Gripsure and Sustainability

FSC^® and PEFC™

Working in an ethical and sustainable way for the long term benefit of the environment is at the heart of everything Gripsure does. It starts with purchasing timber that is sourced from sustainable forests, certified under the industry flagship standards of FSC and PEFC.

Both PEFC and FSC are committed to achieving the same objectives – the certification of forests to credible, independently verified standards of responsible forest management and the two certification schemes operate a chain of custody process that traces material through the supply chain from the forest to the end-user.

From there Gripsure have looked to introduce new and exciting products such as bamboo, Accoya and Kebony which are incredibly positive for the environment and are offered as greener alternatives to hardwoods.

GRIPSURE'S TEAM DAY 2020

As a result of Covid-19, the Gripsure team day was a little different this year, but we didn't let it stop us! From our homes, scattered across the UK and France, we each completed a 5KM run as part of a virtual race organised by Earth Runs.

Earth Runs is an organisation based on two passions; promoting exercise as a positive action for the body and mind, and the second is the environment. They have combined the two and now arrange virtual races for people to enter from anywhere in the world! Each completed race earns a number of trees which they plant in areas depleted by deforestation in a bid to reverse this damage and recreate the habitats for thousands of species. To date they have planted over 3000 trees.

We're proud to share that as a team we achieved:
