The issues of environmental and climate protection are at the very top of the global political agenda. Limiting the consequences of the greenhouse effect and preserving essential natural resources for future generations are among the most pressing challenges faced by industry and society today. LANXESS acknowledges its ecological responsibility. It is no coincidence that climate protection sits alongside water and education  as a core element of corporate responsibility at LANXESS. A wide range of innovative technologies and products enable the company to play a significant role in helping to shape a sustainable future.

Consistent commitment to “greener chemistry”
As part of the group-wide HSEQ management system, environmentally friendly activities are systematically monitored and optimized. Among other tasks, LANXESS promotes the sustainable generation and economical usage of energy at its sites, for example by switching over to one of the most efficient power plant technologies available – cogeneration. Furthermore, the company invests in cutting-edge processes and plants designed to keep air, ground and water supplies clean. In doing so, LANXESS is utilizing advanced economic tools such as emissions trading to finance climate protection projects.
