Processes

We strive to achieve more with less — leveraging green energy, boosting self-generated electricity and adhering to the highest international standards alongside strict internal procedures. At the same time, we remain vigilant in safeguarding both company and consumer data with the utmost care and responsibility.

Safeguarding cybersecurity and protecting personal data are top priorities, and we continue to invest in advanced servers and secure networks to uphold the highest safety standards and reduce the risk of incidents. While our robust measures are designed to prevent breaches, one occurred in 2024. We promptly took all necessary actions to further enhance security and protect the integrity of our systems.

2024 Result: 1 breach

Reducing energy consumption per product remains a core objective, alongside our efforts to increase the use of renewable energy — both purchased and self-generated. After reaching 96% renewable electricity in 2023, we improved further in 2024, with 99% of our electricity now sourced from green energy. Significant progress was also made in self-generated electricity: the photovoltaic (solar power) system activated in May 2024 at our Italian plant contributed 22% of total energy used, while the system operating throughout the full year at our Chinese plant accounted for 29%.

2024 Result: 99% of electricity consumed by all plants and offices came from renewable sources

In 2024, reinforcing its commitment to transparency and environmental accountability, the company took the additional step of certifying its carbon footprint calculation methodology across Scopes 1, 2 and 3. As a result of this initiative, STIGA is on track to obtain ISO 14064-1 certification in early 2025, ensuring its carbon footprint assessment adheres to internationally recognised standards.

2024 Result: We gathered data on Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions from across the entire Group

“Assessing our carbon footprint is one small step in the journey we are on to improve the future of our planet. This has excited me the most from the beginning: a chance to make a difference by understanding the areas where we can reduce our impact on the climate. Then, with this information, we can start implementing emission reduction projects and, drop by drop, our efforts will add up to a sea of change.”

In 2024, STIGA continued to expand the number of suppliers enrolled in Sedex or an accepted equivalent platform, strengthening our commitment to responsible sourcing. A key milestone was the execution of our first ESG audits, with five conducted in total — some by our internal team and others by external auditors. These audits focused on identifying and mitigating the most critical risks outlined in the Sedex risk map, marking a significant step forward in our supply chain due diligence efforts.

2024 Result: By the end of 2024, we had enrolled 92% of our top suppliers in Sedex or an accepted equivalent platform

We care about our gardeners and their gardens, and we are committed to design and manufacture products with a lower environmental impact.

We care about our employees. We ensure that they operate in a safe and stimulating work environment, balancing work and home life, as well as helping them to develop their capabilities by giving them the power they need, when and where they need it.

We want to do more with less, using green energy, increasing self-production and complying with both the highest international standards and internal procedures. We diligently protect both Company data and consumer data.
