Objective and key elements

Objective:
The objective is to provide guidance on biomass sourcing for Lenzing’s energy production as well as for the biomass sourcing of third parties delivering bioenergy to members of the Lenzing Group.

Key elements:
Lenzing aims to source biomass from non-controversial sources. For woody by-products and agricultural residues, Lenzing requires transparency about the sourcing region, legal harvesting and a low risk of deforestation. Compliance with the policy is ensured through regular risk assessments specific to sourcing regions, audits and on-site visits, as well as independent third-party certification of biomass for energy programs.
