The construction sector is at a pivotal moment. Projects must now meet demanding expectations, delivering on cost, speed, and sustainability. With the growing importance of carbon reporting and the risk of greenwashing, accurate, expert guidance backed by validated data has never been more critical.
At Speedy Hire, we believe in providing our customers with purpose-led carbon management they can trust. Our guidance helps you make the right product choices to support whole-life cost and emission reduction, building with confidence and clarity.
To rise to this challenge, we’ve launched Speedy Hire’s Carbon Intelligence Service, designed to reduce risk, manage costs, and unlock actionable insights. This is more than compliance; it’s about climate resilience and commercial advantage. With Speedy Hire, you can go greener, faster, and lead the sector’s transition to Net Zero.
As the first and only PAS 2080:2023-verified offering of its kind in hire, our service goes beyond simply providing low-carbon alternatives. It combines three key pillars that deliver:
Backed by our decades of experience in the construction sector and our verified PAS 2080 management system, we provide tailor-made solutions underpinned by proven tools and processes. Helping you meet today’s demands and tomorrow’s expectations.
Carbon Intelligence Service is all about empowering customers with accurate, actionable carbon data- and our industry-leading Carbon Reporting Tool (CRT) delivers exactly that. Available through the MySpeedy App, the CRT goes far beyond a basic emissions calculator. It’s a dynamic, data-rich platform that continuously evolves to provide the most relevant and comprehensive insights.
It identifies performance trends, pinpoints emissions hotspots, and highlights opportunities for meaningful carbon reductions - benchmarking against thousands of products to guide smarter, more sustainable choices.
This dynamic tool, managed in-house at Speedy Hire, supports the reporting of change as it happens. Contractors can monitor, share, and generate reports instantly, with complete confidence in their accuracy, given that the tool’s methodology has been independently audited under PAS 2080.
As a core component of our PAS 2080-certified carbon management system, the CRT is not just a reporting tool - it’s a strategic enabler for our customers’ net zero journeys.
While carbon reporting provides visibility, it’s our people who help customers turn insights into meaningful change. With over a decade of experience across both the hire and ESG sectors, we offer a level of support that goes far beyond what traditional hire providers deliver. By working side-by-side with our customers, we gain a deep understanding of their unique pressures, priorities, and project realities. This collaborative approach allows us to bridge the gap between ambition and delivery, translating sustainability goals into achievable steps that don’t compromise performance.
Within our Carbon Intelligence Service, we created our Diesel Free Matrix Tool (DFM)- our industry-leading auditing tool. The DFM provides contractors with a comprehensive scorecard that evaluates the adoption of eco-technologies, integration of alternative fuels, and utilisation of renewable power sources. This level of visibility empowers project teams to understand not only what needs to change, but why.
With these insights, our team of sustainability and hire specialists work collaboratively with customers to develop corrective action plans that are practical, scalable, and easy to implement.
