HIGHLIGHT STORY OUR PEOPLE Davey Tree is defined by our people. Celebrating our 35th year as an employee-owned company, we aim to engage and inspire our employees to grow alongside our company. We recognize the challenges and opportunities to attract and retain employees from diverse backgrounds. We recruit talented candidates with a passion for trees and take pride in cultivating their professional development. We are proud of our employees' knowledge and expertise, and their commitment to safety and environmental protection. Davey Tree is proud to support and employ veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. Veterans' character align with Davey Tree qualities, including integrity, leadership, strong work ethic and the ability to thrive in dynamic work environments. Geoffrey Clark, a sales arborist in Akron, Ohio, with 18 years of service as a master sergeant in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, describes veterans as ideal fits for Davey Tree because "we are looking for people who will do what is asked the right way, the first time, even when nobody is watching. Military personnel fit the bill perfectly." 29 91% Male 9% Female 72% White 3% Black or African American 1% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 22% Hispanic 1% American Indian or Alaskan Native 1% Asian GENDER & ETHNICITY * * Ethnicity demographics are for the U.S. only and do not include Canadian facilities.
