Sustainability report
Sustainability Report 2024
Sustainability remains a priority for the Group and is embedded within our core strategic actionable components. We believe renting equipment, rather than owning it, brings inherent environmental benefits. However, sustainability is broader than the environment. It also encompasses a focus on our people and the communities where we operate. In the year ended April 2024, we have further developed our sustainability efforts and reflected these within our new five-year strategic plan, Sunbelt 4.0. This sustainability report provides our stakeholders with insights into our sustainability-related activities, targets and performance across four priority areas: operations; customers; our people; and communities.
This report covers the period from 1 May 2023 to 30 April 2024, as well as providing some narrative as to ongoing activities. Data included represents Ashtead Group plc and its subsidiaries unless stated otherwise. This report should be read in conjunction with the disclosures provided within our Annual Report and Accounts 2024, which includes our disclosures in accordance with the standards and recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Disclosures.
