Gerdau

Gerdau, a prominent player in the Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing sector with its headquarters in Brazil, is committed to reducing its environmental impact.

For the 2025 reporting year, Gerdau reported a substantial total of approximately 15.6 billion kg CO2e across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. This breaks down into approximately 9.5 billion kg CO2e for Scope 1, and approximately 1.5 billion kg CO2e for Scope 2 (market-based). Scope 3 emissions for 2025 amounted to approximately 3.1 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being the largest contributor within this scope, at roughly 2.1 billion kg CO2e.

In 2024, total emissions were approximately 13.1 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 9.2 billion kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions stood at approximately 1.5 billion kg CO2e (market-based). Scope 3 emissions for 2024 were approximately 2.5 billion kg CO2e.

Gerdau has established a near-term intensity reduction target. By 2031, the company aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions intensity to 0.82 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of steel, a reduction from its 2020 baseline intensity of 0.93 tonnes of CO2e per tonne of steel. This represents a target reduction of approximately 11.8%. The company's reporting year for this target is 2020, with an end year of 2031.
