Social Responsibility

Supporting Our Communities

Our social commitment includes work that benefits the communities in which we operate. BrightView regularly donates time, expertise, materials, and financial resources in support of worthy organizations across the U.S., helping our communities prosper and thrive.

In every region in which we operate, BrightView teams are offering our resources – financial, technical and human – to improve the lives of others. In addition to donated landscapes for schools, civic organizations and groups that honor military service, BrightView is committed to helping restore communities ravaged by natural disasters. A recent example of BrightView’s commitment to communities is the donation of more than $320,000 in landscaping design, installation and maintenance work to Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park, home of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.

Supporting Our Teams

Being part of the BrightView team means being highly valued. From our commitment to workplace safety to programs designed to help team members build skills and advance their careers, we dedicate significant resources to protect, promote, and nurture our team members. We are highly focused on employee engagement, development, wage dynamics, career progression and personal ownership and accountability across all levels of tenure and seniority.

BrightView believes in supporting the wellness of our team members and their families. A competitive medical, dental, and vision benefits program is available to BrightView employees and participation in BrightView’s 401(k) plan. A centrally administered equity program and customized training programs are available to all team members.

BrightView Landscapes Foundation

The BrightView Landscapes Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization created to provide financial aid to BrightView team members or their family members who experience hardship, such as natural disasters, illnesses, injury and death. The Foundation is funded through donations from BrightView team members who have the option to participate via payroll deductions, as well as third party donors and matching contributions from the company.
