This year Lenzing carried off a gold award in the digital category, awarded to companies that have made good progress in the digitisation of business processes, products, services and models. This was the first time the programme had included this category.
In addition, Lenzing received a bronze award in the standard category for its achievements as a a major economic force in the region. It also won first prize for the introduction of blockchain technology for fibre identification along the textile value chain, technology that enables customers to identify Tencel branded fibres from fibre to retail, verify garment composition and the underlying textile supply chain at the point of sale.
Chief executive, Stefan Doboczky, said: “With the introduction of blockchain technology, Lenzing is pursuing the ambitious goal of creating full transparency across the value chain, driving change in an industry in which less than 5% of the top 250 apparel brands can track their garments back to the fibre origin.”
