Change with Foresight
This year, we are publishing our first Integrated Corporate Report, which combines our Annual Report and Sustainability Report.
Despite global challenges, we can look back on a strong 2025 and ahead with confidence. Our battery journey continues, we are growing internationally, and we remain innovative for people and the environment. Change with Foresight means to us that STIHL stays reliable, invests with clear purpose, and actively shapes its path toward a successful and sustainable future.

Women in management positions at STIHL
Unfortunately, women are still rarely represented in management positions in many technology-oriented companies, including STIHL. We are committed to equal opportunities and want to explicitly encourage women to pursue careers at STIHL. For us, what matters is performance, skills and potential. With four female members, the proportion of women on the Supervisory Board of STIHL AG exceeds the required female quota of 30 percent.
At its meeting on June 24, 2025, the Supervisory Board of STIHL AG again set the target of “at least one woman” for the future composition of the Executive Board of STIHL AG. There is currently one woman among the five members of the STIHL AG Executive Board.

Certified management systems: The highest level of quality
At STIHL, our ISO 9001-compliant quality management system is an important component for meeting the requirements of our customers and forms the basis for a company that is constantly improving. It contributes to the successful development of the company by managing and continuously optimizing quality-relevant processes.
By means of its environmental management system, STIHL ensures that the company lives up to its environmental responsibilities. The system contributes significantly to the optimization of operational environmental protection and, in particular by saving resources, ensures that the targets defined in the STIHL climate strategy are achieved.
The STIHL occupational health and safety management system helps to identify and prevent work-related accidents and health risks, as well as to maintain and promote employee health through preventive measures.

Our magnesium die casting plant in Weinsheim (Germany) meets the stringent requirements of the IATF 16949 quality management system for suppliers to the automotive industry. In addition to ISO 9001 certification, this contributes to increased process quality at STIHL.
