The Board of Directors also proposes the re-election of the following individuals to the Board of Directors for a further one-year term each, until completion of the AGM 2025:

• Marion Helmes
• Angelica Kohlmann
• Christoph Mäder
• Roger Nitsch
• Barbara Richmond
• Jürgen Steinemann
• Olivier Verscheure

The AGM invitation can be accessed on the AGM webpage.

Further motions include the election of the Compensation Committee, and the approval of the compensation of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee.

The Board of Directors is proposing a 14% dividend increase from CHF 3.50 to CHF 4.00 per share. Subject to approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting, 50% of the dividend will be paid out of the capital contribution reserve and will therefore be free from Swiss withholding tax. 

All details on the motions can be found in the 2024 AGM invitation. 

2023 Annual and Sustainability Reports

Lonza today published its 2023 online Annual Report and Sustainability Report, which is aligned with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. PDF versions of the reports can be accessed via the Annual Report webpage, which can be found here. 

The 2023 Sustainability Report is Lonza’s sixth sustainability report. The report provides insights into the company’s commitments and performance related to the most relevant sustainability priorities for its business and stakeholders.

Responsible business is both an ethical and a commercial imperative for Lonza. Since 2022, environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics have been incorporated into Lonza’s compensation policy for both management and employees. This ensures that sustainability remains an integral part of every employee’s daily work and sustainability achievements are recognized and rewarded as a core strategic pillar of Lonza’s long-term success.
