Specialty chemicals company LANXESS has once again been recognised among global sustainability leaders, earning a place on the CDP “A List” for climate protection for the seventh consecutive year. With this top-tier rating, LANXESS ranks within the top 4% of over 22,100 companies assessed worldwide.
CDP awarded LANXESS high scores across key parameters including climate strategy, emissions reduction, governance, value chain engagement, and the development of climate-friendly products. The evaluation highlights the company’s transparent reporting, science-based targets, and consistent execution of its climate action roadmap.
In addition to climate performance, LANXESS also delivered a strong showing in water stewardship, receiving an A- rating from CDP, underscoring its structured and responsible water management practices across operations. LANXESS has been reporting to CDP continuously since 2012, reflecting its long-standing commitment to environmental transparency and measurable progress.
Further strengthening its sustainability credentials, the company’s efforts were also validated by EcoVadis, which reaffirmed LANXESS’s Gold status in December 2025. With a score of 83 out of 100, LANXESS improved upon its previous year’s performance and placed itself among the top 2% of all companies evaluated globally.
Commenting on the recognition, Hubert Fink, Member of the Board of Management, LANXESS AG, said the latest assessments confirm that sustainability remains deeply embedded in the company’s strategy, creating long-term value not only for LANXESS but also for customers pursuing their own environmental goals.
CDP and EcoVadis are widely regarded as global benchmarks for sustainability assessment. Their recognition reinforces LANXESS’s position as a trusted partner for customers and suppliers seeking responsible, future-ready chemical solutions.
