Tuesday 19th September 2023: Winter is coming. Inclement weather conditions calls for a business like today’s focus member – Accugrit.
Only founded in 2019, they quickly identified that specialist business support in winter maintenance services was the one area they could focus on to provide a better overall service to their clients
But this is not a sector that is easy to decarbonise. It was by using this ability to focus which has enable Accugrit to make amazing progress on the sustainability front as well as the cold front.
AccuGrit utilises supply chains local to a business/site. They also use the innovative Ice Melt de-icer, which is kinder to the environment than traditional rock salt.
But the most amazing change was the switch from importing brown salt from overseas; it now comes from a UK salt mine in Winsford Cheshire.
This should also help with habitat creation where the grit is extracted
Overall, these steps have made a huge difference and they are to be commended for the decisions they have taken.
The list goes on. They also only use recycled grit bins for all clients. The team have begun converting the fleet and company cars to EVs, and all vehicles are route optimised for the most efficient running.
Last Year they introduced a hybrid working model for all employees at HQ to reduce the overall energy output in the office and lower the commuting footprint
Their work on sustainability is well worth a closer look so, for more information visit www.accugrit.com
