The challenge at Lohmann & Rauscher

Growing pressure from customers and suppliers to demonstrate visible corporate responsibility
No central location for easy access to all CSR data
Frequent requests from departments like Sales for certifications such as ISO, EcoVadis, etc.
High manual effort required to create internal reports and presentations to measure CSR performance
Sustainability requirements in tenders are often time-consuming to fulfill manually

At L&R, people and the care for their health are at the center of everything. With the claim People.Health.Care., the company emphasizes three distinct yet interconnected areas that together reflect L&R’s vision and values: being a problem solver capable of helping people around the world.

L&R is fully aware of its responsibility to society. That’s why the company is committed to sustainable business development, environmental protection, and social responsibility. New initiatives are continually being implemented to ensure L&R remains a reliable partner for customers, business partners, and employees in the future. The company’s achievements in this area are reflected in numerous certifications, awards, and ratings it receives each year.

To better anchor strategic progress in economic, environmental, and social sustainability throughout the organization, Corporate Sustainability has been established as a dedicated area of responsibility.

The challenge

• Growing pressure from customers and suppliers to demonstrate visible corporate responsibility
• No central location for easy access to all CSR data
• Frequent requests from departments like Sales for certifications such as ISO, EcoVadis, etc.
• High manual effort required to create internal reports and presentations to measure CSR performance
• Sustainability requirements in tenders are often time-consuming to fulfill manually

The pressure from customers and other stakeholders to take responsibility for social, environmental, and economic issues has noticeably increased for L&R as well. Corporate responsibility—and transparency around it—is more business-critical than ever, often playing a key role in tender processes.

In the past, the former sustainability officer was almost entirely occupied with audits, certifications, and evaluations—alongside the task of preparing and communicating CSR information internally.

A solution was needed that would provide a central data hub and automate as much of the manual workload as possible.

The solution

• Centralized ESG data management with VERSO
• Fast and flexible access to information
• Simple, intuitive user interface
• Significant time savings for the sustainability team
• Responsive support—online and by phone
• User-friendly online profile (internal site) for cross-departmental use

To make ESG achievements accessible to all colleagues and partners, L&R now has a central platform where every employee can quickly get an overview: the sustainability database powered by VERSO.

The online content not only supports the principle of a paperless office and enables transparent, always-accessible stakeholder communication—it also adds real value for tenders, procurement processes, and rating agencies.

At the same time, CSR data can be visually presented at the push of a button and tailored to specific audiences—for example, for management reporting. This saves Corporate Sustainability Manager Jasmine Schweitzer a great deal of time and stress, which she now invests in further developing L&R’s sustainability strategy.

And whenever she or her colleagues run into challenges, the German-speaking support team at VERSO is always available via all common communication channels.
