Leaving a mark for the future: celebrating Demant’s 120 anniversary
Demant was founded on care. In 1904 Hans Demant founded Demant by helping his wife Camilla with her hearing loss and since then Demant has helped millions of people living with hearing loss to enjoy life.
In 2024, Demant celebrates its 120 years anniversary. A lot has happened since the Demant family sold their first hearing aid, and today Demant is a world-leading hearing healthcare company that offers solutions, benefitting millions of people either living with hearing loss or working on alleviating hearing loss.
One of the company’s strengths is its international presence and the innovative ideas and diverse thoughts it brings to the group. To celebrate the rich history and diverse international presence, Demant set the ambition to plant 120 native species trees around the world, an initiative made possible thanks to the support of the company’s majority owner the William Demant Foundation.
Many different Demant locations have taken part in the project, and although the goal was 120 trees they managed to plant around 300 trees in total in Canada, USA, Brazil, Poland, Malaysia, Mexico, Singapore, France, Netherlands, USA and Denmark. The project led to engaging initiatives and events organized by dedicated employees across the Group.
The trees planted will live and grow over the many years and thus act as a symbol of Demant’s lasting legacy, long-term growth and success.
