LANXESS Sustainable Product Portfolio: Driving Climate-Neutral Innovation and Safety

Commitment to Climate-Neutral Products by 2050

LANXESS, a global specialty chemicals company, is firmly committed to transforming its product portfolio to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. This strategic ambition encompasses innovation in product development, supply chain optimization, and emission reduction, aligned with a circular economy vision. Key drivers include transitioning to renewable resources and enhancing product carbon footprint (PCF) management.

Digitization and Transparency: The Product Carbon Footprint Engine

To foster transparency and optimize sustainability, LANXESS employs its proprietary Product Carbon Footprint Engine. This digital tool enables precise tracking and minimization of emissions across the entire product lifecycle — from raw material sourcing to end use. Life cycle assessments guide improvements and support data-driven sustainability decisions.

Scopeblue – Highlighting Sustainability Stars

LANXESS identifies exemplary products—branded as "Scopeblue Sustainability Stars"—which demonstrate significantly reduced emissions and incorporate renewable or circular raw materials. These innovations exemplify the company’s success in advancing sustainability within its portfolio.

Innovation for a Sustainable Future

Listened to customer and societal demands, LANXESS continually innovates to develop solutions that balance sustainability with performance and safety. Its product range supports renewable energy industries, resource-efficient manufacturing, and enhanced recyclability, thereby enabling industries to transition toward a low-carbon, resource-efficient future.

Eliminating Critical Substances for Safety

Proactively exceeding regulatory requirements, LANXESS is phasing out critical and potentially hazardous substances from its products. The company undertakes rigorous evaluation and stewardship, replacing problematic ingredients with safer, eco-friendly alternatives. This responsible approach minimizes risk to human health and the environment and supports a toxic-free circular economy.

Integration into Corporate Strategy

Sustainability is embedded in LANXESS’s broader corporate strategy, underscoring the importance of environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and economic viability. Through targeted action, the company advances United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly climate action and responsible consumption.
