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.
First with 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.
Today, SSAB participates in a high-level panel discussion held in connection with the European Commission and Swedish government’s visit to Kiruna, Sweden. In his message, SSAB´s CEO Martin Lindqvist highlighted that the green transition is not a burden, but a business opportunity. SSAB already sees a market demand for fossil-free steel, and the aim is to start deliveries in 2026 and speed up SSAB´s own green transition by 15 years. However, to succeed, SSAB will need access to fossil-free electricity and an enabling regulatory framework that secures that the EU remains competitive and delivers on the climate goals, he emphasized.
SSAB has entered into an agreement with the Swedish steel distributor Stena Stål under which Stena Stål will be the first external distributor to deliver fossil-free steel on the Swedish market, starting in 2026.
SSAB has updated its Supplier Code of Conduct (SCOC) to further clarify expectations toward suppliers. The new version includes topics such as human rights, modern slavery, biodiversity, recycling and fair competition and antitrust in alignment with international standards.
