“The whole process has been smooth from start to finish. The team made everything straightforward from the first call with Joe to working weekly with Dimi and Ivan. It’s been flexible, supportive, and completely tailored to how we work as a small business.”
— Rich Hodges, Managing Director, RH Electrical
The Client
RH Electrical is a family-run electrical contracting business based in Hull, serving industrial clients across the UK. Founded by Rich Hodges alongside his father and brother, the company has grown steadily to a six-person team with additional subcontractors supporting larger projects. Its clients include major manufacturers such as Wienerberger, a global leader in building materials. As a trusted contractor for multiple Wienerberger factories across the UK, RH Electrical plays a key role in supporting the company’s operations, from large-scale electrical installations to ongoing industrial maintenance.
The Challenge
When Wienerberger began its journey to net zero, it asked key suppliers like RH Electrical to align with its sustainability goals and achieve an EcoVadis certification. For a small, fast-moving contractor managing multi-site projects, this presented a significant new challenge – one that required expert guidance to understand reporting standards, compile the right policies, and complete both the carbon footprint report and the EcoVadis questionnaire on time.
The Solution
RH Electrical partnered with ESG Pro to accelerate its sustainability journey. After an initial consultation with Joe Gallagher, the project moved quickly under Ivan’s coordination, with weekly sessions led by carbon specialist Dimi. Together, they developed the company’s GHG emissions report, created essential documentation, and prepared a compliant EcoVadis submission. The process remained flexible and collaborative, ensuring minimal disruption to RH Electrical’s day-to-day operations.
The Result
The collaboration gave RH Electrical a clear, credible foundation for sustainability reporting and supplier compliance. Its carbon report and EcoVadis submission now showcase the company’s commitment to responsible growth, helping strengthen client trust and open new tender opportunities.
The experience also set the stage for continued progress, including pursuing ISO accreditations and higher EcoVadis ratings in future cycles.
