NLMK Group is fully committed to climate change action and takes meaningful steps towards decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, progressively reducing the carbon footprint of its products. Moreover, the Company’s products (such as steel for wind energy and energy-efficient electrical steels) enable a broad range of consumer industries to substantially reduce their climate impact and attain their decarbonization goals.
NLMK Group’s activities include:
Assessment of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2, 3) in line with the international GHG Protocol standard;
Regular verification of greenhouse gas emission data;
Assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD);
Participation in CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project) programme
Regularly providing СО2 emission data to the World Steel Association (WSA);
Assessing the carbon footprint of products;
Fine-tuning and monitoring projects aimed at reducing СО2 emissions;
NLMK Group has
set a measurable СО2 emission reduction target
The Company will continue to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions while also increasing steel output. By 2023, specific emissions across NLMK Group will total 1.84 tonnes of СО2 per tonne of steel, which is consistent with the level of leading global steelmakers.
