Help that gets to where it is needed

HS Timber Group, its subsidiaries and sister companies have been supporting humanitarian organisations for local and international initiatives for many years. Every year, they donate pellets to a hospital for chronically ill people in Romania and help victims of natural disasters, e.g. by donating to Caritas for earthquake victims in Syria.
