Fossil-free steel Annual Report and Sustainability Report
Sustainability is an element of SSAB’s business strategy.
SSAB wants to be the first to launch fossil-free steel on the market in 2026, 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 is participating in several events in conjunction with Climate Week NYC in the City of New York, United States, to contribute to the discussion on how to increase and accelerate the ambition, to scale up and roll out new climate technologies. Governments and policymakers should focus on creating markets for near zero emission materials and products as well as securing a level playing field.
