Lenzing’s ambitious climate target represents an important component of the company’s strategy and the responsibility towards future generations. In the 2019 financial year, Lenzing became the world’s first producer of wood-based cellulosic fibres to strategically commit to a climate-neutral production. This vision is to be put into practice by 2050. By 2030, the company aims to achieve an interim goal of reducing emissions by 50 per cent per ton of product compared to 2017. The Science Based Targets Initiative, the most recognised organisation in the field of climate-related target setting, has scientifically confirmed the Lenzing Group's climate targets.
