Our commitment to sustainability
LANXESS is recognized by a number of sustainability indices and rankings its our progress toward sustainable management.

The “A” rating is awarded to companies that report particularly transparently and comprehensively on their climate protection activities and also implement corresponding projects. LANXESS is on the “Climate A List” for the sixth time this year. The Group has been disclosing climate protection-related data to CDP since 2012.
Climate protection is a central part of the corporate strategy at LANXESS. This is reflected in our ambitious goal of becoming climate neutral by 2040.
LANXESS also received an A– grade in the area of water management. The company had set specific targets for sustainable water management and launched projects at the four sites in the areas with the greatest water stress to strengthen sustainable water management locally.
