We place our people at the heart of our mission, fostering a secure and healthy workplace guided by a dedicated philosophy of care and prevention. We empower our global team by investing in continuous learning and technical expertise, providing the tools necessary to lead our innovative transition into the future of gardening.

We remain firm in our commitment to a “Zero Harm” philosophy, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all our people. In 2025, we successfully achieved re-certification for ISO 45001:2018 at our production sites in Italy, China, and Slovakia. Our proactive approach is driven by the rigorous monitoring of “Near Misses” and the requirement to close 100% of identified corrective actions within the same month.

Maintaining the UNI PdR 125:2022 “Gender Equality” Certification for our Italian operations, which was confirmed in 2025, represents a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to a fair and equitable workplace. This recognition is supported by a comprehensive policy framework designed to ensure transparency and meritocracy while prohibiting discrimination based on gender, age, or nationality. A key pillar of this strategy is the STIGA Talent Map, which identifies high-potential female employees and supports their transition into senior management roles through targeted professional development and mentorship.
The implementation of these efforts is monitored by a dedicated Steering Committee for Gender Equality to ensure continuous progress and alignment with our 2024-2030 ESG strategy. Our people are at the heart of our operations: a global team of over 1,400 individuals whose unique perspectives and collective expertise are guided by our core values of Simplicity, Unity, and Integrity. We are proud to foster a resilient organizational culture that champions respect for the person and empowers everyone to reach their full potential.

We are actively committed to reducing our carbon footprint. Our focus is on optimizing energy consumption across our operations and accelerating our transition toward low-carbon solutions. By improving production efficiency and minimizing emissions, we strive to mitigate our impact on the climate while ensuring the long-term sustainability of the environments our products care for.

We care about our employees and their well-being. We ensure that they operate in a safe, inclusive, and stimulating work environment, fostering a healthy balance between work and home life. We are dedicated to helping our people develop their full potential by providing the training, resources, and support they need, whenever and wherever they need it.

We operate with integrity, transparency, and rigorous oversight. Our governance framework ensures full compliance with international ethical standards and internal procedures. We are committed to the responsible management of our entire supply chain and the diligent protection of both company and consumer data, ensuring accountability at every level of our business.
