Lenzing, an Austrian textile company, reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2.87 billion kg CO2e in 2025. This includes 1.15 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 270 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 1.45 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. In 2024, their total emissions were approximately 3.22 billion kg CO2e, comprising 1.28 billion kg CO2e (Scope 1), 400 million kg CO2e (Scope 2 market-based), and 1.54 billion kg CO2e (Scope 3). For 2023, total emissions were 2.9 billion kg CO2e, with 1.17 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, 340 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 1.38 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3.

Lenzing has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.

Near-term targets include:

• An absolute reduction of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, from a 2021 base year.
• An absolute reduction of Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030, from a 2021 base year, specifically targeting purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, and upstream transport and distribution.
• A 50% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions per tonne of fibre and pulp sold by 2030, using 2017 as the baseline year.

For long-term targets, Lenzing commits to:

• An absolute reduction of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, from a 2021 base year.
• An absolute reduction of Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, from a 2021 base year.

Additionally, Lenzing's lyocell facility in Prachinburi, Thailand, is targeting Scope 1 and 2 carbon neutrality by 2030 through the use of 100% bioenergy, aiming for 95% biomass energy by 2027.
