Stahl released its 2024 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, detailing progress toward its ESG Roadmap to 2030. The company reported significant developments in emissions reduction, sustainable product offerings and workforce equity, following a year of structural transformation and portfolio shifts.

Stahl reduced scope 1 and 2 emissions by 39 percent and scope 3.1 emissions by 31 percent compared to 2021 levels. As of December 2024, 2,200 products met the highest compliance level of the ZDHC Gateway (MRSL 3.1), accounting for 94 percent of revenue from the Leather Finishing division.

More than 50 percent of Stahl’s 2024 revenue came from water-based products, excluding the Packaging Coatings division. Additionally, 377 products now include lifecycle assessment or product carbon footprint data.

The company expanded its packaging coatings business through an acquisition and divested its wet-end leather chemicals business. It also earned its third consecutive EcoVadis Platinum rating and was certified as a Living Wage employer by the Fair Wage Network.

Stahl updated its double materiality assessment in preparation for compliance with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.
