STILL’s Sustainability Journey: Cultivating a Culture of Participation & Shared Responsibility

Photo STILL GmbH

In a world where sustainability is no longer optional, STILL is setting a powerful example by weaving environmental, ethical, and social standards into the fabric of its intralogistics operations kas.de+3moebelfertigung.com+3sustainability.still.eu+3. This commitment is evident across various strategic measures—resource stewardship, transparent sustainability reporting, vehicle and battery recycling, and respectful engagement with partners and employees—all of which reinforce STILL’s role in shaping the future of sustainable logistics.

Building a Shared Culture of Sustainability

STILL believes that genuine sustainability goes beyond policy—it must be actively lived. Dr. Florian Heydenreich, Managing Director, emphasizes:

“Sustainability is nothing you can just ‘introduce’ as a company… it must be actively lived and naturally embedded in all business processes” moebelfertigung.com.

This cultural shift relies on clear strategy, measurable goals, inclusive communication, and the understanding that change is a journey—valuing progress over perfection.

Small Actions, Big Impact

Over the past three years, STILL has made notable strides:

  • Refurbishing second-hand equipment and launching recycling schemes
  • Installing solar panels on production sites and using the generated energy locally
  • Donating nearly 960 kg of booth materials after LogiMAT for reuse by social organizations—saving over 4.1 t CO₂ moebelfertigung.com
  • Turning promotional banners into durable bags and event covers
  • Offering tree sponsorships in place of traditional giveaways

These tangible steps demonstrate how resource-conscious event design and circular thinking are core to STILL’s approach.

Empowering People Through Sustainability Training

In partnership with Kühne Logistics University (KLU), STILL has developed a certification program to deepen the sustainability competence of its workforce moebelfertigung.com+1sustainability.still.eu+1. The training, already piloted among sales teams, will be expanded company-wide—reflecting STILL’s belief that well-informed employees are key to sustainable practice.

Transparency That Earns Trust

STILL has earned numerous accolades, including:

  • Platinum rating in the EcoVadis sustainability ranking (top 1 %)
  • Four awards from the German employers’ liability insurance association for safety and health
  • Mannheim branch recognized by Intertek for workplace quality
  • Recognition for commitments to social engagement and training moebelfertigung.comsustainability.still.eu

All achievements are tracked and shared transparently in STILL’s annual sustainability report.
