Our ambition
Our stepping stones: Four focus topics
By focusing on four essential topics, we lay the stepping ensuring that our efforts are purposeful and impactful, creating long-term value while strengthening our company and contributing to a more sustainable future.
In order to more consistently pursue our sustainability targets, we established a new committee structure at the beginning of 2021. The top decision-making body is now the Sustainability Committee, which manages all key issues relating to sustainability. Its members include all members of the Board of Management.

LANXESSSustainability is at the core of our corporate strategy. We take responsibility for climate protection, the careful use of natural resources, fostering strong relationships with people and businesses, and continuously improving our product portfolio. With our holistic approach, we contribute to a more sustainable economy and society.
Transformation Meets Value Creation: Our Sustainable Product Portfolio
A core part of our sustainability strategy is the continuous optimization of our product portfolio. We develop safe, environmentally friendly, and future-oriented products that contribute to reducing emissions, conserving resources, and promoting a circular economy. Critical substances are systematically eliminated and replaced with sustainable alternatives. By going beyond regulatory requirements, we create innovative solutions that offer both ecological and economic benefits.
Climate Leadership: We lead by commitment
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and we are committed to being part of the solution. By reducing CO₂ emissions, increasing the use of renewable energy, and implementing innovative technologies, we actively drive the decarbonization of our processes. Our goal is to achieve climate neutrality—not only by minimizing our own emissions but also by developing solutions that enable a low-carbon value chain across industries.
Empowering Success: Fostering Strong People and Business Relations
A successful transition to sustainability relies on strong relationships—both within our company and with our stakeholders. We foster diversity, inclusion, and fair working conditions, creating an environment where people can thrive. At the same time, we maintain trusted partnerships with customers, suppliers, and industry leaders to drive sustainable solutions together. Our success is built on long-term relationships founded on responsibility, transparency, and collaboration.
Respecting the Planet: Our Dedication to Environmental Stewardship
Beyond climate protection, we are dedicated to responsible resource management. Through efficient water use, circular economy principles, and environmentally friendly production processes, we minimize our ecological footprint. We continuously invest in sustainable technologies to reduce waste, avoid emissions, and protect natural ecosystems. As environmental stewards, we develop long-term solutions that balance ecological responsibility with economic success.
