26 Sustainability in the Lenzing Group

27 Lenzing sustainability concept Sustainable economic success Growth, innovation, productivity, technology leadership, quality leadership Responsibility for the environment Lenzing sets environmental standards Closed loops and integration Renewable raw material wood Responsibility for the people Attractive jobs High safety and health standards Regional support of social, sports and cultural activities 27

28 The Cellulose Cycle 28

29 91% increase of fiber production in Lenzing between 1990 and 2008 Fiber production location Lenzing [t/a]

34 LCA - Life cycle analysis of fibers Comprehensive evaluation of fibers (ISO series) Utrecht University, The Netherlands (Prof. M. Patel, Li Shen) Assessment of sustainability of Lenzing fibers in comparison to cotton, polyester and polypropylene. 11 environmentally relevant factors studied Peer studies confirm results Result: Environmental load of Lenzing fibers is significantly lower than that of cotton! 34
