From urgency to action
Enormous headway has been made to make plant and equipment more sustainable across construction, infrastructure, civils, transport and events. With low emissions targets and a drive to Net Zero at the top of everyone’s To Do lists on an international, national and local level, it’s more important than ever to make wise choices with the kit we use.
Inherently plant hire and equipment sharing are more sustainable than outright ownership. Further impact can be made by consciously choosing kit with the environment in mind, and by operating more sustainably. At Hyra, we have a wealth of experience and product knowledge that enable us to offer you greener choices for your projects across your sites. We will do this through:
Asset innovation
In an age of record-breaking product development and change, we will bring sustainability pioneers with greener solutions to the fore.
Consultation
By understanding your projects, we will help you make environmentally conscious choices that work.
Pricing
Total costs include more than hire. We demonstrate the real costs of alternative kit (hire and running costs) versus the incumbent products.
Technology
Embracing innovations such as telematics and machine control to hire less, or perform less activity which, in turn, reduces carbon emissions.
Planning
By modelling carbon emissions for the different equipment options, more environmentally sound choices can be made.

Our commitment to decarbonisation
We are committed to leading by example. Informally, our operations are Net Zero for Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Our business model is low carbon by nature as we don’t own plant, we manage supply.
The positive impact we make is two-fold. Firstly, we help clients make environmentally conscious plant and equipment choices. Secondly, we reduce Scope 3 emissions by partnering with supply chain who run their operations more sustainably or supply greener solutions.
Here are some of the ways we demonstrate our commitment:
-
Embedding environmental, social and governance (ESG) policies into our business and training and upskilling our people
-
Working to 100% renewable electricity in all our offices
-
Our travel policy encourages use of public transport and ensures frequent drivers adopt electric cars and car share where practical
-
Transparency and working towards verifying our work with an accreditation body such as B Corp or ISO 20400:2017 Sustainable Procurement
-
Keeping up to date with the launch of new, innovative plant and equipment which offer more sustainable solutions
-
Ensuring we work with supply chain who have the same ambition as us
We are a responsible business, fully committed to doing the right thing by our planet. We actively help our clients reduce carbon and achieve their Net Zero goals. As a team we take pride in our product and market knowledge and have a particular interest in sustainable innovations and environmentally conscious operations .
