Advancement of women in the Managing Board, Supervisory Board and key management positions (L-Rule 60 ACCG)

Lenzing endeavors to foster a diverse and inclusive environment where people feel a sense of belonging and are able to perform successfully, regardless of characteristics such as gender, marital status, ethnicity, skin color, citizenship, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, religion/belief, age, or other characteristics. To this end, a global policy for equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion (EDI) was launched in 2023 and revised in 2024 with explanatory videos in all seven languages of our production sites. Core teams of the global Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) Women@Lenzing and Multicultural@Lenzing, consisting of committed and interested employees, are now in the process of identifying obstacles to diversity and measures to promote greater inclusivity. Further ERGs are being planned.

The company’s Supervisory Board includes the following female members: Dr. Astrid Skala-Kuhmann and Bonita Haag. The following positions are held by women: Executive Vice President Commercial Nonwovens, Senior Director Global Product & Application Management, Senior Director Global HR BP Commercial, Senior Director Commercial Affairs Biorefinery & Co-Products, Site Director Operations Pulp Paskov, Director Global Application Center Management, Head of Textile Sourcing & Cooperations; Vice President Filament, Senior Director Global HR BP Finance & Corporate Functions, Director Global Commercial Operations, Senior Director Controlling NW, Senior Director Corporate Audit & Risk Management.
