We know construction can have a big impact on nature. From emissions and waste to land use and habitat loss, our sector touches the environment in more ways than one. That’s why both Speedy Hire and our customers have a role to play in reducing harm and helping nature recover.
As part of our commitment to a smarter, more sustainable way to work, we’ve carried out a structured assessment using the LEAP approach published by the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (‘TNFD’) framework to better understand how our activities interact with nature
To align with the Taskforce on Nature related Financial Disclosures ('TNFD'), we have also mapped our operational footprint against sensitive ecological sites to help us understand risks, reduce harm and support restoration.
Building on this foundation, we are now publicly reporting through CDP’s biodiversity questionnaire and will publish our first TNFD-aligned disclosure in FY2026. These steps reflect our ongoing commitment to transparency and environmental stewardship
We are also supporting our customers on their nature journeys. Partnering with construction company Sisk and the North Pennines National Landscape for a second year in a row we have contributed funds and volunteering hours to plant 20,000 cotton-grass plants and make dams with coir rolls to help to restore natural peatlands and sequester carbon.
Check out our videos below on how we are supporting nature:
Watch how Speedy Hire has launched a new project aimed at supporting peatland restoration in the UK’s boglands. Partnering with construction company Sisk, together they have invested a total of £10,000 into the local environment.
In this seminar recorded at Speedy Live Expo 2024 in Liverpool we hear from Mathew and Tilly from Hydrock, who explore the importance of decarbonisation and reaching net zero as well as social value.
