1,500 trees for the Nördlingen municipal forest

Baumpflanzaktion Destilla im Nördlinger Stiftungswald

As part of our 50th anniversary in 2019, we have decided to donate one euro per sent invoice for the planting of trees in our region in the future. In this way, we would like to make a small contribution and give something back to nature.

After we were able to plant 500 trees with the Bavarian State Forests at the beginning of 2020, the last tree plantings unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. So it was all the nicer to finally be able to start again.

This time, the planting area was the municipal forest of the city of Nördlingen. We have collected nearly 7,500€ since the last tree donation and were thus able to plant a total of 1,500 trees.

1,300 Bornmuller firs and 200 Oriental beech trees were brought in as seedlings by our apprentice and the foresters and are expected to cope better with climate change than their native relatives, the silver fir and copper beech. Destilla managing director Armin Thienel and Nördlingen’s mayor David Wittner also took the opportunity to plant some of the trees.

We would like to thank the city of Nördlingen and the forestry office for the great cooperation and are already looking forward to the next tree planting campaign.

Expansion of the e-fleet

With our new eCorsa, our electric vehicle fleet at Destilla has grown once again. Powered by our own PV system, our new car for daily city tour is completely emission-free.

We have placed particular emphasis on the design this time. Our typical Destilla colours of blue, green and grey continue to dominate the colour scheme. The big design feature, however, is now the silhouette of the city of Nördlingen by artist Wolfgang Balzer, who was happy to work with us on this great project.

As a company from Nördlingen with over 50 years of history, the values of home, family and tradition are particularly important to us. With the new design, we want to convey these values and create a small memento of our home.

Donations for Ukraine

Donations for Ukraine

We have already been able to carry out two fundraising campaigns at Destilla for Ukraine. Thanks to the active support of our staff, we were able to invest more than €1,000 in urgently needed hygiene articles, such as bandages and disinfectant spray, as well as drinking water, in a first campaign which was transported to Ukraine by our logistics partner.

In a second campaign, we collected urgently needed donations in cooperation with the Ukrainian Association Augsburg (UVA). Today we were able to hand them over for sorting in Augsburg and further transport to the crisis region. The chairwoman of the UVA, Olena Yaremko, expressed her heartfelt thanks for the generous materials from the ranks of the Destilla staff.

In the future, we will continue to jointly look for further possibilities of support and maintain the aid for Ukraine. We stand side by side with our Ukrainian friends and partners and hope for a quick calming of the situation.

Destilla joins network for family-orientation

Erfolgsfaktor Familie

Since August 2019, we have been part of the business network “Success Factor Family”, supported by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth and the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce.

As one of approx. 8,000 members, we are committed to a family-oriented personnel policy and contribute to making family awareness a central content in the German economy.

From part-time and home office offers to the arrangement of child care and company-supported care for relatives, to company festivities and employee events, Destilla already has numerous solutions for improving the compatibility of work and family.

As a family business, we are aware of the importance of these options and would like to expand them even further in the future so that we can find an individual solution for the needs of all employees.

Gold status in csr rating

Ecological, social and economic sustainability are very important to us. Especially in a time of increasing natural disasters and scarcity of resources, environmental protection and a mindful approach to nature are more important than ever. We therefore take the responsibility we bear as a company very seriously.

In 2017, we underwent a CSR rating by EcoVadis for the first time and were able to achieve silver status with 58 out of 100 possible points. During the last years, we have continuously improved to work even more sustainably and have again been awarded silver status.

In 2022, we were able to achieve the longed-for gold status with 72 out of 100 points for the first time. With this result, we belong to the top 3 percent of the participating companies. Consequently, we are very happy about our result.

Of course, we would like to maintain this ranking and continue to improve so that we can make a small contribution to making tomorrow’s world a little better.

Sponsorship to local music school

Music heals body and soul – we are convinced of this and are pleased about the new offer in Nördlingen.

There are currently only three music schools in Bavaria, which provide music therapy. In Regensburg and Passau, these therapies have existed for 20 years and recently Elisabeth Vogel has also started offering music therapy at the local music school in Nördlingen.

Especially during the Corona pandemic and the Ukraine-conflict, teenagers need “protected space where you can let yourself go”, explains the trained music therapist. In the colourful music room, you can find different extraordinary-looking instruments that are needed for music therapy. Mrs Vogel explains how the instruments work and the effects they have on children and teenagers. “The instruments are simply great”, the music therapist sums up happily.

Unfortunately, these instruments are extremely expensive because only a few of them are produced. We are glad to support the music therapy with 1,500 € for a table drum. Through further donations from regional companies, crowd-funding and private donors, the music therapy can start with good equipment and help people to find new happiness.
