehicles.
Mobility platform
Today already, our SIXT App is the central hub for the simple and flexible use of our services. The range spans from classic car rental (SIXT rent) to car sharing (SIXT share), ride hailing (SIXT ride), and vehicle subscription (SIXT+ auto abo). Our goal: maximum freedom in personal mobility - even without owning a car. We aim to keep expanding this offering and scale our platform further into an ecosystem for sustainable mobility.
CO2 emissions at branches & sites
We aim to reduce, as much as possible, the CO₂ emissions generated by operating our stations and locations - Scope 1 from the energy sourced for our locations, as well as the associated electricity consumption (Scope 2) - for example through installing our own photovoltaic systems or sourcing green electricity.

Since 2023, we have offset any remaining emissions annually through compensation projects. The emissions from our rental fleet are not part of this offsetting. Between 2023 and 2025, certificates covering a total of 44,013 tonnes of CO₂ were purchased and retired. These projects originate from recognized climate protection standards (Gold Standard, Verra/VCS, and Climate Action Reserve).
Further Initiatives
Renewable Energy: In Germany and France, we source 100% green electricity through contractual agreements. Since December 2024, we have also been generating our own solar power at our headquarters in Pullach via a photovoltaic system. We are gradually rolling out the sourcing of 100% renewable energy to additional countries.

ISO Certification: Our environmental and quality management system is certified according to ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 9001:2015 (issued by TÜV SÜD, valid until 2027). The scope covers the car rental business at several hundred locations in Germany.

CDP Reporting & CSRD: SIXT publishes its Corporate Carbon Footprint annually through the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project). This data is publicly available. Starting with fiscal year 2025, we will additionally report under CSRD.

Scope 3 Emissions: The majority of our climate-relevant emissions arise upstream in the supply chain and through customer use of our vehicles (Scope 3). Electrifying our fleet is therefore the most effective lever available: every electric vehicle in our fleet directly reduces these emissions.

ESG Governance: ESG targets are embedded in the Management Board's compensation, and one Board member holds formal responsibility for this area.

Culture & New Work
SIXT stands for a culture with strong corporate values. We rely on first-class leadership and innovative ways of working. And on our unique Team Orange.” 

Leadership
Our leaders are role models. They shape our culture. They inspire and excite us, communicate new perspectives and recognize their employees’ potential. We support and challenge our managers with the goal of leading not only with a focus on results, but also on values. This is what Premium Leadership stands for at SIXT.
Empowerment
At SIXT, it is not just about the job, it’s about true entrepreneurship. We want to create sustainable added value. Not just for our customers, but for every single employee. This includes first-class managers who promote the entrepreneurial thinking and actions of each individual. This empowerment is an elementary part of our orange DNA.
New Work
What does New Work mean at SIXT? In concrete terms: We use the opportunities of digitalisation and internationalisation to create an inspiring environment for our employees that supports personal development in the best possible way. We promote a culture of open discussion and constructive dialog. A high degree of freedom and personal responsibility from day one go hand in hand with exchange, support and regular feedback.
DiverSIXTy
Diversity is an important part of our company culture, the engine of our success and the source of innovation and progress. As diverse as the jobs at SIXT are, so are the people who work for us. With our employee network DiverSIXTy, we live and promote this diversity. Because SIXT not only stands for a strong brand, but also for strong values. We rely on an open, respectful and appreciative company culture in which everyone can develop their personality and ideas.

Our responsibility

We are not a car rental business serving people. We are a people business renting cars.”

Compliance
Code of Conduct
Our success as a company is based on an impressive business strategy and the daily commitment of our many thousands of employees around the world. It depends on each and every one of us to justify the trust that our customers and suppliers, shareholders and business partners place in us. Legally compliant and ethically impeccable behavior is vital for this.

In our Code of Conduct, you will find the basic principles and standards of behaviour of our company, with regard to ecology, social responsibility and governance, for example.
Whistleblowing
SIXT attaches great importance to promoting a culture of transparency and open speech. We encourage all our internal and external partners to report any breaches of the law that they might become aware of, including but not limited to violations of human rights and environmental standards. Please report any concerns you might have regarding a potential breach of the law by SIXT or by one of SIXT´s direct or indirect suppliers to our whistleblowing platform.
In addition, we give all of our employees and external stakeholders the opportunity to use our integrity tool to report misconduct or raise complaints about deficiencies related to human rights, environmental damage or ethical misbehavior within our supply chain.

Please note that more general comments regarding SIXT´s service or customer experiences should not be addressed to this platform but rather be sent to SIXT’s customer service.
Policy statement
We are a company that is aware of its responsibility for a sustainable supply chain. We even emphasize our commitment to respecting human rights, labour and environmental standards in our supply chain in our policy statement. We are committed to systematically identifying, avoiding and mitigating risks along our entire supply chain. To this end, we work closely with our suppliers to ensure that they also live up to our high standards. We believe that companies can play an important role in promoting a sustainable development. That is why we want to live up to our responsibility and continuously make improvements.

Our policy statement represents an important step along this route. We also realise that doing business sustainably is a shared task.

Supplier Code of Conduct
We strive to create responsible and sustainable value across our entire business spectrum and value chain. Our company’s performance is not based solely on successfully managing the business but also requires both, legal compliance and ethically impeccable behavior. This is essential in order to justify the confidence that customers and suppliers, shareholders and business partners as well as employees place in us. We expect our suppliers to follow the same principles. They must internalize our principles, which are manifested in our Code of Conduct, and promote them just as actively as we do. Our Supplier Code of Conduct reflects SIXT’s fundamental principles and sets minimum standards for business relationships with Sixt SE or any of its affiliated Group companies.

In 2011, it was converted into a charitable foundation under civil law. The foundation implements projects in the areas of education, health, welfare, and emergency aid. In doing so, it is supported voluntarily by SIXT employees all over the world and is committed to fighting poverty, promoting education and providing medical care for the smallest members of our society.
