In accordance with C-Rule 62 of the ACCG, Lenzing must arrange for an external institution to evaluate its compliance with the C-Rules of the code on a regular basis, albeit at least every three years. Lenzing commissioned PwC Oberösterreich Wirtschaftsprüfung und Steuerberatung GmbH to evaluate its Group Corporate Governance Report for 2021. This evaluation concluded that the statement of compliance with the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance issued by Lenzing AG gives a true and fair view of the actual situation. All external evaluation reports are published on the company’s website at https://www.lenzing.com.
