"We have a clear plan to reduce CO2 emissions and the amount of raw materials we use. However, sustainable development is not only about reducing emissions. it Is also about caring for the wellbeing of society and the future of our children. Today, emissions from the steel industry account for around 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions. As part of SSAB, we are working towards providing carbon neutral building products made of from fossil-free steel, that can help reduce buildings’ emissions impact significantly," said Kaupo Pertel, Design & Technical Support Manager, Building Envelopes, Ruukki Baltics, at the beginning of his presentation.
