500 trees say Thank You

Dec 16, 2024

HB Protective Wear regularly conducts customer surveys in order to continuously improve its products and services and further adapt them to the needs of its customers. This year, HB Protective Wear has decided to plant 500 trees in the local forest as a thank you for the active participation. At the beginning of November, the chestnuts selected by the responsible forester as a sensible form of reforestation were planted.

Numerous colleagues were present and, like the volunteers from the local fire brigade, were equipped with sturdy shoes and fleece jackets as well as suitable tools and plenty of good humour


From 8.30 a.m. it was time to get to work. The meeting point was the fire station, from where they headed to the forest area selected for the planting campaign, which was already marked with a sign. Young and old alike took to the shovel with great vigour, so that the 500 young trees were firmly planted in the ground in practically no time at all.

‘We are delighted that 500 young trees are now taking root in the Westerwald,’ adds Carmen Hummerich, Environmental Management Officer atHB Protective Wear. ‘In this way, we are all making a valuable contribution to the preservation of local nature!’


The reason for the planting campaign was the customer survey that HB Protective Wear regularly carries out. As a thank-you for the active participation in this year's survey, HB decided to plant 500 trees in the local forest - with great success and lots of fun including drinks and food for everybody who helped!

‘The customer survey has given us valuable insights into what we can adapt to further increase satisfaction. The opinion of our customers is very important to us, as this is the only way we can continuously improve our service and our products with regard to specific requirements,’ says Klaus Berthold, owner of HB Protective Wear. ‘We would like to thank everyone who took a few minutes of their time for HB and took part in the customer survey.’
