STIHL has its roots in forestry. Protecting nature and preserving the foundations of life for future generations is deeply ingrained in our consciousness.

People and education

STIHL grows with the skills and knowledge of all its employees. We therefore focus on fair pay, flexible working time models, comprehensive training opportunities and exemplary health protection. 

More about STIHL

Sustainability as a fundamental principle

Sustainable operation means thinking and acting in our long-term interests, which is one of the fundamental principles that has made our company so successful since it was founded by Andreas Stihl in 1926. Then, as now, it applied to all areas – not only commercially, but also to environmental and social aspects. Everything we do is according to a specific plan; a plan to facilitate steady organic growth, strengthen our competitive position, provide stability even during crises and create secure jobs – all without overlooking the needs of the environment and society.

In our climate strategy we have defined short, medium and long-term measures that determine what climate protection actions are taken throughout the company. Our ultimate goal is to no longer leave a CO₂ footprint as the STIHL Group, and achieve climate neutrality worldwide.
