Sustainability in the Lenzing Group

Management Philosophy

The Lenzing Group operates globally with a long-term profit perspective – a company close to the market in all fields of activity. This market flexibility is based on our organization into seven business units. The demands of the individual markets are forever changing, this requires room for independent initiatives by these individual units. The ability to make their own commercial decisions is the key to their success.

Corporate guidelines are provided for those areas that apply to all business units, such as:

• Finance
• Information technology (IT)
• Human resources
• Communication.
  
  

Moreover, the company sets standards that are now applied in a broad range of sectors. They will be fully implemented in a gradual process. Among these are:

• Quality management (ISO 9001)
• Safety standards (safety and health philosophy, OHSAS 18001)
• Environmental standards (environmental policy, ISO 14001)

As the world’s largest producer of cellulose fiber, continuous product innovation, process optimization and active market development are the basis of our future. Economic sustainability, environmental and social awareness, as well as respect for cultural diversity are the guiding principles of our corporate activities and of our management leadership.

The practical implementation of these aims is the responsibility of the individual business units. They decide on the means best suited to the unique demands of their tasks in order to achieve our common goals.
