Speedy Hire achieves ‘industry-first’ carbon management verification

Speedy Hire achieves PAS2080:2023 third party verified carbon management system

SPEEDY Hire has announced it has become the first UK & Ireland hire company to implement a PAS2080:2023 third party verified carbon management system.

PAS2080 is the globally recognised standard for managing carbon in infrastructure and the built environment. By aligning its operations with this framework, Speedy Hire revealed it is enabling customers to better baseline, assess, and reduce carbon emissions across project lifecycles.

Matthew Pygott, head of net zero at the firm, said, “Achieving a third party verified PAS2080 management system is a significant step forward in our mission to help customers decarbonise. It reflects the depth of our commitment to carbon transparency, responsible supply chain collaboration, and measurable environmental impact. Through this, and our wider carbon intelligence services, we’re empowering our customers to deliver lower-carbon projects, more efficiently and confidently.”

Speedy Hire’s PAS2080 carbon management system is independently audited under an existing agreement with sustainability consultancy Auditel.

The certification complements the recent launch of Speedy Hire’s Carbon Reporting Tool, providing a solution for emissions tracking, product benchmarking, and data-driven decision-making.
