One of the UK's leading construction equipment hire and service providers is set to achieve net-zero by 2040.

If achieved, Speedy Hire will hit the target ten years ahead of the government deadline. It will publish its roadmap as part of its 'Decade to Deliver' strategy next month.

The roadmap is expected to outline methods to cut Scope 1 & 2 emissions in half as well as Scope 3 emissions by 42% by 2030.

The move follows the UK Government's announcement of support for the C02nstructZero net-zero roadmap earlier this month.


Speaking on the company's plans, Amelia Woodley, ESG Director, Speedy Hire said: "The announcement of Government support for the CO2nstructZero net-zero roadmap from Minister of State Nusrat Ghani on Monday 6th June is a welcomed critical step towards decarbonising the industry. It is important that the industry collaborates and agrees on concrete and actionable steps to drive the sustainable and technological ​revolution within the sector.

"At Speedy, we are accelerating product innovation and decarbonisation solutions in collaboration with our partners, prioritising the long-term vision of sustained net-zero. This is why we have set Science Based Targets to bring us substantially closer to meeting The UK Government’s 2050 net-zero ambitions, in-line with the CO2nstructZero net-zero roadmap."
