This is the conclusion of the Hot Button Report\u00a0 published recently by the Canadian environmental organization Canopy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud of this top ranking. It underpins our role as a leader in sustainability and gives our customers confidence that we have the right practices in place to prevent the use of wood and pulp from ancient and endangered forests,\u201d says Stefan Doboczky, Chief Executive Officer of Lenzing. \u201cSustainable wood and pulp sourcing has long been given the highest priority by the Lenzing Group. Forest protection is crucial for Lenzing, not least because of the loss of biodiversity and climate change, which are becoming ever more important issues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Responsible sourcing and sustainability are key elements of Lenzing\u2019s corporate strategy. They help preserve global forests and prevent deforestation, which in turn make a substantial contribution to climate protection.<\/p>\n<p>The Hot Button Report proves once more that there is a low risk for buyers using Lenzing fibers. Lenzing was one of the first wood-based fiber producers to complete and publicly release the results of its CanopyStyle Audit in 2017 confirming this. In 2019, the company will complete its second annual audit.<\/p>\n<h3>Lenzing\u2019s achievements<\/h3>\n<p>In 2018, Lenzing adopted additional due diligence measures when sourcing from high-risk countries, a decision positively noted by Canopy.<\/p>\n<p>Lenzing\u2019s innovative TENCEL\u2122 Lyocell fibers with REFIBRA\u2122 technology, in which cotton scraps are partly used as a raw material, have been welcomed by the market as a product that takes pressure off the use of wood as a raw material. REFIBRA\u2122 technology is the most advanced concept in the wood-based fiber market that clearly incorporates circular economy features on a commercial level.<\/p>\n<p>Canopy also praised Lenzing for using its influence to help advance a conservation legacy in the heart of Canada\u2019s boreal forest. Lenzing communicated its support and encouragement for formal protection of the Broadback Forest to government and First Nation decision makers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Contact<\/h3>\n<p>Angelika Guldt<br \/>\nSustainability Communication<br \/>\nPhone: +43 7672 701-2735<br \/>\nE-mail: <a href=\"mailto:a.guldt@lenzing.com\" target=\"_blank\">a.guldt@lenzing.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Re-confirms Lenzing\u2019s responsible procurement of wood Underpins role as a leader in sustainability The Lenzing Group has once again been rated the number one producer of wood-based fibers (out of 31 globally) in the world with respect to the responsible procurement of wood, the key raw material in cellulose fiber production.
