We also aim to be a leader in sustainability. We focus on sustainable production and strive for a continuous balance between environment, economy, and social well-being.
We are continuously improving our environmental performance by making full use of the best available techniques. We optimize the use of scrap while recycling steel, using residues as raw materials and using renewable energy. These are just a few examples of the many projects and initiatives we are implementing.
Our path towards carbon neutrality by 2050
Building a carbon neutral steel industry doesn't happen overnight. That's why we are gradually investing in new technologies, renewable energy, and circular solutions that drastically reduce our CO₂ emissions. Our approach is ambitious, but above all, practical: we operate according to 3 clear pillars that together shape our path towards 2050.
Our efforts for our neighbors and the environment
We believe that sustainability starts in our immediate surroundings. We are committed every day to reducing our impact on the environment and being a good neighbor. We do this through targeted investments, innovative solutions, and an open dialogue with the community. From reducing dust and noise, to a neighborhood magazine and organizing environmental moments: together we are building a liveable and sustainable future, close to home.
Our sustainability goes further
For us, sustainability is not only in techniques and processes, but also in how we treat our environment and each other. Small steps that together make a big difference.
Giving space to life
We strive for a sustainable balance between industry and nature. Biodiversity – the variety of plants, animals, and ecosystems – is essential for a healthy environment. Therefore, we have a targeted approach to protect and strengthen nature on and around our sites.
Smart on the go
Working sustainably also starts with moving sustainably. We actively support our employees in their choice of bicycle, carpooling, public transport or electric mobility. With safe bicycle infrastructure, charging points, customized mobility solutions and awareness-raising, we reduce our collective CO₂ emissions and improve the comfort of home to work.
