Speedy Hire has been awarded a 'Platinum Medal' by EcoVadis - one of the world’s most highly rated providers of business sustainability ratings.
The Platinum Medal is the highest accolade awarded by EcoVadis and places Speedy Hire in the top 1% of companies it assesses and ranks - which includes over 85,000 businesses worldwide.
The EcoVadis assessment evaluates 21 sustainability criteria across four core themes: Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. The rating system is based on internationally recognised principles and standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative and the UN Global Compact, that Speedy Hire is aligned to.
As part of its ‘Decade to Deliver’ ESG strategy, Speedy Hire has set targets to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040, ten years ahead of the UK government deadline. Carbon emissions emitted by Speedy Hire in the UK and Ireland reduced by 21.4% in FY2024, achieved through the procurement and organic generation of renewable energy, investment into a greener property network, a more efficient electric and hybrid vehicle fleet and the use of HVO fuel in larger vehicles.
“Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Speedy Hire and underpins our ambitious Velocity strategy," explained ESG Director Amelia Woodley."Our Decade to Deliver ESG programme focuses on delivering commercially sustainable growth, through providing solutions that enable our customers to achieve their net zero ambitions, whilst creating better environments for our people and communities. This prestigious EcoVadis Platinum Medal award is testament to our credentials as a sustainability leader and reflects the work our team and our partners are delivering to maintain our industry leading approach.”
