The Venta Forest: A Sustainable Project in Our Anniversary Year

At Venta, We are Thinking beyond today and keeping an eye on the future

What has made Venta great over the last 40 years especially applies in the anniversary year 2021. In a piece of woodland near Lüdenscheid in North Rhine-Westphalia, the company is planting a tree for every employee to mark its 40th anniversary. More than 200 native trees, including oaks, larches, chestnuts, maples, firs as well as life and fruit trees, were planted in December, thus setting the beginning for the Venta forest.

Nature and the environment have long played a major role at Venta. It was the smog alarms of the late 1970s that inspired company founder Fred Hitzler to build the first Airwasher. Today, the company’s own bees are buzzing at its headquarters and all additives for the devices are biodegradable and therefore harmless. The Venta Forest is now another Venta contribution to the environment.

The company with headquarters in Weingarten on Lake Constance supports the PLANT-MY-TREE® project with 200 trees – one per employee. Each employee receives a tree certificate with information about the tree number and location. With this contribution to environmental and climate protection, Venta is officially a climate protection partner of PLANT-MY-TREE®.

This past summer, we symbolically planted the first tree during the anniversary celebration on the premises of the company headquarters in Weingarten. 

Since joining “every tree counts” we have a community link as part of this Venta project. Follow us along the journey here! Here employees, customers, business partners, as well as any nature lover can have more trees planted through PLANT-MY-TREE®-Shop.
