THIS WORD IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY MORE IMPORTANT WORLDWIDE. AT STIHL, IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN PART OF THE CORPORATE CULTURE AND REMAINS A CONSTANT GOAL. BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND WHAT ISSUES ARE INVOLVED? GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF IT FINDING OUT WHETHER THE STATEMENTS BELOW ARE TRUE OF FALSE.
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY WE ARE REFERRING TO THE ENVIRONMENT
MYTH – Sustainability goes beyond concerns about nature. The concept is based on three pillars: social, environmental and economic. That is, to be sustainable, a company must be financially viable, socially fair and environmentally responsible.
THE GLOBAL REPORT PRESENTS THE COMPANY’S SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES
TRUE – The STIHL Group decided to make a specific report on sustainability for the first time this year. Published on May 31st by the Head Office, the document relied on important participation from different departments, showing some of the initiatives developed in the countries.
STIHL IS BUYING CARBON CREDITS
TRUE – The movement is aligned with the Group’s global strategy, which announced in 2020 that it is targeting climate neutrality, in order to reduce and compensate the emissions of CO2.
DIVERSITY IS NOT AT ALL RELATED TO sustainability
MYTH – Since sustainability also includes the social pillar, diversity is – at its core – related to the topic. A sustainable business, in the long-run, inevitably needs to rely on an equality and inclusion policy.
SUSTAINABILITY ACTIONS CAN BE ACHIEVED COLLECTIVELY
TRUE – Together, actions in search of a better and more sustainable society become stronger. In addition to its internal work, STIHL has partnerships with several different institutions and acts intensely in the community. #TogetherWeAreStronger
