In a tribute to America’s fallen heroes and in honor of Veterans Day, Precision Textiles, in partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, 2,500 trees have been planted at Florida’s Eglin Air Force Base. Part of the company’s ongoing ‘PRESERVING the PLANET’ initiative, the project will enhance the base’s nearly 500,000-acre landscape and reflects the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship as a lasting tribute to honor military service.
“In celebration of Veteran’s Day and as dedicated stewards of the environment, this tree planting project allows us to honor our courageous servicemen and women by fostering a greener future for generations to come,” said Scott Tesser, CEO of Precision Textiles. “Each tree we plant represents our profound gratitude and respect for those who protect our freedoms and serves as a living tribute to the commitment and sacrifices made by service members. Just as they dedicate themselves to protecting our nation, Precision Textiles is committed to safeguarding the planet and we are proud to create this living tribute to our military heroes.”
Precision Textiles has long championed environmental protection through its ‘PRESERVING the PLANET’ initiative, fostering a conscientious approach to manufacturing. The transformative effort underscores the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship—not only by creating sustainable products, but also by actively contributing to global conservation. The 2,500 trees will help preserve natural landscapes at Eglin Air Force Base for years to come by reducing erosion, providing wildlife habitat, and enhancing air quality—benefiting both the environment and those who serve our country.
Precision Textiles ‘PRESERVING the PLANET’ initiative focuses on improving how the company conducts business and is based on three core pillars: improving environmental, social and governance practices (ESG); enhanced business alignment and verifying positive impact to the planet. This means, producing products that bolster efforts toward the company’s ESG commitments by aligning product innovations with consumer needs and environmental concerns, ensuring they meet customer expectations while allowing for both independent and internal tracking to monitor progress toward goals and objectives.
On this Veterans Day, Precision Textiles extends its heartfelt appreciation to the service members of Eglin Air Force Base and to all military personnel worldwide who protect and preserve the freedoms of the United States of America.
