What is the CO₂ footprint of steel?

The CO₂ footprint of steel is the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) released throughout the entire production process—from raw material extraction to manufacturing, transport, and processing. The lower the CO₂ emissions, the more sustainable the steel.

By gaining insight into the CO₂ footprint of steel, companies can make better decisions and contribute to responsible and sustainable production. This is not only beneficial for the environment, but is also becoming increasingly important for customers, partners, and certifications.

How KS Service Center contributes

At KS Service Center, we focus not only on high-quality steel products, but also on the processes behind them. We provide our customers with insight into the CO₂ footprint of our products and ensure clear and accurate documentation. This is increasingly being requested in the market.

A well-documented CO₂ footprint helps companies demonstrate accountability to clients who require it as a condition for contract awards. In addition, it is valuable for organisations that aim to operate transparently and responsibly, and want to gain control over achieving their sustainability goals.

Why this is important for your company

• You gain insight into the environmental impact of your material choices
• You can participate in tenders where CO₂ emissions reporting is a requirement
• You demonstrate to your customers and partners that sustainability is a priority

By working together on sustainable steel processing, we are making the steel industry step by step greener and more transparent
