Every online banking contract plants a tree: Gummersbach takes action!
The Sparkasse Gummersbach and the “Alliance of the Future Forest” are sending a strong signal for environmental protection with an innovative tree planting campaign. For every new online banking contract that is concluded, a tree is planted - a concrete step towards reforestation and the promotion of local forests in the region. This campaign was officially launched in Nümbrecht at the end of November 2024 with the first plantings. Frank Grebe, CEO of Sparkasse Gummersbach, emphasizes the company's responsibility towards the region and the people living there. “With this tree planting campaign, we not only want to make a contribution to reforestation, but also inspire our customers to actively work towards a future worth living,” explains Grebe.
An important contribution to climate protection
The initiative aims to raise awareness of local climate action while having a positive impact on the environment. The Sparkasse Gummersbach and the “Alliance of the Future Forest” hope to send a strong signal for nature conservation in the region through this combination of customer service and environmental awareness. Those interested can find out about the opportunity to actively participate in the project on the Sparkasse platform, as described in the Sparkasse Gummersbach press area. This creates a direct connection between banking services and sustainable environmental work, which brings both economic and ecological benefits.
