This is how memories and sustainability can be combined 

In an unexpected collaboration, Click A Tree and Wellborg Funeral Home have created a meaningful connection that not only protects the environment, but also provides comfort and remembrance.

The funeral home, which has been providing sensitive and empathetic support to mourners for decades, was looking for new ways to offer the bereaved a very special way to honor their loved ones.

At the same time, the institute endeavored to make a positive contribution to environmental protection  and to promote sustainability.

This is where Click A Tree came into play – together they developed an innovative concept: since then, trees have been planted for the deceased to honor their memory and at the same time make a sustainable contribution to the environment. 

The collaboration between Click A Tree and the funeral home has shown how two seemingly different areas – coping with grief and protecting the environment – can be harmoniously combined.

By working together, they have created a sustainable way of preserving memories and making the world a better place at the same time.

Almost 500 trees have already been planted and almost 500 kilograms of plastic removed from the oceans.

Continuous improvement through customer feedback

The future-oriented logistics company
trans-o-flex has recognized that customer feedback is invaluable.

Quarterly customer surveys enabled the company to obtain direct feedback on its services in order to respond quickly to customer concerns and make continuous improvements.

As part of its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection, trans-o-flex initiated an impressive tree-planting campaign. Taking part in the surveys created an opportunity to do something meaningful for the environment. In collaboration with Click A Tree, two trees were planted for every response. Over 2,600 trees have been created in this way.

However, this initiative goes beyond simply planting trees. trans-o-flex decided to plant additional trees for every new customer or business expansion in order to further strengthen its commitment to the environment.

There are now just under 4,000 trees in the trans-o-flex forest.

• Comfort conference package (one tree is planted for every two participants)
• Green meetings (one tree is planted for every one participant)

Positive feedback from guests

The Papageno in Constance offers sophisticated Central European cuisine with influences from France: classic cuisine, interpreted in a modern and seasonal way.

Patrick Stier and his young team have already received several awards for their outstanding work. Many regulars, but also tourists, regularly visit the restaurant on the Swiss border. The gourmet menus, which are also available in vegetarian versions, are particularly popular. For each of these menus, a tree is planted in Ghana and the guests thank us with positive feedback.

Guests are enthusiastic about the opportunity to plant a tree by eating a gourmet menu. Over 1500 trees have already been planted with Click A Tree. In addition to reforestation, the two entrepreneurial schools in Ghana are also supported.

Guests can find information about the cooperation on the menu and the Papageno team is also happy to provide information about the project in Ghana.

A sustainable success story

The St. Ottilien forest restaurant has been in existence for 500 years and is not only a popular destination for people in Freiburg. The restaurant has been a Click A Tree cooperation partner since 2020. The media became aware of the successful partnership right at the beginning of the collaboration and reported on the sustainable commitment of the traditional company. Guests give consistently positive feedback for the sustainable monthly dish. Some visitors come every month just to try the new Green Gastro dish, giving a big boost to sales.

What we have achieved together is impressive:

Over 4,000 trees have been planted to date, with more than 1,800 trees planted in 2023 alone.

These fantastic figures underline the great partnership that really benefits everyone.

Comment

from Lili, the owner of the Waldrestaurant St. Ottilien:

Simple implementation for quick success

The Best Western Parkhotel Weingarten has only been planting trees together with Click A Tree since mid-August 2023. This has been very successful, however, with 561 trees already planted.

This shows how quickly and easily a cooperation can be successfully implemented.

The economic added value: saving costs and relieving staff while promoting sustainable commitment

Guests of the Best Western Parkhotel Weingarten have the option of dispensing with the daily cleaning service. As a result, one tree is planted in Ghana for every one that is given up.

In addition to positive media attention, there are also economic benefits:

Saving on cleaning agents

Saving water

Savings in personnel costs

The decreasing number of room cleanings solves the often existing staff shortage. The existing workforce will be additionally relieved.

Best practice example: Travel groups have already planted several hundred trees

The Parkhotel in Weingarten is the destination for many coach tours. With the support of the tour guides, entire tour groups sometimes do without daily cleaning and thus support the project in the tropics.

All guests are also informed about this option for their stay by the reception staff at check-in, because individual guests – whether business or leisure – are also enthusiastic about this project.

Guests are informed about the collaboration with Click A Tree:

Information at check-in

Information board in the lobby

Display stands in the rooms

Digital guest folder

Comment
