Lobbying Governance

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Speedy Hire PLC discloses that it seeks to align its policy engagement with its climate ambitions, stating that "we therefore ensure that all engagement activities are aligned with [our Scope 1 and 2 Science Based Target] to ensure we stay on track to achieve our SBT" and confirming a "public commitment … to conduct [our] engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement." The company also references indirect lobbying oversight at senior level, noting that "Our CEO sits on the net zero Board of the Hire Association Europe (HAE)… [and] is also a council member for the Construction Plant Association (CPA)," which indicates some leadership involvement in trade-association engagement. However, beyond these high-level statements, we found no evidence of a defined internal governance framework—there is no description of how lobbying activities are monitored, what procedures or reviews are used to test alignment, nor any formal board or committee assigned to oversee lobbying strategy. The disclosure therefore signals intent to align lobbying with climate goals but provides limited detail on the mechanisms that would deliver accountability or systematic oversight. View Sources	1

Lobbying Transparency

Overall Assessment	Analysis	Score
Limited	Speedy Hire PLC provides a basic level of transparency on its climate-related lobbying. The company explains that its ESG Director participates in All-Party Parliamentary Group meetings and private business roundtables with MPs and other decision-makers, clearly describing two distinct mechanisms and identifying the UK parliamentarians they seek to influence. It also names the broad policy area of interest—energy-efficiency requirements—and links this engagement to the UK Government’s net-zero plans, but does not reference any specific bill, regulation or consultation. The disclosures only state a general intention to support environmental discussions and uphold climate commitments, without detailing concrete legislative changes or measurable targets the company wants to see adopted. As a result, while the channels and audiences for engagement are explained, the precise policies being lobbied and the outcomes sought are outlined only in general terms.	1
