13 May 2025 CW Team

The climate protection initiative CDP has honoured LANXESS for its outstanding commitment to the fight against climate change. In its current assessment, CDP has given the specialty chemicals company the top grade of “A” in the “Climate” category. This puts LANXESS in the top 2 per cent of the more than 24,700 companies evaluated by CDP.

The grade “A” is awarded to companies that report particularly transparently and comprehensively on their activities in climate protection and also implement corresponding projects. To do so, they must demonstrate their strategies and measures, such as setting scientifically sound targets and drawing up a climate protection plan. LANXESS has been disclosing climate protection-related data to CDP since 2012.

In addition, CDP assessed LANXESS' commitment to the safe and responsible use of water resources. The organization awarded the grade “A-”.

“With our solutions and expertise, we are making a significant contribution to sustainable development. At the same time, we are helping our customers achieve their sustainability goals. CDP's renewed top rating underscores our commitment to climate protection and shows that we are on the right track,” said Hubert Fink, member of the Board of Management of LANXESS AG.
