sustainability & esg
How we care about the environment & our community
Reducing energy consumption, minimising waste, initiatives to increase the efficiency of production and services, transparency and accountability - this is the way we do business.
Our sustainable business approach is based on three areas: responsibility to the environment, to the community - the local one in which we produce and those where we export, and in the responsible management of the company.
Our top priorities
Environmental protection
Our commitment to combating global warming is evident in our focus on continuous electrification in product development, such as the electric version of the Lynx compact sweeper, and the integration of a solar power plant in production to meet our electricity needs sustainably.
Responsibility to communities
Our commitment to community responsibility is underscored by the efficient design of our machines, all independently certified to high emission standards, and our substantial investments in local communities, having contributed over a quarter million Euros in the past decade towards education, sports, and cultural programs for students at various levels.
Responsible corporate governance
Alongside rigorous risk management, we prioritize employee satisfaction and development. Our scholarship program, spanning over two decades and with an investment of 650,000 Euros, supports top students in Croatian universities, contributing to the creation of a new generation of experts and managers.
Electrification as a driver of change
Our product development in recent years, in all areas where it is technologically possible, has focused on electrification, but also on increasing the efficiency of machinery we produce.
New and useful technologies, such as 5G, IoT, machine connectivity, remote control and autonomous driving, are part of our research and production portfolio today.
Our awards
We are proud recipients of a number of awards at the national and regional level, and we are the only company in Croatia to be awarded the Golden Kuna award in the Innovation category twice – first time for the MUVO small universal vehicle, and second time for the LYNX compact sweeper.
From Canada to China, there is almost no country or company involved in maintaining roads that does not use RASCO equipment. Our partner family across Europe and the world has recognized the high value for money and superior support and service that RASCO provides to its customers. Our national and local communities have also recognized our efforts, our innovations, and our development.
During the 30 years of our commitment to the quality & sustainability of corporate development, we have received a number of awards at national and regional levels. We are particularly proud of these awards. Based on the criteria of motivation, productivity, and quality of the work atmosphere in the company, the regional website MojPosao.net awarded RASCO the Best Employer Award in the category of medium-sized enterprises in 2012.
The Croatian Chamber of Commerce has twice awarded us the prestigious Golden Kuna award in the Innovation category. We first received the award in 2013 for the MUVO small universal vehicle, and the second time in 2019, when our LYNX compact cleaner snatched the Best Innovation in Croatia award.
In 2021, Ružica Petričec Fabijanec, RASCO Board Member for Finance and Business Operations, was named CFO of the Year by the consulting and auditing company Deloitte. It is an initiative that promotes the importance of transparent corporate governance and is one of the ways to improve overall economic results, promote the investment climate and thus strengthen the economy.
