Sustainability

Naturally sustainable

Our goal

We act in a responsible, environmentally sound and socially compatible manner in all our processes and activities. Strict standards, the comprehensive know-how of the Lenzing Group in wood sourcing and efficient management systems already ensure the highest level of environmental compatibility in the procurement of wood and wood chips.

We pay attention to ensure that wood is primarily procured from nearby sources. Our pulp production also takes place on the basis of the best possible, environmentally-friendly technology.

Sustainability based on know-how

Thinking in cycles is the basis for the technology used in Paskov. In our pulp production we apply closed production cycles to the greatest possible extent, for example with respect to water. 100 percent of the wood is utilized in the biorefinery of Lenzing Biocel Paskov. We manufacture pulp, biorefinery products as well as energy from the wood.

Certified quality

We fulfill all relevant and international standards with respect to sustainability: In general, we procure only strictly certified wood or wood from controlled or certified origins meeting FSC® or PEFC standards.

Our participation in the “Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) ensures us that we source wood from sustainable forestry. Within the context of this program, these forests are regularly inspected by independent institutes in order to ensure compliance with strict sustainability criteria.

The sourcing of wood coming from environmentally friendly forestry is ensured by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC® C118737) Standards. On behalf of this system, the forestry is regularly assessed for adherence to sustainability criteria through independent audits.  

Paskov’s pulp production facilities are certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018. This confirms compliance with modern quality, environmental, health and safety standards.

State-of-the-art technology

Modern Lenzing technology enables the wood to be decomposed into pulp using the magnesium bisulfite method. The subsequent bleaching takes place without any harmful chlorine but on the basis of oxygen, hydrogen hyperoxide and ozone. Closed loop processes for chemicals and water are environmentally friendly and ensure a minimal use of fresh water.  As a result, Lenzing Biocel Paskov products high-quality pulp and valuable biorefinery products.

Being a good neighbour

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an integral part of our company’s values, especially as a key employer in the region. We actively support local cultural, educational, and sports initiatives, with a strong focus on sustainability and education in neighboring communities.

For over fifteen years, we have collaborated with the Academic Heyrovsky Secondary Industrial School of Chemicals in Ostrava, providing internships and supporting national student competitions, such as the Young Chemists Competition. In 2022, we contributed to the educational project All Life is Chemistry and continue to support the Technical Museum in Ostrava.

We actively promote the responsible use of forests as a raw material source and support the Wood of Life foundation. As part of this initiative, more than 200 children recently had the opportunity to explore forests with forestry experts and participate in practical activities. Additionally, a timber construction competition and an annual wood festival contribute to increasing awareness of sustainable forestry.
