We are a global company and we implement our high environmental standards in all our production processes at all locations. Careful utilization of resources, reduction of emissions and careful management of energy sources are some of our principles for ensuring ecological sustainability.

Our most valuable asset, however, are our staff members. Without their effort and performance our enormous success of the recent years would certainly not have been possible. Our social responsibility not only means continual training and further education, the organizational and creative setting of opportunities for personal growth and development, but also the steady improvement of safety standards in the working environment.

It is our goal to maintain our dialog with all interest groups and to take their needs into consideration. That is why the Lenzing Group is a responsible partner for the local communities at its sites and supports non-profit projects there.

Well targeted measures allowed us to reach our sustainability goals. As part of capacity expansion at Lenzing we set new industrial standards: The successful introduction of a new technology for sulfate reduction as part of an anaerobic waste water treatment plant. Moreover, an additional air purification plant was put into service.

It is our future goal to continually improve our economic, ecological and social performance and to thereby prove ourselves as a company group committed to the principles of sustainability
