I’ve been proud to step into a business where sustainability is truly lived, not just discussed. From day one, it was clear that it’s not a ‘nice to have’, but a core part of our values, culture, and strategy.

How Gripple Solutions Help Our Customers Meet Their Sustainability Goals  

We pride ourselves on being a transparent supplier and creating products that help our customers decrease their environmental impact.

Our vertically integrated supply chain enables us to evaluate the impact of our products thoroughly. For instance, with our Fast Trak range, we maintain full visibility – from considering the environmental implications in our product design, to its manufacturing in our BREEAM excellent factory.

Our Sustainability Champions  

Sustainability isn’t just about data and systems, it’s about people.  

2024 saw the expansion of our Sustainability Champions network across every Gripple site.

These individuals are passionate advocates who bring sustainability to life and ensure we’re making an impact at every level of the business.

This collaboration has been invaluable, not only do the Champions help share key messages and lead local initiatives, but they also strengthen our understanding of site-level operations and bring forward ideas we might otherwise miss.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals

UN Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
  • Our Sustainability Champions network helps embed responsible practices across every Gripple site, driving initiatives that reduce waste, improve resource efficiency, and ensure our products and operations reflect genuine environmental commitment.
  • By switching from virgin polypropylene to reprocessed materials, we’re cutting embodied carbon, diverting plastic waste from landfill, and advancing circular economy principles, delivering sustainable, highquality products that support our customers’ own environmental goals
  • By transitioning from virgin zinc to a lower carbon alternative, we’re reducing upstream emissions, advancing circular economy practices, and delivering high quality products with a significantly smaller footprint, helping both Gripple and our customers meet sustainability goals
  • In 2024 we strengthened our emissions reporting, gaining clearer insight into our environmental impact and driving focused action. Through improved data capture, reductions in electricity emissions, and verified carbon offset projects, we are actively cutting our footprint and accelerating the transition to cleaner energy.
  • Following the transition away from PAS 2060:2014, we are strengthening our carbon management strategy refining emissions accounting, enhancing transparency, and maintaining likeforlike offsetting. These steps ensure our climate action remains robust, futurefocused, and aligned with evolving global standards

Our sponsorship of Riverlution supports the restoration and protection of Sheffield’s rivers and habitats, fostering community engagement and strengthening local conservation efforts to benefit people and wildlife.
