“Lead Transformation – Generate Impact”: Lenzing Presents Its 2025 Annual
and Sustainability Report

 

• Lenzing continues to drive transformation forward with measurable
progress
• Enhanced sustainability impact: innovative fiber solutions,
sustainability ratings, and strong partnerships across the value chain

 

Lenzing – The Lenzing Group has published its 2025 Annual and
Sustainability Report, entitled LEAD TRANSFORMATION – GENERATE IMPACT. The
report shows how Lenzing is actively shaping change in the industry and
making a lasting impact: economically, ecologically, and socially. Lenzing
is consistently focused on the future: with targeted investments in
premiumization, excellence, innovation, and sustainability, the company is
strengthening its position as a leading provider of sustainable,
cellulose-based premium fibers. The combined report is available in
[1]digital format.

 

“2025 was a challenging year in which we, as the Lenzing Group,
demonstrated the strength and unity embedded in our company. Under the
guiding principle Lead Transformation – Generate Impact, we improved our
performance, sharpened our profile, and consistently aligned Lenzing with
the future. Our ambition remains clear: to achieve economic success while
taking responsibility for the environment and society,” said the Lenzing
Group Management Board: Mathias Breuer, CFO, Christian Skilich, CPO/CTO,
and Georg Kasperkovitz, COO.

GENERATE IMPACT – Advancing Sustainability, Innovation and Bio-Economy

In addition to its business performance, Lenzing achieved major progress
in sustainability and innovation in 2025. As a global company with a
strong focus on sustainable solutions, Lenzing measures success by
concrete results that generate positive impact for markets, customers,
people, and the planet. These include new fiber innovations,
sustainability ratings, and impactful partnerships across the textile and
nonwovens value chains.

 

Lenzing also continued to expand its fiber portfolio: The enhanced
LENZING™ Lyocell Fill fiber portfolio delivers improved thermal
insulation, optimized moisture management, and greater dimensional
stability. A new generation of VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers increases the
cleaning efficiency of wipes and provides a sustainable alternative to
fossil-based materials – even in applications such as disinfection. With
TENCEL™ Lyocell HV100 fibers, Lenzing enables natural, matte textures for
denim thanks to its Variocut technology. Together with Edgewell, Lenzing
also introduced hygiene products featuring VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers to the
North American market for the first time. These applications show that
bio-based materials can provide superior performance and help advance
bioeconomy.

 

External sustainability ratings once again confirmed Lenzing’s leading
role in responsible fiber production. With its fifth consecutive EcoVadis
Platinum rating, Lenzing ranks among the top one percent of all assessed
companies worldwide – a strong indicator of sector leadership. Lenzing
also secured the top one position in the Canopy Hot Button Report, the
industry benchmark for responsible forestry and transparent supply chains.
Combined with the CDP rating “Triple A” for climate, water and forests and
the 2026 “Low Risk” / ESG‑Leader rating from Sustainalytics, these
achievements reinforce Lenzing’s position as a global benchmark for
integrating sustainability in core business and making progress in
environmental, social, governance areas with transparency.

 

In the area of climate action, Lenzing made further progress, continued to
pursue its science‑based targets, and invested in renewable energy – such
as sourcing 100 percent grid-based renewable electricity for seven
facilities globally and expanding the photovoltaic system at the Lenzing
site, among others.

 

Technological developments and collaborative initiatives further
accelerated the transformation process. Together with Adidas and the
Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences, Lenzing developed a recycling
process in a pilot and innovation project in which a sweater was produced
in a closed loop using recycled Lyocell fibers. In the EU‑funded CELLFIL
project, Lenzing is working on scaling Lyocell filaments as an alternative
to synthetic fibers. With an investment of EUR 15 million to expand the
production capacity of VEOCEL™ Viscostar fibers, Lenzing is further
strengthening its position in nonwovens industry, particularly in feminine
hygiene applications.

 

Lenzing’s commitment to research was also recognized – through a Top‑3
nomination for the “Matilda Award” for initiatives promoting women at
Lenzing, particularly in research, and through the Lenzing Young Scientist
Award, presented to young researchers outside the company.

 

The results for the 2025 financial year have already been published. The
corresponding press release is available in the Lenzing [2]Newsroom.
