The UN Sustainable Development Goals

At SSAB, we focus on the following UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Everyone at SSAB has the right to a healthy work environment with no accidents. Our goal is to be the world’s safest steel company and to prevent all work-related accidents and illnesses.

SSAB has zero tolerance of all forms of discrimination, and works actively to create an inclusive work environment where everyone feels valued. We require our suppliers to respect human rights and prohibit discrimination.

SSAB aims to use fossil-free energy throughout our operations and drives the expansion of fossil-free electricity in the countries where we operate.

Together with our partners and customers, we are developing a fossil-free value chain for steel.

SSAB strives to improve resource efficiency and reduce the use of raw materials and natural resources, for example through a circular work method. Sustainability is an integral part of our work with suppliers.

SSAB’s ambition is to largely eliminate carbon dioxide emissions in our own operations. This will help to reduce Sweden’s carbon dioxide emissions by around 10% and Finland’s by 7%.

SSAB has zero tolerance of bribery and corruption and makes high demands in the area of business ethics. We also work actively to strengthen human rights in our operations as well as at our suppliers.

Collaboration is an important part of changing society in a more sustainable direction. We collaborate with other actors within for example the First Movers’ Coalition, and we work closely with our customers in terms of developing the fossil-free offer.
