The move fits seamlessly with both companies’ ambition to reduce carbon emissions and is a natural step in their long-standing collaboration.
SSAB has launched a new combined Green and Sustainability-Linked Finance Framework that will support SSAB’s transformation to fossil-free steelmaking and investments in more efficient and flexible production systems. The combined framework provides SSAB with an opportunity to issue both green and sustainability-linked financing instruments, as well as a combination of the two.
SSAB and Firth Steels have entered a long-term partnership for the supply of steel made with virtually zero fossil carbon emissions. The partnership will help Firth Steels reach its goal to further improve sustainability and reduce the CO2 footprint of their products.

Ruukki Construction, part of SSAB, has signed an agreement with travel company Experience Pyhä Oy on the delivery of Ruukki® Classic LowCarbon roofs made of SSAB Fossil-free™ steel to the investment company's ecological holiday destination in Pyhätunturi, Finnish Lapland.

Since upgrading to Hardox® 500 Tuf wear steel, ITC has reduced the weight of its tippers and containers by 35 percent. The result is lighter, more durable products, and ultimately increased payload capacity for its customers.
The last few years has seen Thompsons become a true market leader in the UK. One of the explanations for this is its tipper bodies made of both Hardox® 500 Tuf and Strenx® 900MC steel, which have reduced tipper body weight by up to 500 kilos. This in turn has meant that customers have received tippers with increased load capacity.
Since making Hardox® 500 Tuf steel its material of choice, leading Saudi Arabian heavy-transport equipment manufacturer Al Jeathen has seen its products last longer, weigh less and become more sustainable.
