Breitenfeld Edelstahl AG sees itself as a responsible partner, setting a clear standard for sustainable stainless steel production with its "Green Steel" concept. "Green Steel" is more than just a buzzword; it describes the embedding of sustainability principles in our corporate strategy and daily practice.

Our sustainability strategy forms the basis for this path, pursuing a holistic approach that equally considers the three dimensions of ecology, economy, and social responsibility. Key cornerstones include:

• Ecology: Resource conservation, climate protection, and circular economy
• Economy: Efficient processes, innovation & future viability
• Social: Responsibility towards employees & society

Circular Economy as a Principle

Our stainless steel production in the electric arc furnace is 90% based on scrap – 100% recyclable, without loss of quality. In doing so, we actively contribute to resource conservation and CO₂ avoidance.

Climate Protection: Target by 2035

We aim to reduce our Scope 1+2 emissions by 53% (base year 2022). The path to achieving this involves:

• More efficient processes
• Investments in green technologies
• Utilizing renewable energy sources
• Developing an innovative CCU pilot plant

Resource Efficiency Starts with Materials

We continuously review and optimize:

• The use and procurement of raw materials
• The recycling of by-products
• The reduction of disposal and transport efforts

Transparency is Our Promise

We regularly document our progress in the Environmental Statement according to EMAS. We stand for:

• Openness towards our stakeholders
• Clear key figures
• Traceable objectives
