STIHL publishes its first sustainability report
The STIHL Group has published its first sustainability report, detailing the company’s sustainability strategy and activities. The title of the report, “Acting for Tomorrow,” reflects the philosophy by which the business has been guided since its founding over 95 years ago.
In 2021, STIHL developed a sustainability strategy with the goal of enhancing its previous sustainability policy, consolidating its efforts to date, and significantly stepping up its ongoing activities. The family owned business has set itself ambitious targets in three focal areas — ecosystems, circularity, and care — for the time between now and 2030. STIHL’s goal in doing so is to become climate-neutral and resource-efficient while acting fairly, as it has done in the past, to continue making it easier for people to work in and with nature. Part of the company’s aim in doing so is to make a measurable contribution to achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Dr. Nikolas Stihl, the grandson of company founder Andreas Stihl and Chairman of STIHL’s Advisory and Supervisory Boards, says: “As a business rooted in forestry, we have traditionally had a deep connection with the natural world. Since our livelihood depends on nature, everything we do has always been focused on people, nature, and their power to grow. That is what drives us — and that is what we want to keep driving.”

STIHL cuts carbon emissions and publishes 2022 Sustainability Report25.5.2023 13:52:48 CEST | Pressemeddelelse
Waiblingen, 25.05.2023 In 2022, STIHL cut its direct carbon emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by a substantial margin compared to the prior year. As detailed in the family-owned company’s 2022 Sustainability Report (https://sustainabilityreport.stihl.com/2022/), which it published on May 25, the 43 percent decline was primarily due to the conversion of the STIHL production companies worldwide to green electricity. STIHL has launched a variety of initiatives that are allowing it to live up to its responsibility in terms of sustainability. Switching to green electricity is a first step. By 2030, for example, STIHL intends to reduce the consumption of natural gas and oil by 40 percent Group-wide compared to 2019. To this end, the Group has identified more than 100 individual measures worldwide, with a special focus on technological advancements.

STIHL sets revenue record and focuses on dual technological leadership25.4.2023 11:00:00 CEST | Press release
Waiblingen, Germany - The STIHL Group finished the challenging fiscal year 2022 with record-breaking revenue of 5.5 billion euros, equating to growth of 8.6 percent compared to the previous year. As an international business, the company generated 90 percent of its revenue outside its domestic market of Germany. The rise was attributable in particular to currency effects, inflation-related price adjustments, and stronger demand for higher-price professional products. Excluding currency effects, revenue would have grown by 3.1 percent. As of Dec. 31, 2022, the STIHL Group employed 20,552 people, an increase of 2.3 percent year on year. Michael Traub, Chairman of the Executive Board of STIHL, says: “Our sales remained high in the fiscal year 2022. However, we recorded a slight decline in demand compared to the high-growth in previous years. That’s because 2022 was heavily influenced by economic and geopolitical challenges, such as disrupted supply chains, material shortages, war in Ukrai
