For the fifth time, the climate protection initiative CDP awarded LANXESS with the A rating for its sustainability efforts.

LANXESS has been included into the “Climate A List” by the climate protection initiative CDP for the fifth time this year, placing itself among the top 2% of the more than 12,000 company assessed. The “A” rating is awarded to businesses that report transparently and comprehensively on their climate protection activities and also implement corresponding projects.

“Climate protection is a central part of the corporate strategy at LANXESS. This is reflected in our ambitious goal of becoming climate neutral by 2040. The CDP award underlines our ambitions in this field,” declared Hubert Fink, member of the Board of Management of LANXESS AG.

In addition, LANXESS received a “B” rating for its water management project, as it set dedicated targets for sustainable water management and improved its four sites with the highest water stress. These renewed inclusions follow several other positive assessments in 2021: the company was included in the DJSI World and Europe in November and improved its rating in the MSCI ESG sustainability index and EcoVadis Sustainability Rating during last summer.
