In 2023, Primetals Technologies reported significant carbon emissions associated with its production processes, specifically noting an emission factor of approximately 940,000 kg CO2e per tonne of liquid steel produced. This figure highlights the environmental impact of steel manufacturing, a key area of focus for the company. Currently, there are no disclosed Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, nor are there any specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined by Primetals Technologies. This absence of detailed emissions reporting and reduction commitments suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As a leader in the metals industry, Primetals Technologies is positioned to play a crucial role in addressing climate change through potential future initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions in steel production. The company’s commitment to sustainability will be essential in aligning with global climate goals and industry standards.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
