In this new webinar, Austrian fibre manufacturer Lenzing discusses its recently published 2024 sustainability where it outlines the progress it has made against all of its stringent environmental and social targets.
Viewers can hear Lenzing outline how it will meet updated targets to reduce near term scope 1 and 2 absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42% and scope 3 absolute GHG emissions by 25% by 2030 from a 2021 baseline, and to achieve at least a 90% reduction in GHG emissions (scopes 1,2 and 3) by 2050. The man-made cellulosic supplier has ad these climate targets verified by the Science Based Targets initiative to align with the 1.5°C limit of the Paris Agreement in 2024, making Lenzing’s net zero target scientifically validated.

- Kerstin Zimmermann, Social sustainability
Host: Norma Schonherr
