ESG at Cintas

Cintas' sustainable business model has underpinned the company's growth strategy and imparted a holistic "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" mentality throughout the company's operations.

This approach dates back to the company's origins almost 100 years ago during the Great Depression. Out-of-work circus performers Doc and Amelia Farmer went around to Cincinnati-area businesses and collected their dirty, discarded shop rags from their trash bins, and brought the dirty rags home to launder them. When the rags were clean, Doc and Amelia then sold them back to area businesses, thereby extending their useful lives and reducing companies' ongoing need to replace their discarded rags with brand-new rags.

Since then, the company has grown and expanded business operations to include uniform and apparel rental programs, facility services, first aid and safety products and services, and fire protection services.

Cintas' cultural focus on its Principal Objective, Corporate Character and Management Systems - defined by Founder Dick Farmer in his book, "Spirit is the Difference" - has resulted in ESG-centric business practices embedded holistically into Cintas' operations from its start.

Cintas' 2022 ESG Report will be published in January. To learn more about Cintas' ESG program, including its most recent reporting, visiting cintas.com/esg.
