In 2023, Radius Recycling reported total carbon emissions of approximately 69,864,000 kg CO2e, comprising 144,040,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 25,485,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This goal includes eliminating limited Scope 1 and 2 emissions generated during their Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel manufacturing process through a carbon offset and renewable energy credit purchase programme. The emissions data for 2023 reflects a slight decrease from 2022, where total emissions were approximately 74,293,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions data for both Scope 1 and Scope 2, but has not provided information on Scope 3 emissions. Radius Recycling's initiatives are part of a broader commitment to sustainability, with their GRN Steel™ product line designed to offer some of the lowest carbon emissions steel globally. The near-term targets for this product line aim to achieve significant reductions in emissions by 2028. It is important to note that the emissions data is cascaded from the parent company, Radius Recycling, Inc., which is a current subsidiary of Toyota Tsusho Corporation. This relationship influences their sustainability strategies and reporting practices.
