Lenzing AG – Nachhaltigkeitsranking und Aktienentwicklung
Nachhaltigkeitsranking
On 21 October 2025, Lenzing AG was announced as the global leader in Canopy’s Hot‑Button Report, a ranking compiled by the Canadian non‑profit organization Canopy.
- The company received 34.5 points out of a possible 40.
- No known risks were identified concerning sourcing from ancient or endangered forests.
- This marks Lenzing’s second consecutive first‑place finish in the ranking, underscoring its commitment to responsible forest management and sustainable supply chains.
The achievement highlights Lenzing’s position as a world‑class provider of textile fibers and pulp raw materials used across the apparel, non‑woven, technical textiles, and furniture textile sectors. The company’s product portfolio also extends to chemicals, paper, films, plastics, and synthetic fibers, complemented by engineering services for production plants.

The company’s shares were last quoted at EUR 25.15 on 19 October 2025.
- One year earlier, on 19 October 2024, the shares traded at EUR 34.00.
- An investment of EUR 100 at that time would have yielded 2.941 shares.
- By 17 October 2025, the shares were valued at EUR 25.05, reducing the original investment to EUR 73.68.
- This represents a 26.32 % decline over the year.

Market Context
The Vienna Stock Exchange’s ATX index recorded gains on the same day, with a midday increase of 0.63 % to 4 607.32 points. The ATX Prime index also saw a positive opening, moving 0.86 % higher to 2 307.48 points. These broader market movements suggest that Lenzing’s share price decline is not solely attributable to sector‑specific factors but may reflect wider market dynamics.
Summary
Lenzing AG’s recent confirmation as the top performer in the Canopy sustainability ranking demonstrates its leadership in responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship. Despite this achievement, the company’s share price has fallen by over a quarter in the past year, indicating a potential disconnect between sustainability accolades and investor sentiment. The market remains attentive to Lenzing’s performance, as reflected in the broader movements of the Vienna Stock Exchange indices.
