STRATEGY

Sustainability is a driving force for us as we work toward a better tomorrow. This includes developing new applications for our steel products and ensuring our operations support all three dimensions of sustainability: Environment, Social, and Governance.

We structure our sustainability work according to all three dimensions of sustainability: Environment, Social, and Gover nance. We consider all of them equally important for achieving optimal results. Our work is guided by key policies supporting these areas, as well as our value chain. These include our Environmental Policy, Code of Conduct, and Sustainable Procurement Policy. All docu ments are publicly available on our website. During 2025, we established our sustainability strategy, outlining how we address today’s and tomorrow’s challenges while continuing to be a reliable partner. Our direction is clear: sustainability should be part of everything we do, focusing on the areas where we can make the biggest difference. 

Always stay ahead 

We don’t just want to meet the growing expectations from customers, society, and other stakeholders; we want to exceed them and always stay ahead of legal requirements. It explains how we work with sustainability: reducing our environmental footprint, taking social responsibility, and making sure we have strong governance in everything we do. It also highlights the areas we see as most important for our continued growth. Our sustainability targets are high on the agenda and are also in line with the goals in our business plan. We work intensively to reduce the emissions from our production to both water and air, to develop our business and further strengthen our position in the steel industry. We also care about giving every employee the best possible chance to develop, grow, and thrive at work. We want to be able to offer products with a lower environ mental impact to our customers and enable customers to, in their turn, gain competitive advantages by having a value chain that has a better sustainability performance than other alterna tives. We will actively support our suppliers and customers to develop products with less environmental impacts, one way of doing so is by doing tests and research in our laboratory. 

Steel with less environmental impact 

There is ongoing development within the steel industry to produce steel with lower environmental impact. Some produc tion methods are generally difficult for spring steel, but we aim to offer our customers the option to choose products with less environmental impact, depending on what is possible for the specific quality and applications. We collaborate with our suppliers and have initiated work to provide our customers with emissions data for our products.
