AUGUST 2024 – SUNBELT RENTALS Writer, Lorna, joined Rebecca for her first out-in-the-field trip to a Sunbelt Rentals Open Day. Along with a plethora of exciting stands showcasing machinery, what’s at the forefront of their mind? From investing in new green technology and innovating greener solutions that reduce harmful emissions to cutting our waste and consumption to protect the earth’s resources. INVESTING. INNOVATING. INSPIRING. “As a global company we have the buying power to not only invest in the latest low-carbon technologies, but to also collaborate with world-leading manufacturers to shape demand for the next generation of equipment.” FURTHER, FASTER When it comes to a greener, more sustainable future, it’s not just about changing the big things, it’s about everything. “Like moving to digital, paperless systems,” they explained. [We can attest to this as during their open day, when we asked for a leaflet, they didn’t have any! And not because they forgot them.] “Introducing water and energy saving equipment into our depots. And investing in electric, hybrid and Euro 6 compliant vehicles. Sunbelt says “We are committed to working responsibly - it’s in our DNA. Our Sustainability Plan 2025 aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We are committed to creating social impact and to achieving lasting legacies through our work. We collaborate with you and with our suppliers to help innovate and shape the next generation of environmentally friendly equipment. “We work with local communities around the UK, we help charities and help develop sustainable careers for disadvantaged groups. Our dedicated social impact team is working in line with Government recommended best practice, to capture the social value that we create.”
