STIGA, renowned for its comprehensive product portfolio catering to diverse garden tasks and seasons, continues to prioritize sustainability and kinder solutions across its range. The target consumers range from private householders with small gardens and balconies to owners of the most extensive and complex lawn surfaces.
Green Care and Sustainability
STIGA recognizes the pivotal role of nature in individual and collective health and well-being. Embracing the emerging concept of “Green Care,” STIGA advocates an active process that promotes health and well-being, rather than a passive engagement with nature. The team firmly believes that the natural environment should not merely serve as a backdrop but should be actively experienced through garden care. The company’s Sustainability Strategy is deeply rooted in this ethos, guided by three solid pillars: People, Products, and Processes.
Packaging
STIGA remains committed to advancing its packaging initiatives. In 2022, the team set a target to incorporate a minimum of 60% recycled materials into packaging across global production, ultimately surpassing this goal by achieving 61%. The company continues to explore opportunities to increase the use of recycled materials while maintaining the integrity and durability of its packaging.
Products
In 2022, STIGA successfully electrified a range of garden tools, including mowers for small to large gardens, hand-held tools for various gardening needs, and snow throwers. This achievement aligns with one of the core pillars of the company’s strategy: product electrification to contribute to a more sustainable planet. While designing products with sustainability in mind, STIGA also focuses on delivering added consumer benefits through battery-powered products.
Mulching
STIGA has long championed the potential of mulching, a technique that involves mowing the lawn without collecting grass clippings. Mowers cut the grass into extra-fine particles, which are then returned to the lawn to decompose and enrich the soil with valuable nutrients. Over 88% of the lawn care products sold in 2022 were “mulch-ready,” reflecting STIGA’s commitment to this environmentally-friendly practice.
Looking Forward to 2024
STIGA’s dedication to sustainability remains unwavering, and the company is gearing up for an even more comprehensive assessment of its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) opportunities and their environmental impact. This assessment will provide concrete facts and data to further strengthen the company’s sustainability improvement strategy.
