LENZING, Austria — December 14, 2022 — The Lenzing Group has been recognized for leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change, forests and water security by global environmental non-profit CDP, securing a place on its annual ”A List”.
Through significant demonstrable action on reducing climate impacts, water security risks and deforestation, Lenzing is leading on corporate environmental ambition, action and transparency worldwide. The world’s economy looks to CDP as the gold standard of environmental reporting with the richest and most comprehensive dataset on corporate and city action. In 2022, more than 680 investors with over $130 trillion in assets and 280 major purchasers with $6.4 trillion in procurement spend requested companies to disclose data on environmental impacts, risks and opportunities through CDP’s platform. A record-breaking 18,700 companies responded.
”We are very proud that we have now been awarded a triple ’A‘ rating by CDP for the second time in a row. The rating shows that we are already on a very good path with our sustainability strategy and that the steps we are taking as the Lenzing Group to continuously improve and find solutions to the most pressing problems of our time are being seen and honored,” says Stephan Sielaff, CEO of the Lenzing Group. ”We are working hard to make our industries even more sustainable and to drive the transformation of the textile business model from linear to circular. Further efforts from the entire industry are needed for this transformation to take place,” Sielaff said.
“ CDP今年有近20,000家公司披露了环境数据，其中包括70％的欧洲公司按市场价值。COP27表明，如果我们要将变暖限制为1.5°C，则需要进行转化变化比以往任何时候都更为重要。因此，我很高兴欧洲公司构成了全球列表中的几乎一半，其中包括15个A分数和8个分数，三分之一，''''''''''气候变化，森林和水安全领导力的分数。我们必须将排放量减少一半，并在2030年消除森林砍伐，并在同一时间范围内实现水安全性 - 没有自然界就没有1.5°C的途径。随着欧盟开创性的新报告法规，CSRD现在同意，CDP’列表“公司都表明他们处于领先地位 - 采取明确的行动来减少排放并在其整个价值链中解决环境影响。这是我们需要在整个经济上进行环境透明度和行动的类型，以防止生态崩溃。”
Efficient use of resources
Wood, the pulp derived from it and water are some of the most important raw materials for the sustainable production of cellulosic fibers from Lenzing and also part of the most important focus areas of the Lenzing Group’s sustainability strategy. Lenzing assumes responsibility by striving for sustainable procurement based on environmental certificates and responsible and efficient use of these valuable resources. Lenzing sources wood and dissolving pulp from sustainably managed forests and plantations and not from ancient, protected or endangered forests. Lenzing’s biorefinery process ensures that 100 percent of wood constituents are used: to produce dissolving wood pulp for fiber production, biorefinery products, and bioenergy.
With its REFIBRATM and Eco Cycle technologies, Lenzing offers solutions for transforming the textile and nonwovens industries towards a circular economy. In line with its vision for the circular economy, “We give waste a new life. Every day.” Lenzing is driving the industry toward a full circular economy by striving to give waste a new life in all aspects of its core business and developing circular solutions together with potential partners inside and outside the current value chain.
Transparency and traceability of supply chains
透明度构成了可靠的可持续性绩效的基础，并在客户和消费者之间建立了信任。这就是为什么Lenzing致力于在整个供应链中促进数字解决方案，并提高纺织品和非织造行业的透明度和可追溯性。这至关重要，因为只有与行业的诚实互动可以确保可追溯性能够验证整个供应链中Lenzing Fiber的起源，一直到完成的服装。Lenzing的光纤识别系统和电子品牌服务构成了整体透明度方法的基础，而纺织机构区块链项目利用数据来实现最大的可食用性。这表明Lenzing在非常不透明的行业中的领导能力，并提供具有更好可持续性证书的产品。A more comprehensive understanding of Lenzing’s suppliers as well as downstream customers is equally critical to minimizing the Lenzing Group’s overall environmental impact, leading the company on the right path to achieve a low-emission and CO2 neutral footprint by 2050. Close digital connections throughout the network help to close loops in an efficient and holistic way and facilitate the transition from a linear to a circular supply chain.
