Lenzing sets a good example in a difficult industry: social responsibility and sustainable jobs - Seite 2
Independently verified social certifications are now essential for companies like Lenzing to be considered as a supplier. Major brands and retailers have already established clear guidelines for their supply chains that require potential suppliers to be socially certified.
Florian Heubrandner, Executive Vice President Commercial Textiles of the Lenzing Group: “If we can show clearly and transparently that social aspects of sustainability are just as important to us as environmental issues, this will improve our business relationships”.
A recent study by the Society for Applied Economic Research in Innsbruck (Austria)[1] emphasises Lenzing's responsibility as an important employer. The Lenzing Group creates a total of 25,292 jobs in the five countries in which it operates production facilities. This figure includes not only employees, but also indirect jobs - because every direct job created creates more than two additional indirect jobs in other sectors of the economy.
