The Lenzing Group has joined the initiative for sustainable supply chains in the chemical industry, Together for Sustainability (TfS). With Lenzing, numerous international chemical companies have joined the initiative. Their common goal is to make the global supply chains of the chemical industry sustainable.

 

“Joining the TfS initiative is another clear commitment to improving the ecological footprint of the global textile and nonwovens industries and shows that Lenzing takes sustainability very seriously – so much so that sustainability is at the heart of our business strategy . Industry needs innovation to further drive the shift from a linear to a circular economy business model. Lenzing will continue to work with partners throughout the supply chain to make this vision a reality,” says Robert van de Kerkhof, Chief Commercial Officer Fiber at Lenzing.

 

Complex global sustainability challenges require a collaborative approach to developing systemic solutions, involving many stakeholder groups. In order to make the global textile and nonwovens industries more sustainable and bring about systemic change, Lenzing has therefore been building on partnerships within its "Naturally Positive" sustainability strategy for many years.

 

“I am very proud to welcome Lenzing to the TfS family, bringing the number of TfS members to 37. Together with our strategic partners, we are expanding our reach and increasing our impact on sustainability performance in chemical supply chains worldwide. In view of the legal framework, the climatic challenges and the market conditions, the need for sustainable companies is increasing. TfS is the key enabler to make supply chains and businesses more sustainable overall and contribute to the development of a better world,” says TfS President Bertrand Conquéret.
