Sustainability
Doing our part
LANXESS takes its responsibility for our future very seriously. That’s why we strive for holistic solutions which meet the needs of the economy, ecology and society together, through responsible action and a shared purpose: sustainability.
Our vision: to actively participate in ensuring tomorrow’s world is safer and more liveable for everyone.
Objectively Measureable Standards
Health, Safety, Environmental Protection and Quality are the imperatives of the LANXESS worldwide HSEQ management system. Objectively measurable standards and our duty to fulfill requirements such as the Corporate Compliance Guidelines, the international Responsible Care® Charter or our Quality and Environmental Policy help us to reach our goals. Throughout the world, we use a process-oriented, integrated management system that complies with the international ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards on quality and environ-mental management to constantly enhance our performance and achieve our goals effectively.
Responsible Care
For the future of chemistry
LANXESS accepts a responsible role in caring for the environment and emphatically supports the Responsible Care® initiative. The LANXESS management board gave its seal of approval by signing the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) Responsible Care® Global Charter. With its focus on issues such as health & safety regarding the use of chemical products, the spread of relevant information and improved transparency in the industry, the Charter is now taking on challenges which now go far beyond the original Responsible Care® manifest. They compell us to strive for greater openness and an improved public dialog.
By applying the principles of the Responsible Care® Charter, we are contributing our share to solving the world’s major challenges by continually improving our efforts to protect the environment, improve health, and ensure safety and a good quality of life for everyone. Afterall, we at LANXESS are convinced that only sustainable developments and responsible actions can guarantee a successful future for chemistry.
