Salzgitter's reported carbon emissions

In 2025, Salzgitter AG reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 23.4 billion kg CO2e, comprising 9.36 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, 131 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and 13.9 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2050. Salzgitter's near-term targets include a 20% reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions per tonne of hot rolled steel by 2028, based on a 2021 baseline. Additionally, it aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 35.6% within the same timeframe. For Scope 3 emissions, the company targets a 20% reduction from purchased goods and services, and a 33.6% reduction in emissions from the use of sold products covering fossil fuels. Long-term, Salzgitter commits to a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2045, and a similar 90% reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2050, both from a 2021 base year. These targets align with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and reflect the company's commitment to addressing climate change effectively.
