On Earth Day and every day, BrightView, the nation’s leading commercial landscaping company, reaffirms its commitment to environmental stewardship. BrightView is dedicated to fostering a greener, more sustainable planet by focusing on three key environmental priorities: greener fleet, water conservation, and ecosystem preservation.
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance the use of renewable energy sources, BrightView has invested in battery-operated lawnmowers, handheld equipment, and electric and hybrid automobiles. Last year, the company purchased almost 1,000 new electric pieces of equipment and 400 new hybrid or electric vehicles.
BrightView also provides superior irrigation management services to clients, including smart irrigation controllers, turf conversion, and xeriscaping. This approach can reduce water use by up to 60%, helping to combat drought conditions and local government water restrictions.
In addition, BrightView plants tens of thousands of trees, shrubs, and patches of grass each year as part of its best-in-class landscaping efforts. In collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation, BrightView will plant 300,000 trees in 2023. These plantings help to purify the air, filter the water, and store carbon.
“As landscaping stewards, operating in an environmentally-friendly manner is the keystone to BrightView’s core business beliefs,” said Andrew Masterman, BrightView President and Chief Executive Officer. “We take great pride in setting the industry standard to ensure future generations benefit from our responsible way of how we serve our customers and communities where we live, work and play.”
The use of battery-powered technology is becoming increasingly popular in the landscaping sector. Battery-operated landscaping tools offer numerous advantages such as less noise, less emissions, and less maintenance. Smaller battery-powered garden tools have lengthy operating intervals between charges, while larger battery-powered garden tools such as mowers and electric tractors are also becoming more widely available.
This Earth Day, BrightView team members nationwide will volunteer their time and participate in enhancement projects and local events to make a positive impact in their communities. These activities include renovating and rejuvenating community centers’ gardens and flower beds, cleaning up and revitalizing cemeteries and public spaces, planting trees, building pollinator boxes, releasing ladybugs, and distributing educational materials and flower seeds at client locations.
