The Science Based Targets Initiative, the most recognized organization in the field of climate-relevant target setting, has scientifically confirmed the climate targets of the Lenzing Group.
ISS ESG is one of the leading agencies for sustainability ratings internationally and currently covers more than 8,000 issuers worldwide. The assessment of sustainability performance is based on more than 800 individual indicators in the areas of environmental, social and governance (so-called ESG criteria) performance. 40 companies from all over the world are rated in the "Paper & Forest Products" category.
