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 we do. And that starts with purchasing timber that is sourced from sustainable forests.

It’s why all our timber is 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. The two certification schemes operate a chain of custody process that traces material through the supply chain from the forest to the end-user.

We also create non-slip decking using new and exciting materials such as bamboo, Accoya and Kebony, which are more sustainable than hardwoods.

GRIPSURE'S TEAM DAY 2020

Covid-19 meant our 2020 team day had to be a little different from usual. In true Gripsure style, we didn't let that stop us from doing something positive for the environment. 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 environment. Earth Runs organise virtual runs for people to enter from anywhere in the world. Each completed race earns a number of trees. Earth Runs plants the trees in areas depleted by deforestation in a bid to reverse this damage and recreate habitats for thousands of species. To date they have planted over 3,000 trees.

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