We all feel the consequences that climate change is bringing to our daily lives and realise that our behaviour has an impact on the environment. Sustainability is at the centre of our strategy, simply because gardening is all about nature. As the leading gardening brand, it is our responsibility to act consciously. As a company within the Husqvarna Group, GARDENA is involved in the group-wide sustainability program “Sustainovate”, whose designation combines the terms "Sustainability" and "Innovation". The strategic approach of this program is to promote innovations that bring people and nature closer together.
Through our engagement, we are supporting a wide range of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which demonstrate a 17-point plan for ending extreme poverty, fighting inequality and injustice and protecting the planet up to 2030. Achieving these global goals requires significant effort at all levels of society, not least in business, which has a critical role to play as a change agent. At Husqvarna Group, our biggest contributions to the goals lie in reducing the negative impacts of operations, contributing to positive change along the value chain and engaging in society at large.
This is Sustainovate – our plan to lead our industry in the shift to a resource-smart economy. Through Sustainovate, we are challenging ourselves and inspiring others to transform and are pioneering solutions for step-change efficiency and smarter use of resources.
Sustainovate captures three opportunities for change — Carbon, Circular and People — and three targets to 2025 that are driving the way we do business. They bring us opportunities to support the shift to a low-carbon energy mix, to pioneer ways to deliver great value to customers through circular economy solutions, and to inspire and engage our customers and employees to scale our positive impacts.
Our targets for the year-end of 2025 serve as a guide for measuring the difference we make. Learn more about the current status of achieving our targets.
How you can contribute
Keen gardeners all around the world work hard to create and maintain vibrant green spaces. In doing so, they also promote biodiversity, health, clean air, and an improved local climate.
Gardens, balconies and terraces, but also house and garage roofs, backyards, vertically planted walls or a small spot on the windowsill or stairs are flowering gifts for nature and people. Everyone and every little planted spot can contribute.
Green spaces need water to flourish. Using our precious resource wisely is key – because every drop counts.
Explore how you can create green spaces and how to take care for them in a mindful way by using resources such as water wisely.

Sedan januari 2017 har de tyska anläggningarna i Ulm, Heuchlingen och Niederstotzingen försörjts med 100% el från förnybara källor. Denna status uppnåddes också på de tjeckiska platserna i Třinec 2017, med Vrbno året därpå.
Sedan 2021 kommer 100% av den el som upphandlas på GARDENAs samtliga driftanläggningar från förnybara källor. Under 2023 övergick de nyligen förvärvade Orbit-anläggningarna också till att köpa 100% grön el.
