Recently, Sarah Schaefer, ESG Director at Wrightbus, sat down with us to explore how the KEY ESG platform is helping to drive deeper collaboration and improve data robustness across the HYCAP fund’s portfolio companies. By centralising sustainability reporting in a single system, Wrightbus can benchmark carbon performance, flag inconsistencies in data quality, and make more strategic, holistic decisions across its broader group.
In the interview, Sarah explained how KEY ESG supports Wrightbus in strengthening its Scope 1 and 2 emissions reporting, and how it is being configured to manage Scope 3 and supply-chain emissions more efficiently in the next phase. As HYCAP and Wrightbus are wholly focused on driving net-zero, the platform also enables them to embed impact metrics directly, so beyond measuring scopes 1–3, they can tell the full sustainability story in one place.
Sarah leads Wrightbus’s sustainability strategy across zero-emission transport, supply-chain decarbonisation, and social impact. With senior roles previously at Electrolux, Unilever, and Mars, and experience advising UK government, she brings deep expertise in aligning sustainability with innovation, policy, and behavioural change.
Wrightbus is leading the way in zero-emissions vehicles by driving the industry into a new era of energy efficient transport with its fuel cell vehicles. Wrightbus today employs more than 2,300 people (having grown from just 49 at the time of its 2019 rescue) and reported revenue of £455.1 million in its most recent year (up from £257.8 million in 2023).
