LANXESS was included in the "2022 Carbon Neutral Performance List of Chinese Enterprises"

Shanghai,2023year4month24日——Recently, the special chemical company LANXESS was listed in the China Business Network and Shanghai Jiaotong University Carbon Neutral Development Research Institute "2022 2019 China Enterprises Carbon Neutral Performance List", won the "Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Achievement Award". The award aims to recognize LANXESS' outstanding performance in energy conservation, carbon reduction and technological innovation.

"To stop climate change, Our society must transition to carbon neutrality. This process requires continuous efforts, and LANXESS wants to play its part. To this end, we strive to achieve carbon neutrality ourselves, and at the same time work towards carbon neutrality with our suppliers and customers The value chain has taken the next step. We believe that sustainable development can create long-term value.” said Qian Mingcheng, President of LANXESS Asia Pacific.

Recently, Lanxess, a specialty chemicals company, was listed in the “2022China Enterprise Carbon Neutrality Performance List", won the "Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction Achievement Award".

Green leads, Deepen the promotion of carbon reduction in the value chain

This list has been published for nearly half a year The questionnaire survey, enterprise face-to-face interview, expert review and news observation and other links aim to discover excellent cases in the research and development and application of energy-saving and carbon-reduction technologies by enterprises in various industries, and set up an excellent example of practicing corporate carbon neutrality.

All along, LANXESS Keep an eye on climate issues. In2019 In 2040, LANXESS set to2040years in production (range1), purchased energy (range2) the goal of climate neutrality in the emissions sector. Behind this is the support of a series of green combos, covering a clear course of action: namely, to implement substantial emission reduction projects, to promote the decoupling of economic growth and carbon emissions, and to promote technological and process innovation.

More than that, LANXESS is also striving to reduce carbon emissions“Going a step further", assume the "ecological role" and drive the upstream and downstream value chain (scope3) to jointly reduce carbon emissions.2022In 2022, LANXESS expands its goal to achieve the scope3Emissions climate neutral: to2050years to make its upstream and downstream supply chains realize Climate neutral. This includes indirect emissions, especially from purchased raw materials, but also from logistics and final products. To2030year, range3Emissions will be in the base year2015Reduced on the basis of the year40%, from27000Kilotons of carbon dioxide equivalent down to16500 kilotons of carbon dioxide equivalent. To achieve this goal, LANXESS has launched a strategy to achieve climate neutrality along the entire value chain."Net Zero Value Chain Plan" Logistics and a climate-neutral product portfolio to achieve this.

What the jury is particularly interested in is that LANXESS has developed a tool that can automatically calculate the carbon footprint of the group's products—a product carbon footprint engine that provides a Life cycle carbon reduction provides measurable, feasible and controllable impetus. The tool calculates the resulting emissions using a 'production to sales' approach using existing data from each business unit, covering greenhouse gas emissions during production, product-specific emissions related to raw materials, energy, operating materials and transport and emissions from waste disposal.

Based on China, Innovation drives a sustainable future

In order to support and participate in the Chinese market sustainable development of LANXESS in2021year6In September, the Asia-Pacific Application Development Center was officially launched in Shanghai Chemical Industry Park to further promote local innovation capabilities in the Chinese market. Less than half a year after its opening, LANXESS Asia Pacific Application Development Center assisted in the completion of the renovation project of the central axis walkway in the central garden of Shanghai International Chemical New Materials Innovation Center. The iron oxide pigment provided by LANXESS for this project adopts the environmentally friendly "Ningbo Technology". 2018was awarded"National Green Factory" certification in 2019.

In addition to sustainable low-carbon Lanxess is also building a new power system based on green energy in China to accelerate the low-carbon transformation of the production process. 2022Year 9Month , the Liyang production base of LANXESS announced the completion of the first batch of green power procurement projects, and the proportion of renewable energy usage reached approximately 20% of the total annual electricity consumption50%, becoming the first production base of Lanxess Greater China to use green energy, which will reduce the production base in Liyang Thousands of tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

Combiningtwo key strengths of 'Innovation' and 'Green', this specialty chemicals company is delivering significant sustainable business benefits. In the recently released Dow Jones Sustainability Index rankings, LANXESS ranked first in the European index in the category "Chemicals" and won the 85points (full score100points), ranked second in the global index.

For example, about 50% of the total annual electricity consumption, becoming the first production base of Lanxess Greater China to use green energy, which will reduce several thousand tons of carbon dioxide emissions for the Liyang production base.
