Our sustainability page is built for technical readers who need more than aspiration. Targets are tied to a baseline year, a current status, a 2030 goal, and a methodology reference so progress can be interpreted with the right boundary conditions.
Environmental and social progress requires precise accounting. Lonza avoids broad wording such as eco-friendly without evidence. Climate data references GHG Protocol boundaries, biodegradation statements require OECD test references where relevant, and hazardous properties remain anchored to SDS classification.
| Target | 2019 baseline | 2024 status | 2030 goal | Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scope 1+2 emissions intensity | 1.00 indexed | 0.78 indexed | 0.50 indexed | GHG Protocol, market-based electricity |
| Water withdrawal in high-stress sites | 100% | 86% | 70% | Site-metered withdrawal by basin risk |
| Solvent recovery rate | 42% | 57% | 68% | Mass balance by campaign |
| Supplier ESG review | 35% | 74% | 95% | Risk-ranked supplier assessment |
| Waste to beneficial use | 38% | 51% | 65% | Verified waste disposition records |
Quarterly dashboards help operating teams see where process changes are working and where assumptions need review. Each chart below is a visual placeholder for recurring management review, not a guarantee of absolute savings. Performance depends on product mix, campaign load, energy source, and site-specific permitting.
For investor and procurement audiences, Lonza can reference external review inputs where available: assurance provider statements, EcoVadis or CDP submissions, Sustainalytics methodology notes, and customer-specific audit outcomes. We state the scope of each input because a rating does not replace a product-specific SDS, CoA, or regulatory statement.
Customers can request the underlying methodology notes used for climate, water, waste, and responsible sourcing indicators. The appendix explains organizational boundaries, included sites, treatment of renewable electricity, waste disposition categories, and the difference between corporate ESG data and molecule-specific lifecycle assessments.
Share the product family, site relevance, and customer reporting need. Lonza will clarify whether corporate ESG disclosure, product documentation, or a deeper lifecycle review is the correct evidence path.
