STIHL, the family-owned company, has announced a substantial decrease in their direct carbon emissions (Scope 1 and 2) for 2022. As detailed in the company’s 2022 Sustainability Report, the decrease of 43% was primarily due to their switch to green electricity.
The company has launched several initiatives to live up to their sustainability responsibilities. By 2030, STIHL intends to reduce their oil and natural gas consumption by 40% compared to 2019. To reach this goal, they have identified more than 100 individual measures worldwide with a focus on technological advancements.
In order to create circular products and reduce plastic usage, STIHL has launched a pilot project to investigate the potential of a fully circular clearing saw and projects to reduce plastic packaging and carbon emissions. The company aims to save more than 100 metric tons of plastic by the end of 2023.
To promote sustainability in their supply chains, STIHL has expanded their main purchasing criteria to include sustainability-oriented aspects. Additionally, they have started analyzing potentially critical supply chains as a whole, with a focus on magnesium, cobalt, and textiles.
Dr. Michael Prochaska, STIHL Executive Board member for Human Resources and Legal Affairs and in charge of sustainability at the Group, said: “Through our sustainability activities, we hope to make a positive contribution to climate change mitigation, work more resource-efficiently, and continue ensuring fair working conditions in order to keep making it easier for people to work in and with nature going forward.”
