Program offers companies a way to deliver a team-building opportunity and foster good corporate citizenship
Milwaukee Tool Canada, a subsidiary of Techtronic Industries Co. Ltd. (TTI), celebrated its centennial year recently with a tree planting event in partnership with Tree Canada.
The 100-year anniversary tree planting event took place at Cedar Grove Park in Markham, Ont.
The event – held on May 10 – emphasized the company’s sustainable manufacturing that takes care of the environment, according to the company.
“I am incredibly proud to commemorate our 100th year by planting 100 trees,” said Craig Baxter, group president of TTI Canada.
“Our team has demonstrated their resilience and dedication by creating innovative solutions and disrupting the jobsite making Milwaukee Tool the largest power tool company in the industry today. We are thrilled to be planting a tree on behalf of every year we have been in business, and it serves as a reminder of our steadfast commitment to the environment as well as what we can accomplish when we work as one team.”
With its tree planting drive, Milwaukee Tool Canada aims to build a habitat for wildlife, birds, mammals and insects, the company said.
Baxter noted that customers can expect more innovations from the company.
“It’s been an honour to lead a talented team of colleagues and we would like to thank our team of partners, customers and colleagues for their support in helping us achieve 100 years of business. Just look at what we’ve brought to market so far. You can only imagine how many solutions and the type of capabilities we will provide in the future, and we are just getting started,” he said.
Milwaukee Tool Canada’s partnership with Tree Canada is part of their “Partners in Planting” program. The program offers companies a way to deliver a team-building opportunity and foster good corporate citizenship. Tree Canada secures trees, a planting site and all the logistics, allowing company teams to enjoy the event while doing something positive for their community.
