SPEEDY Hire has unveiled its Carbon Reporting Tool – described as a ‘transformative step’ in helping construction firms achieve their decarbonisation goals.
The tool benchmarks the operational performance of thousands of products, providing customers with detailed emissions reporting and reduction strategies.
Matthew Pygott, head of net zero at Speedy Hire, said, “At Speedy Hire, we recognise the critical role we play in supporting the construction industry’s transition to net zero. We are seeing increasing demand for carbon quantification in tenders and contract performance. With our Carbon Reporting Tool, we provide customers with the insights needed to make more sustainable choices, reducing both carbon emissions and costs.”
The tool has already been adopted by infrastructure and construction businesses. One of the first to trial it was Amey, a key client of Speedy Hire.
Sam Taylor, environment & sustainability business partner at Amey, said, “Speedy’s newly developed tool promises to give us greater visibility of our carbon emissions through plant and tool use and will help us drive behaviours to improve this. For example, live tracking of uptake of ‘eco’ products as an alternative to standard offerings, and the level of resolution of this data promises to help us review decisions made at an account and depot level and therefore drive behaviours with regards to plant and tool hire across the sector.”
The tool is designed to work with Speedy Hire’s broader carbon management ecosystem. It will be independently audited under the company’s existing contract with sustainability consultancy Auditel.
