Lanxess DE, a company operating in the Chemicals nec industry, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. In 2025, the company reported a total of approximately 12,025,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure comprised approximately 847,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 884,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions (market-based). Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, totalling approximately 10,294,000,000 kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services accounting for approximately 4,401,000,000 kg CO2e and the end-of-life treatment of sold products contributing approximately 4,655,000,000 kg CO2e. The following year, in 2026, emissions data for Scope 1 and 2 were not disclosed, with only information available regarding production emission factors. Lanxess has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims for climate neutrality across its entire supply chain by 2050. For Scope 1 and 2 emissions, Lanxess has set an interim target of a 42% reduction by 2030, compared to a 2021 base year, aiming to reach approximately 1,300,000,000 kg CO2e. Furthermore, the company has committed to an 80% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, relative to the 2004 baseline, and aims for climate neutrality in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040. For Scope 3 emissions, Lanxess plans to achieve a 90% reduction by 2050, from a 2021 base year, with the remaining 10% to be offset. They also intend to cut Scope 3 emissions by 25% by 2030, compared to the 2021 baseline, aiming for approximately 11,000,000,000 kg CO2e. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), aligning with a 1.5°C warming scenario.
