• Global ranking standard evaluates sustainable performance of global
cellulosic fiber producers
• Lenzing once again among top companies with a score of 33 out of 40
Lenzing – The Lenzing Group, leading supplier of regenerated cellulose
fibers for the textile and nonwovens industries, achieved first place in
the global 2024 Hot Button Ranking of the Canadian non-profit organization
Canopy. This year, Lenzing improved its score from 32 to 33 out of 40,
placing it in the “Leading in CanopyStyle commitments” category, denoted
by a dark green shirt. This status reflects Lenzing’s strong leadership in
sustainable practices and alignment with the highest environmental
standards.
In this highly respected textile and apparel industry ranking, Canopy
evaluates the performance of global producers of regenerated cellulosic
fibers in the fields of sustainable sourcing, transparency, and
innovation. Lenzing’s high score reflects its strong commitment to
environmental and social sustainability and positions it as a reliable
partner for eco-conscious brands and customers.
“We are delighted that our efforts to make continuous progress and find
solutions to the most pressing challenges of our time have been recognized
and appreciated,” says Rohit Aggarwal, Chief Executive Officer of the
Lenzing Group. “At the same time, standards and rankings such as Canopy’s
show us where we still have untapped potential and can improve further.
These results motivate us to continue to do our best to take care of our
customers and bring about the transformation to a green and clean
industry,” says Aggarwal.
In its 2024 ranking, Canopy recognized Lenzing for its commitment to
protecting ancient and endangered forests, for example. Lenzing has
actively integrated next-generation fiber solutions into its production,
demonstrating innovation in creating sustainable alternatives and reducing
dependence on virgin resources. This positions Lenzing as a pioneer in the
transformation of the industry towards circular and resource-efficient
production systems. Lenzing also performed well on other criteria, such as
supply chain traceability.
