Sustainability drives the business decisions of leading companies around the world. As a trusted partner, we are committed to helping you be more sustainable by reducing the emissions impact of our products.
• Unlike extractive steelmaking methods, our circular steelmaking process uses electric arc furnace technology (EAF) and recycled scrap as the primary feedstock to produce steel with a greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity less than one third* the global extractive steelmaking average for Scopes 1, 2 and 3.
• We are reducing the carbon footprint of our steelmaking operations by expanding the clean energy sources that power our mills today and investing in advanced nuclear technologies that could power our steel mills with carbon-free electricity in the future.
• We are investing in technologies to help us reduce and capture CO2 at every point in our value chain.
