Lenzing again honoured with the Vienna Stock Exchange Sustainability Award
• VÖNIX Sustainability Award 2024 of the Vienna Stock Exchange goes to
Lenzing AG
• Winner in the ‘Industrials’ category
• Lenzing continuously drives forward the transformation towards a
bio-based economy
Lenzing – The Lenzing Group, a leading supplier of regenerated cellulose
fibers for the textile and nonwovens industries, once again received the
most important Austrian sustainability award for top listed companies, the
Vienna Stock Exchange VÖNIX Sustainability Award, yesterday evening.
Lenzing takes the first place in the ‘Industrials’ category. The
prestigious award honours those companies that stand out on the capital
market with their outstanding sustainability performance. According to the
VBV (Austrian Sustainability Index), which is the sustainability benchmark
of the Austrian stock market, the Lenzing Group achieved the best score in
its category.
“I am very pleased to accept the VÖNIX Sustainability Award on behalf of
the Lenzing Group. This award shows once again that Lenzing is working
tirelessly to make the industries in which it operates even more
sustainable and to drive forward the transformation of the textile
business model from a linear to a circular economy model. For this
transformation, further efforts by the entire industry are necessary,”
says Christian Skilich, member of the Lenzing Group’s Management Board.
Other recognised environmental organisations and rating agencies have also
already testified to Lenzing’s efforts in the area of sustainability and
the transformation to a circular economy: For the third year in a row,
Lenzing received a place on the annual ‘A list’ in all categories of the
global non-profit environmental organisation CDP. This makes Lenzing one
of only ten companies worldwide to receive a triple ‘A’ – out of over
21,000 companies assessed. Lenzing was also once again awarded platinum
status in the EcoVadis CSR rating. This puts Lenzing in the top one per
cent of companies rated by EcoVadis worldwide. MSCI awarded Lenzing an
‘AA’ rating for the third time in a row, placing the company among the top
eight per cent of rated companies in its peer group.

About the Lenzing Group
The Lenzing Group stands for eco-responsible production of specialty
fibers based on cellulose and recycled material. As an innovation leader,
Lenzing is a partner of global textile and nonwoven manufacturers and
drives many new technological developments. The Lenzing Group’s
high-quality fibers form the basis for a variety of textile applications
ranging from functional, comfortable and fashionable clothing to durable
and sustainable home textiles. Due to their special properties and their
botanical origin, the TÜV certified biodegradable and compostable Lenzing
fibers are also highly suitable for everyday hygiene products.
The business model of the Lenzing Group goes far beyond that of a
traditional fiber producer. Together with its customers and partners,
Lenzing develops innovative products along the value chain, creating added
value for consumers. The Lenzing Group strives for the efficient
utilization and processing of all raw materials and offers solutions to
help transform the textile industry from the current linear economic
system towards a circular economy. In order to reduce the speed of global
warming and thus also support the targets of the Paris Agreement and the
EU Commission’s “Green Deal”, Lenzing has developed a clear science-based
climate action plan that aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by 2030 and a net-zero goal (scope 1, 2 and 3) by 2050.
