Sustainability is built into Gripsure: from HVO-fuelled deliveries to FSC® & PEFC® softwood and carbon-negative bamboo, all backed by our ISO 14001 certification.
Sustainability and carbon neutrality
Stronger grip. Smaller footprint. Greener choice
“Success means more than growth. For me, it’s about building a business that puts the environment first in everything we do” Mike Nicholson, MD
At Gripsure, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We carefully measure our carbon footprint and take meaningful steps to reduce it across our operations. Our delivery vehicles run on HVO diesel, cutting emissions significantly compared to traditional fuels. We are proud to supply FSC®-certified sustainable softwood timber and MOSO® bamboo, a carbon negative material that actively helps to reduce global CO₂ levels. Our commitment is backed by ISO 14001 certification, ensuring robust environmental management. By choosing Gripsure, you are not only investing in high-quality decking solutions but also supporting a greener, more responsible future.
FSC® and PEFC
We are delighted to have been awarded ISO 9001, for quality management systems, and ISO 14001, for environmental management.
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 objective: the certification of forests to credible, independently, verified standards of responsible forest management. The two certification schemes operate a chain of custody process that trace materials through the supply chain from the forest to the end-user.
In addition to this, we produce non-slip deck boards using new and exciting materials such as Bamboo, Accoya® and Kebony, which are sustainable alternatives to tropical hardwoods.
Gripsure’s Global Forest
At Gripsure, we’re also proud to be running a carbon neutral website. Did you know that the average website produces 4700 pounds of CO2 every year? That’s the same as driving a modern car for more than 5000 miles!
With a helping hand from our friends at Tree-Nation we’re offsetting this carbon by planting trees around the globe, making our website officially carbon neutral whilst extending a positive impact to all four corners of the world!
We’re Making a Difference in Other Ways Too!
Every day we work hard to reuse and reduce any waste from the business. Whilst all our paper, plastic and timber wastage is recycled, we also collaborate with local craftsmen who innovatively up-cycle our decking offcuts into beautiful and unique products. One of our favourites is the bird boxes that are sold for charity.
