LANXESS remains at the forefront of sustainability
- LANXESS once again on CDP Climate A List – among the top 4 percent of all companies assessed
- CDP rates LANXESS’ water management with an A-
- EcoVadis reaffirms Gold status for sustainability in the supply chain
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 continuously to the CDP since 2012.
EcoVadis confirms LANXESS’ gold status
Back in December 2025, sustainability platform EcoVadis had already evaluated the specialty chemicals company. With 83 out of a possible 100 points, LANXESS has once again improved on its previous year’s performance and is thus among the top 2 percent of all companies evaluated. EcoVadis has thereby confirmed LANXESS’s Gold status.
“The latest assessments by CDP and EcoVadis are proof that our focus on sustainability is setting international standards,” said Hubert Fink, member of the Board of Management of LANXESS AG. “Our progress in this area is paying off – also for our customers who want to achieve their own sustainability goals.”
