Accelerating Innovation

Our Goal is to be the Green Innovator of Hire

Hire is built for sustainability.

This decade, we’re going to make hire even more sustainable than it already is by working even harder with our customers, suppliers and innovators to push for even better designed products: built to last, expanding the repairing, refurbishing and retrofitting of our products.

Delivering a Hire Revolution

Hire is built for sustainability. Why buy products when you can hire state of the art kit and reduce your environmental impact?  With circular economy thinking at the heart of our business model we’re working hard to make hire the norm through Net Zero circular innovation and expanding the repairing, refurbishing and retrofitting our products to reduce carbon emissions and waste.

As leader in bringing sustainable product and service innovation to the hire sector we’re working closely with our suppliers.  Investing in eco technologies such as battery, solar and hydrogen and sustainable fuels we’re helping to reduce ours and our customers carbon emissions whilst improving air quality for our local communities.

On our journey to be the Green Innovator of Hire we are rated as a ‘Gold’ equipment and tool hire provider by the Supply Chain Sustainability School.  Check out our progress highlights below.

We collaborate with suppliers to align to the ISO20400 sustainable procurement standard by 2025 meaning all our goods, products and services will be sustainably sourced and uphold fair labour practices. We are members of the Supply Chain Sustainability School Modern Slavery Working Group and align to the highest modern slavery and human rights standards and undertake thorough due diligence through our operations and supply chain.
