Everything we do is aimed at creating a stronger, lighter and more sustainable world. Sustainability is a central driving force for both us and our customers. We want to be the first to launch fossil-free steel on the market and to virtually eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from our own operations by around 2030.
Fossil-free steel Annual Report and Sustainability Report
SSAB’s breakthrough fossil-free technology is the first true steelmaking transformation for centuries. Our customers around the world will get premium high-strength steel, adapted to the future.
SSAB wants to be the first to launch fossil-free steel on the market and to largely eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from our own operations by around 2030. SSAB steels are already bringing environmental benefits to our customers.
SSAB’s sustainability work covers many different areas, such as the environment, health and safety, business ethics, and inclusion and diversity.
SSAB’s reports, documents and presentations are available here.
The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) recently awarded SSAB Alabama Inc., a $361,100 grant to complete a scrap tire derived crumb rubber study in the electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking process. Funding for this project will be used to purchase the crumb rubber and the specialized equipment for injecting this material into the EAF. This funding will also be used to work with a third-party engineering company to conduct an off-gas emissions study and subsequent report. Liberty Tire and Recycling is providing the crumb rubber for the trial.
SSAB and Danieli have signed an Early Service Agreement (ESA) on the pre- and engineering phase for the Luleå mini-mill project in Sweden. Under the agreement, Danieli will supply a highly-automated technology solution for the new mini-mill, consisting of two electric arc furnaces, secondary metallurgy, caster and strip mill.
SSAB has launched a new combined Green and Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework that will support SSAB’s transformation to fossil-free steelmaking and investments in more efficient and flexible production systems. The combined framework provides SSAB with an opportunity to issue both green and sustainability-linked financing instruments, as well as a combination of the two.
