Sustainability is the only key to secure our future. Our Green Steel Strategy includes three core areas:
for the substitution of fossil energy sources
for climate-neutral internal and external logistics
for a reduced use of resources
By implementing comprehensive measures, we optimize resource efficiency for all business processes and infrastructure step-by-step. With our web application CO2 Balance, we can provide the complete product carbon footprint for each tonne of SWT Green Steel, which also includes transport to the agreed place of delivery.
Stahlwerk Thüringen is committed to the idea of recycling: since 1995, we have been using exclusively steel scrap as the basis for our steel, which is melted in the electric arc furnace. In this way, we reduce CO2 emissions by well over 50% compared to steelworks of the blast furnace route. As a result, we save more than a million tons of CO2 every year – that corresponds to the volume of 210 Cheops pyramids.
