Lenzing Group, a leading provider of regenerated cellulose fibers, has garnered acclaim for achieving exceptional results in the Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM) certification across five of its production sites. The certification assesses various social impact factors including wages, working conditions, and employee treatment.

This achievement underscores Lenzing's commitment to addressing social challenges within the textile industry, such as precarious working conditions and human rights issues along the value chain.

Transparency in the supply chain emerges as a crucial tool in tackling these challenges, with Lenzing aiming to obtain valid social standard certificates for all its production sites by 2024. Their success in the Higg FSLM audit, placing them in the top 25 percent globally, highlights their dedication to fostering better working conditions.

Christian Skilich, a member of Lenzing Group's Management Board, emphasizes their proactive stance towards social responsibility, asserting that their efforts extend beyond mere rhetoric. Florian Heubrandner, Executive Vice President Commercial Textiles, emphasizes the importance of transparently prioritizing social sustainability alongside environmental concerns to enhance business relationships.

Moreover, a study by the Society for Applied Economic Research underscores Lenzing's significant role as an employer, creating over 25,000 jobs across its operational countries, both directly and indirectly. This recognition further solidifies Lenzing's position as a socially responsible industry leader in the textile sector.
