Sustainability is core to Speedy Hire’s vision, mission and Velocity strategy
Our ambition is to become the most efficient and sustainable UK hire business, supported by our sustainability strategy, The Decade to Deliver – reflecting our belief that the next ten years will define the next 100. Our purpose is to drive a hire revolution, inspiring people to make hire their first choice by bringing this sustainable option to more people, places and products.
ACCELERATING INNOVATION
We're making hire even more sustainable by working for even better designed products. Built to last, designed to be repaired, and made to be recycled.
CLIMATE SOLUTIONS
We're going net zero carbon fast and helping our customers to do so the same, with a low carbon fleet, innovative products, and sustainable services.

Our people are part of local communities all over the country and it's in our nature to join in and help solve the challenges we face.
INCLUDING EVERYONE
We need great people working on shared goals, looking out for one another and helping us grow. At Speedy Hire, we can help people be the best they can be, and make this the decade to count.
Governance
Our work to achieve our sustainability targets and ensure a fair and inclusive transition to a low carbon economy is overseen and guided by a robust governance framework to enable timely, informed and integrated decision making.
