PRESS RELEASE
Speedy, the UK’s leading tools, equipment, and plant hire services company, has appointed Hydrock as its sustainability partner having set ambitious targets in its drive for net zero.
Last year, Speedy became the first hire company in the UK to publicly commit to net zero carbon emissions under science-based targets before 2050. To develop a robust strategy to ensure it can live up to this commitment, Hydrock will be working with Speedy to support on its client requirements within the built environment for innovative low carbon solutions.
Amelia Woodley, ESG Director at Speedy, said:
“Our aim is that every project big or small that involves the hire of our equipment, or the utilisation of our services will be sustainable. We want to ensure that both our products and logistical operations are designed to drive down carbon, through developing new technologies and processes with our suppliers.
As part of our commitment to reaching net zero carbon emissions under science-based targets before 2050, we’re reducing our scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 (vehicle fleet and properties).”
Hydrock's smart energy and sustainability team will work with Speedy to increase the transparency around their solutions, ultimately supporting conscious carbon-positive hiring decisions.
Matthew Pygott, Principal Sustainability Consultant, said:
“Over the last 18 months to two years, organisations have developed a much greater focus and awareness on the need to reach zero carbon.
Speedy is an example of how this is filtering through and impacting the entire supply chain. Clearly the biggest issue common to all is how to manage the costs involved in achieving that.”
This appointment by Speedy adds to a growing portfolio of carbon verification work advising contractors and private sector clients across several sectors.
