SIJ – Slovenian Steel Group is one of the leading producers of stainless steel and special steels in Europe. We are Slovenia's largest vertically integrated metallurgy group. We are committed to global and European climate goals and operate in line with circular economy principles. With our steel and steel products, we are the right partner for facilitating the green transition. Our manufacturing companies are modern recycling steelworks with sustainable production certified by ResponsibleSteel. Our steel is recycled. 𝗣𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: In 1987, we ceased operations of its last blast furnace and shifted to utilizing recycled steel scrap as our primary raw material. With this step, we achieved a level of CO₂ emissions three decades ago that is now considered a benchmark for our industry. 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Even though our CO₂ intensity is notably lower than the global average, we remain dedicated to further reducing emissions. Substantial investments in best available technology (BAT) have already been made, and numerous future investments are planned. All these investments are part of our strategy to reduce CO2 intensity by 51% by 2030 compared to the 2020 baseline and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
