Acting for tomorrow

This publication is the third STIHL Sustainability Report. The report was prepared in accordance with the Sustainability Reporting Standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) for the period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. It outlines the strategy, targets, and activities of STIHL with regard to sustainability in 2023.

he consolidated group covered in the report differs from the one covered in the STIHL Annual Report. Unless stated otherwise, all data relates to the operating German STIHL locations (the founding company of the STIHL Group, ANDREAS STIHL AG & Co. KG, with eight locations in Waiblingen, Fellbach, Ludwigsburg, Weinsheim, and Wiechs am Randen, as well as STIHL Vertriebszentrale AG & Co. KG in Dieburg), along with all international STIHL production companies (U.S., Brazil, Austria, Switzerland, and China) and the ZAMA Group, with subsidiaries in China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Japan, and the U.S. The STIHL Group’s international sales companies, the U.S. company CS COSMOS STIHL Manufacturing Inc. (which was founded in late 2022), and Mogatec GmbH (a garden technology manufacturer based in Drebach, Germany, in which STIHL acquired a majority stake in March 2023) are not covered in this report, but will be included in future reporting efforts in accordance with legal requirements. The Sustainability Report was published in digital form at sustainabilityreport.stihl.com/2023 in May 2024 and is available in German and English. In the event of deviations between the two language versions, the German version takes precedence over the English translation. It was not subjected to external assurance. All forward-looking statements in this report were based on assumptions valid as of the editorial deadline. The actual results and developments may vary. The next STIHL Sustainability Report is scheduled for publication in spring 2025.
