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.
Saint-Gobain’s new slag processing plant in Raahe, Finland is now under construction and will complete next year. SSAB in turn is transforming its own slag handling process and is investing in the related solutions for this, including cooling and logistics. This joint project between the two companies will turn the slag created as a by-product in steelmaking into low-carbon binders to replace traditional cements.
SSAB is joining Business Sweden’s delegation to the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Our hope is that countries increase their national ambitions to limit climate change and to create enabling conditions for investments and a competitive transformation. SSAB will describe our journey to near zero-emission steelmaking as a way of exemplifying what breakthrough technologies are available to decarbonize the steel industry.
SSAB and Parmaco have entered a fossil-free steel partnership, which includes an ambition to construct the world’s first concept building made of fossil-free steel in 2025. In this project, Parmaco intends to use pilot deliveries of fossil-free steel, developed with the HYBRIT[®] technology, throughout the entire structure. It would mark the first time all steel components in a building is made with SSAB’s fossil-free steel.
