EMAS Revalidation Confirms Consistent Environmental Performance – Viscose Fibers Made from 100% Plant-Based Raw Materials as a Sustainable Alternative to Plastic.
Kelheim Fibres, a leading manufacturer of specialty viscose fibres, has once again published a comprehensive sustainability report. By doing so, the company is setting another milestone for transparency while simultaneously emphasizing its commitment to the goals of the UN Global Compact.
An integral part of the sustainability report is the EMAS Environmental Statement, which – as it has been annually since 2020 – was audited by independent environmental experts as part of the EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) revalidation. This confirms Kelheim Fibres’ high environmental performance and its continuous efforts towards sustainable corporate governance.
However, the sustainability report goes beyond mere environmental performance and addresses all aspects of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
“Credibility and trust are based on transparency. With our new sustainability report, we demonstrate how we fulfil our responsibility for both people and the environment – and the contribution we make with our biodegradable fibres to combating one of the biggest global problems of our time, the growing plastic waste,” explains Wolfgang Ott, Head of CSR at Kelheim Fibres.
The viscose fibres made from 100% plant-based raw materials represent a powerful alternative to conventional plastics in numerous applications and thus help reduce global waste.
