With the Lenzing Group having already received the Gold EcoVadis award on three consecutive occasions, this time the leading fiber manufacturer has managed to achieve Platinum status in the CSR rating. The award once again underscores Lenzing’s role as a sustainability pioneer in the industry.

In the previous three years, Lenzing had already received outstanding ratings in all categories, and was awarded Gold status in 2018, 2019 and 2020. For 2021, the company not only held this top ranking, but even exceeded it – to reach Platinum status. Lenzing thereby ranks among the world’s top one percent of the companies evaluated. “We are very proud to have now achieved the step up to the Platinum level after several Gold ratings in the past few years. At Lenzing, we always think beyond fibres and take responsibility for our children and grandchildren – for whom we do our best in order to constantly improve ourselves. This attitude forms part of our strategic principles and we will continue to work hard to make a sustainable contribution to the environment and to society”, notes Stefan Doboczky, CEO of the Lenzing Group.

The Lenzing Group’s ambitious climate targets form an essential part of its strategy and responsibility to future generations. In 2019, Lenzing became the world’s first fiber manufacturer to commit to reducing CO2 emissions per ton of product by 50 percent by 2030, and even becoming climate-neutral by 2050. The Science Based Targets Initiative, the most recognised organisation in the area of climate-relevant target-setting, has scientifically validated Lenzing’s climate targets.
