Sustainability Governance
Our Goal is Being Brilliant at the Basics
Delivering a great sustainability strategy needs great foundations. Being brilliant at the basics enables Speedy Hire to actively deliver sustainability leadership to achieve our sustainability targets and ensure a fair and inclusive transition to a low carbon economy overseen and guided by a robust governance framework to enable timely, informed and integrated decision making.
Since its launch The Decade to Deliver strategy has energised our work to build on our strong track record as an industry leader in sustainability.
In FY2024 we undertook a double materiality ESG assessment helping us to focus on the issues that matter most to our internal and external stakeholders which includes:
Waste and Circular economy, Health, Safety and Wellbeing, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Modern Slavery and Human Rights and Responsible Sourcing.
Check out our FY2024 sustainability report for more information on our materiality assessment.
