In addition to these targets, BlueScope is actively pursuing initiatives to enhance its decarbonisation pathway, including the construction of a NZ$300 million Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) at Glenbrook, co-funded by the New Zealand Government, which is a significant step towards achieving its long-term net zero goal. Overall, BlueScope's emissions data and climate commitments demonstrate a proactive approach to addressing climate change and reducing its carbon footprint in the steel manufacturing sector.
