循环和可持续的采购

At LANXESS, raw materials, other materials, equipment and services are subject to globally standardized requirements with regard to safety and environmental protection. Their procurement is the responsibility of our Global Procurement & Logistics (GPL) Group function, the head of which reports directly to the Board of Management member Dr. Hubert Fink. In close coordination with our business units, this administrative unit organizes Group-wide procurement, establishes corresponding guidelines, and initiates measures to promote purchasing synergies and sustainable behavior by our suppliers.

整个集团的全球采购指南在处理供应商及其员工时界定了我们的员工行为。我们在流程描述中更详细地在采购的上下文中指定了标准化的工作流程。

根据U.n.全球契约，国际劳工组织（国际劳工组织），负责任的Care®和其他CSR码的原则，我们希望供应商遵守国家和其他适用的环境保护，健康和安全法律法规和工作关于劳动和招聘实践。接受供应商行为准则的要求是希望与我们合作的所有供应商的必要先决条件。为了塑造我们的要求，我们在财政年度修订了代码的内容，并增加了额外的主题。与此同时，该名称已更改为“业务伙伴行为准则”，以便清楚地明确，我们预计不仅来自供应商的可持续和道德行为。

标准化过程

为了在我们的生产设施中安全加工的利益，特别关注原材料采购。因此，供应商必须为所有原材料采购提供最新的安全数据表。在非欧洲供应商的原材料交付的情况下，我们的采购部门与生产，技术，安全环境（PTSE）集团职能澄清，澄清该义务在达人范围内必须履行义务。

可持续的原材料

我们的有机原料目前仍主要基于化石源。我们正在努力提高可持续原材料的比例。可持续原材料市场正在进行长期发展。为了取得进展，我们已经与多个主要合作伙伴合作并测试了他们的研究产品。一个现实的情景是，我们将越来越多地将基于可持续原材料到市场的个人产品，因为整个产品范围是可能的。然而，使用生物基有机原料也具有挑战和潜在的冲突。例如，食品的生产必须始终优先于使用生物质以制造化学产品。因此，我们在购买基于生物的原材料并确保我们使用的生物质以可再生方式生产并且不与食品生产竞争时，请继续谨慎行事。

BP和Lanxess加入可再生原料的塑料生产原料

High-performance plastics are the solution for many sustainable products. It is also important to us to also make the production of this valuable material sustainable. In this context, the use of bio-based raw materials, along with modern recycling processes, is a key lever. Against this backdrop, we have entered into a strategic partnership with energy company bp for the use of sustainable raw materials in hightech plastics production. Since the fourth quarter of 2021, bp has supplied our production site in Antwerp, Belgium, with sustainably produced cyclohexane. Our long-standing partner uses biobased and bio-circular feedstocks for its production. These can be, for example, rapeseed oil or biomass. The sustainable origin of the raw materials is certified according to ISCC Plus rules (“International Sustainability and Carbon Certification”).

Our inorganic raw materials are primarily obtained from the biological cycle, e.g. nitrogen from the air or sodium chloride from seawater. These raw materials are renewable in principle, but not necessarily sustainable, as their extraction requires high energy usage in the form of electricity. In order to reduce their carbon footprint, more renewable energies will have to be used for their extraction. Here, too, we are engaged in strategic partnerships with our suppliers in order to achieve this.

在th透明度e supply chain

我们努力促进可持续性，在整个供应链中提高透明度，从而进一步减少采购风险。这就是为什么Lanxess是“共同可持续发展”倡议的创始成员。TFS在化学品行业中建立了作为可持续供应链的明确标准。这里的重点是环境保护，工人的权利和人权，包括预防童工，劳动标准，职业安全，商业道德和可持续采购行为。
