Our impact

We warm people, not the planet

We minimise causing unnecessary harm to our planet while maximising warmth for our customers. To do so, we focus on reducing emissions and water usage, as well as implementing inclusive working conditions in our community. At Stoov we aim to become carbon neutral by 2030.

Impact Report

We are proud to present our annual impact report, which brings together efforts from the company and beyond, and outlines how we turn negative impacts into a net positive effect. Dive into this report to discover our aspirations, hurdles, strides, partnerships, and much more!

Payback period

When you turn down your heating as you turn on your Stoov, you avoid emissions. Thereby you compensate for the emissions caused by the manufacturing, transport, and charging of your product during its lifespan, which is at least 5 years. On average, the avoided emissions outweigh the gross emissions after 1 year and 8 months.

Our impact pillars

Stoov's five impact pillars are fundamental to achieving our overarching strategy of becoming carbon neutral by 2030, while simultaneously ensuring our impact extends across all other facets of the company. At Stoov, we strive to minimise unnecessary harm and maximise warmth. Our impact strategy underpins all of Stoov’s initiatives and is built upon five core pillars.

Research energy consumption

At Stoov, we are committed to continuous improvement and understanding our customers. To achieve this, we research how our customers interact with our products, gaining deeper insights into the sustainable benefits they offer. We do not just claim to make an impact – we measure it. Annually, we actively assess the impact we have made!

Design a product with the smallest footprint possible

At Stoov, our mission is to ensure our products are of the highest quality and the best on the market, consistently meeting and exceeding expectations. We constantly innovate to enhance our products. Alongside improving quality, we also ensure that each new product has a smaller environmental footprint, reducing its impact on the planet.

Be transparent & honest

We want to inform and educate our community, not by sharing only the benefits but also all other aspects of the product and the company. We realise that as a company we are not perfect and that we still have a lot to learn.

Take responsibility from origin-to-end-of life

At Stoov we strive for a complete transparent and fair production chain, we aim to reduce risks and continuously reduce our negative footprint. We make product choices holistically, by considering the entire value chain and lifecycle, not just one aspect.

Keep our team warm & winning

At Stoov we focus on more than creating impact with our product, we also aim to impact our employees by creating an inclusive work environment where everyone flourishes and feels at home. Additionally, we invest in establishing and living our Stoov values, every day.

We plant trees!

At Stoov, we are committed to offsetting our emissions, and we do this in collaboration with ForestNation. We plant trees and conserve biodiversity in Tanzania, which promotes a greener environment and provides employment opportunities for the local community.

For every ton of CO2 emitted during our logistics process, we plant 10 trees. In a tree's lifetime it is estimated to absorb 1 ton of CO2 and so we plant 10 in order to help offset as much of our carbon emissions as possible.

B Corp

As of January 2023 we are officially a B Corp, yay! Sustainability is at the heart of what we do and is woven into Stoov's DNA. Our new B Corp status is both a celebration of our commitment to the planet and a reminder to always strive to do better to improve the way in which our business is making an impact.

A word from our founder Teun

"When I started Stoov in 2014, the 2 founding principles were saving energy by warming people more efficiently and creating a product with the smallest possible footprint"

Today, I am still inspired by the saying which my mum repeatedly mentioned to me during my childhood: “deuren dicht: we stoken niet voor de vogeltjes”. This means that you should close the door behind you to keep the house warm, instead of warming the birds outside. This message has always been the essence of Stoov: we strive for more efficient heating. After all, we warm people, not the planet.
