For the steel industry, carbon reduction presents a significant, but conquerable hurdle in our evolution to a more sustainable world. With 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions coming from steel, the race to develop zero-impact steel is a huge step on the path to net zero. As outlined in the FIRST SHIFT for the future of our latest white paper, the focus on other critical planetary boundaries, like water scarcity and biodiversity loss, is beginning to take a more major role in sustainability. How will the steel industry navigate this complex transition and position itself in a future defined by ever-expanding sustainability demands? Read our new Future of Steel white paper to hear how C-level experts across the industry value chain answered this question. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gKMRs7XX #GreenTransition #FutureofSteel #StainlessSteel #whitepaper
