Focus on environmental protection

The LANXESS plant in Jinshan is not only one of the world’s most productive facilities for iron oxide pigments; it is also one of the most environmentally friendly. This factor greatly influenced LANXESS in its decision to acquire the plant because the company is committed to ensuring the sustainability of its business operations. This is why LANXESS has established globally binding environmental protection standards. These principles are specified in the company’s HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environment, Quality) guidelines, which are also rigorously enforced at the Chinese plant. In addition to its commitment to environmental protection and comprehensive resource conservation, LANXESS has a clear responsibility to its employees. It has therefore committed itself to using cutting-edge production methods and advanced equipment for ensuring employee safety. In this way, the company is showing that economic growth, environmental protection, and social responsibility can be reconciled.
