Fossil-Free Steel – A Pioneer of the Green Transition
The Nordic region’s largest steel producer, SSAB, is revolutionizing steelmaking with two unique steel products that are virtually free of fossil carbon dioxide emissions.

Sustainability Day brought new perspectives and ideas
Together with our "sister company" Finnchain we had a Sustainability Day as part of our owner Addtech's commitment to sustainability. The aim of the day was to deepen our staff's understanding of sustainability and related measures such as reporting and emissions monitoring.
