Speedy Hire, a UK-based construction work company, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 313.5 million kg CO2e in 2026. This figure includes Scope 1 emissions of about 13.1 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of around 135,580 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling roughly 300.3 million kg CO2e.

Looking back, Speedy Hire's total emissions were approximately 282.7 million kg CO2e in 2025, 283.9 million kg CO2e in 2024, and 361.4 million kg CO2e in 2023. In 2020, total emissions were around 269.3 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 19.8 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at 4.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at 245 million kg CO2e.

Speedy Hire has made robust climate commitments. The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by FY2040, using a FY2020 baseline. This long-term target includes a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by FY2040.

For near-term targets, Speedy Hire Plc commits to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 51.6% by FY2030, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 42% within the same timeframe, both against a FY2020 baseline. These near-term targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions are consistent with a 1.5°C reduction pathway, going beyond the minimum requirement. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
