LANXESS remains at the forefront of sustainability

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 31: Climate protection initiative CDP has once again included LANXESS in its “A List” for climate protection – for the seventh time in a row. With an “A” rating, the specialty chemicals company ranks among the top 4 percent of more than 22,100 companies assessed worldwide.

CDP gave particularly positive ratings in the areas of business strategy, targets, emissions reduction and climate-friendly products, governance and value chain.

The CDP experts award “A” ratings to companies that disclose their climate protection measures in a particularly transparent manner and implement their plans reliably. Among other things, verifiable strategies, science-based targets and a current climate protection plan are rewarded.

LANXESS also achieved a strong result in the area of water: CDP rated the company’s water management with the second-best grade of A-. LANXESS has been reporting to the CDP continuously since 2012.

previous year’s performance and is thus among the top 2 per cent of all companies evaluated. EcoVadis has thereby confirmed LANXESS’s Gold status.
