Lenzing’s VEOCEL™ brand today announces the launch of “VEOCEL™ cares for the future” initiative, which will kickstart globally and regionally on June 5th, World Environment Day 2022. As the start of a dedicated consumer education and engagement program, the “cares for the future” campaign will feature a series of tailored activities in Europe, the U.S. and Asia.

We hope that our collaboration with environmental advocates will empower consumers from different parts of the world to join us in caring for the environment and sharing their stories to inspire others. Every action counts towards building a better future.”

Global brand ambassador to motivate change

The VEOCEL™ brand’s first global brand ambassador, @valerialipovetsky, is a public figure, business owner and mother of three. She will take her 1.9 million Instagram followers on an educational journey with VEOCEL™ to discover how to live more sustainably and learn how the boundless love she has for her children drives her care for the future.





Demonstrate your love for the planet

Across the U.S. and Europe, environmentally-driven influencers Eva Klaus, Müge Boz, and Heather Goodman, will kick off the #sharehowyoucare challenge and encourage their followers to comment real life examples of how they care for the environment.

Show your care and protect nature

In Asia, well-known environmental activist and singer Chet Lam will kickstart the campaign with a specially curated “#IDo Pledge” which represents a life-long commitment to caring for nature and protecting the environment for future generations. This social media initiative will feature young influencers across Asia who are experiencing key milestones in their lives, from getting married to having children, across China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, and Thailand, who want to empower their generation to care for the future.

The “VEOCEL™ cares for the future” initiative is conducted in collaboration with VEOCEL™’s longtime partner, One Tree Planted, where social media users all over the world will be able to contribute to global reforestation efforts and enable positive change for the planet by commenting on the influencers’ posts.

“Caring for the environment also transcends to caring for future generations.
