Lenzing sets a good example in a difficult industry: social responsibility
and sustainable jobs

• Outstanding results in the Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM)
for social sustainability
• Study shows: Lenzing creates 25,282 direct and indirect jobs in its
production countries

Lenzing – The Lenzing Group, a leading supplier of regenerated cellulose
fibers for the textile and nonwovens industries, has achieved outstanding
results in the Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM) certification
for five of its production sites. This involved measuring the social
impact of production in areas such as wages, working hours, health and
safety and treatment of employees.

In addition to ecological and economic challenges, the global textile
industry also has to contend with a number of social challenges, including
precarious working conditions, non-compliance with human rights and other
social grievances in parts of the value chain. Transparency along the
supply chain plays an important role in overcoming these. One of Lenzing’s
key sustainability goals is to obtain a valid, independently audited and
accredited social standard certificate for each of the Lenzing Group’s
production sites by 2024. This goal is pursued through the Higg Facility
Social & Labor Module (Higg FSLM), which assesses social and labor-related
conditions. In 2023, more than 7,200 companies worldwide underwent this
audit, with Lenzing’s result placing it in the top 25 percent of all
verified Higg FSLM facilities.

“We are delighted with the outstanding results in the Higg Facility Social
& Labor Module. They show once again that social sustainability and
responsibility are not just buzzwords or empty phrases for us, but that we
are actively committed to better working conditions. We will remain true
to our mission and continue to contribute towards a textile industry more
sustainable and fairer for all players in the industry,” says Christian
Skilich, Member of the Management Board of the Lenzing Group.

Independently verified social certifications are now essential for
companies like Lenzing to be considered as a supplier. Major brands and
retailers have already established clear guidelines for their supply
chains that require potential suppliers to be socially certified.

Florian Heubrandner, Executive Vice President Commercial Textiles of the
Lenzing Group: “If we can show clearly and transparently that social
aspects of sustainability are just as important to us as environmental
issues, this will improve our business relationships”.

A recent study by the Society for Applied Economic Research in Innsbruck
(Austria)(1)^(1) emphasises Lenzing’s responsibility as an important
employer. The Lenzing Group creates a total of 25,292 jobs in the five
countries in which it operates production facilities. This figure includes
not only employees, but also indirect jobs – because every direct job
created creates more than two additional indirect jobs in other sectors of
the economy.
