Inc. Names AccuShred as a 2024 Power Partner Award Winner For a Second Year

The annual list recognizes the country's leading B2B companies that have proven track records of supporting entrepreneurs and helping companies grow

TOLEDO, OHIO - October 22, 2024- For the second consecutive year, AccuShred, a NAID-certifiedhigh-security data protection company, announced that it has been recognized by Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping the future, through its third annual Power Partner Awards.

Companies on the Inc. Power Partner Award list received top marks from clients for being instrumental in helping leadership navigate the dynamic world of startups. These B2B partners support entrepreneurs across various facets of business, including hiring, compliance, infrastructure development, cloud migration, data protection, fundraising and more, allowing founders to focus on their core missions.

This year, AccuShred was honored among 359 companies in marketing and advertising, health and wellness, financial services, legal, logistics, public relations and productivity, as well as other critical areas of business.

"Being named an Inc. Power Partner for the second year in a row is a tremendous honor for us," said Nate Segall, president of AccuShred. "This recognition reflects the trust and appreciation our clients have in our ability to support their growth and navigate challenges in today's evolving business landscape. We take pride in building strong, lasting relationships with our clients, and this award is a testament to the dedication and expertise our team brings to every partnership."

As a true community partner, AccuShred works to support causes important to its team members, customers and industry. New in 2024, AccuShred partnered with Evertreento plant one tree for every ton of paper shredded and recycled each month, and an additional five trees for each new customer who signs up for recurring services, aiming to plant 2,500 trees annually. This initiative supports efforts to combat deforestation, protect habitats in 12 countries and address the climate crisis. Since starting this endeavor in June, AccuShred has planted 1,013 trees across Honduras, Madagascar and Nepal.

Additionally, AccuShred reached a significant milestone in its fight against breast cancer, donating a total of $200,000 to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Northwest Ohio Affiliate throughout its "Shred Cancer" program. This initiative allows customers to use secure Pink Shred Bins for sensitive document destruction, with each donation matched by AccuShred, ensuring 100% of the funds support breast cancer research and awareness. As one of the first in the industry to introduce Pink Shred Bins, AccuShred set a new standard for its impactful community efforts.

"This is our definitive listing of vendors and suppliers who have demonstrated excellence in serving small- and midsize customers," says Inc. editor in chief Mike Hofman. "As part of the vetting process, our team of editors, researchers and reporters gathered information on companies' products and services, assessed their reputation as captured in online comments and forums, and collected customer testimonials to ensure that the sales pitch matches the actual client experience. In every case, we spoke to founders like you who were happy to attest to a vendor's genuine commitment to a mutually beneficial business partnership. We're happy to be the conduit for that positive word of mouth."
