Petrex and local school Thomaeum stand together against discrimination

Petrex and local school Thomaeum stand together against discrimination

Last month, Petrex proudly supported Thomaeum School in hosting impactful anti-discrimination workshops for young adults. Professionals from Bildungspark Mönchengladbach led a session called “Offside,” engaging participants with essential concepts, discussions about values, and activities that encouraged them to take a stand.

This marked the first training course we have been able to support since formalizing our cooperation with Thomaeum. Petrex stands firmly for diversity and equality, and we oppose discrimination in the strongest terms. We are honored to contribute to promoting awareness and inclusivity in our local community.

Petrex supports local afforestation as a cooperation partner of PLANT-MY-TREE ®

Petrex supports local afforestation as a cooperation partner of PLANT-MY-TREE ®

Petrex is always looking for exciting projects to support. Today, we are proud to announce a new partnership with PLANT-MY-TREE®.

We have a tradition of supporting initiatives that promote environmental and climate protection. To make the impact more visible and meaningful for our employees, we chose a local partner this time. PLANT-MY-TREE® has been conducting reforestation projects for CO₂ compensation throughout Germany since 2007. In addition to initial plantings, PLANT-MY-TREE® has implemented forest conversion and protection projects since 2020, placing special emphasis on biodiversity.

Their sustainable tree plantations are located mainly on their own sites. Projects are designed to last at least 99 years, during which no deforestation or commercial use occurs — reinforcing PLANT-MY-TREE’s® long-term climate protection goals.

PLANT-MY-TREE® offers its partners an experience where our employees can personally participate as the new forest we support is created. This makes climate and environmental protection tangible and real for everyone involved.

Through this partnership, we have planted 250 trees, compensating approximately 55 tons of CO₂ emissions.

We invite our employees and partners to join us at upcoming planting events and witness climate action firsthand.

Golden Week holiday in China 1-8 October 2025

Golden Week holiday in China 1-8 October 2025

China National Day, officially the National Day of the People’s Republic of China, is annually celebrated on October 1st to commemorate the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Usually Chinese people enjoy a 7-day public holiday, which is known as Golden Week. This year however, the Golden Week will run from October 1 to October 8, an extended eight-day period that combines the National Day on October 1 with the Mid-Autumn Festival on October 6. To facilitate this extended break, the public holidays on September 28 (Sunday) and October 11 (Saturday) are designated as working days. 

During Golden Week 2024 in China, a record-breaking 826 millon trips were recorded, with a significant economic boost of over 754 billion yuan in tourism spending. This surpasses pre-pandemic figures and marks a major post-pandemic revival of tourism for both domestic and international travel, making it one of the busiest holiday periods in China
