As part of Lenzing Group’s work to advance sustainability, we measure our own progress internally, but there is significant value in having our environmental impact assessed by third parties.
For the first time, Lenzing participated in the Sustainable Apparel Coalition’s (SAC) Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) assessment. All of our facilities aside from Brazil and Thailand were assessed by November 2023, and Brazil and Thailand will be evaluated in 2024. For those sites already measured, the scores were between 70 and 95 percent. The industry average for the more than 20,000 participating companies is far lower, under 50 percent.
This article is one of a series on Rivet from Lenzing’s Carved in Blue denim blog. From conversations with the experts behind the mills that make some of the world’s most-wanted denim to the global brands bringing novel denim made with TENCEL™ Lyocell and Modal to the market, Carved in Blue shares the stories of those whose roots run deep with denim.
