About this Report

This Sustainability Report sets out the sustainability actions and initiatives undertaken by STILL GmbH (“STILL” in this report) within the European Economic Area, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) during the 2023 reporting year. STILL GmbH was first founded by Hans Still back in 1920 based on creativity, entrepreneurial spirit and high quality standards, and has since developed into a prominent brand with a strong international reputation. Today the company is part of the KION Group and a leading supplier of internal logistics solutions, with a portfolio that includes forklift trucks, warehouse trucks, networked systems, and support services.

The following report uses a combination of facts and figures to describe the strategies, initiatives, targets, and key performance indicators employed by STILL to manage and measure its actions towards a sustainable future.

Reporting Period and Scope

This STILL Sustainability Report covers the 2024 financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2024. The report covers all STILL consolidated companies based in 18 countries in the EMEA region (operational structure), including their plants and sales and service organizations.

As part of the KION Group, STILL remained a core brand within the KION ITS EMEA Operating Unit during the 2024 financial year.

As a fully consolidated subsidiary of the KION Group, STILL must be the subject of a separate non-financial report in accordance with Sections 315b and 315c in conjunction with Sections 289c to 289e of the German Commercial Code (HGB). This obligation is fulfilled by the sustainability reporting of the parent group, since the Group non-financial report—based on the material issues identified through the regularly updated Group-wide double materiality analysis—forms part of Group sustainability report in the KION Group Annual Report 2024.

The extensive requirements of the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) have also been fully implemented on a voluntary basis in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). The KION Group’s sustainability report is an integral part of the consolidated management report in the annual report for the first time and has been subject to a voluntary limited assurance engagement. The independent auditor’s report is available in the KION Group Annual Report 2024.

Recording of Data and Information

The standardized key performance indicators (KPIs) in this report were collected from a total of 34 reporting units. For six production and administrative sites—known as plants—the data was collected individually, while the 28 reporting points for sales and service organizations partly comprise data from multiple sites. Any deviations in this data recording are highlighted at the appropriate point; for instance, in exceptional cases where not all employees or subsidiaries are included in this report.

The figures in this Sustainability Report have been rounded, so there may be discrepancies between the totals listed for individual entries in the tables and the overall totals indicated, as well as between the figures in the tables and the corresponding analysis within the body text of the report. All percentage adjustments and KPIs have been calculated based on the underlying data.

Data collection, which forms the main basis for the key figures contained in this report, is ensured across the company through internal reporting systems.
