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 in 2026, and to virtually eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from our own operations by around 2030.
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’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.
SSAB Europe’s Business Unit Finland is to initiate change negotiations in Raahe because of continued weak demand. The target is to structurally reduce the fixed costs by at least EUR 10 million on an annual basis. The negotiations will discuss alternatives to increase flexibility in operations and adjust to weakened demand, while taking account of future needs.
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.
HT Laser has 3D printed the world's first component suitable for forest machine using fossil-free material. The printed part is designed to be suitable for Ponsse forest machines. The batch of steel powder produced by SSAB used in the printing of the component is the world's first fossil-free steel powder suited for the powder bed manufacturing method. The powder is produced without carbon dioxide emissions using fossil-free energy sources.
