SFB Group Receives Reduced-Emissions Steel Shipment from Swiss Steel

Switzerland's prominent steel manufacturer, Swiss Steel Group, has made a significant stride towards sustainability by launching its carbon-reduced steel known as Green Steel Climate+. This steel is exclusively produced using electricity derived from renewable sources. As part of their commitment to reducing environmental impact, this innovative product will be supplied to the German metal processing company, Schwäbische Formdrehteile (SFB Group), starting January of this year.

The introduction of carbon-reduced steel is set to play a crucial role in SFB Group's strategy to minimize its environmental footprint. This partnership forms part of an ambitious plan to promote sustainable practices within the industry while maintaining high production standards.

In addition to supplying Green Steel Climate+, both companies have embarked on a collaborative project in the hydraulics sector. The project revolves around the Xtreme Performance Technology from Swiss Steel Group. This groundbreaking technology facilitates the thermomechanical rolling of virtually any conventionally produced standard steel. By adopting this technology, the companies aim to revolutionize steel production processes while staying committed to their sustainability goals.

Owing to its strategic use of steel scrap and targeted application of low-CO2 electricity, Swiss Steel Group has managed to significantly reduce its carbon emissions. Remarkably, the company's product portfolio boasts up to 83 percent lower emissions compared to the industry average. This achievement underscores the company's dedication to creating a more sustainable steel industry.

The Swiss Steel Group's initiative aligns with a broader trend of industries transitioning towards greener practices. By offering a wide range of green steel products centered on sustainable steel production, recycling, and circular economy principles, the company continues to lead the charge in the industry's decarbonization efforts.

Despite facing challenges posed by volatile markets and a complex geopolitical environment, Swiss Steel Group remains unwavering in its decarbonization strategy. The launch of Green Steel is not only a tool to systematically reduce the group's emissions but also serves as a stepping stone towards a more sustainable steel industry.

In response to the growing demand for transparency in environmental impact, Swiss Steel Group has amended its Green Steel White Paper. This amendment aims to make the carbon footprint of steel products more transparent and comprehensible. It further defines the reduction path that Swiss Steel Group will undertake to lower its climate impact.

Swiss Steel Group's commitment to reducing CO2 emissions throughout its supply chain is steadfast. The company recently took a significant step by crediting scrap for its low carbon footprint. This move highlights the company's belief in the potential of recycling as an effective tool for sustainability.
