SUSTAINABILITY

JSW Steel USA is working for a better today, stronger tomorrow for a better every day.

OVERVIEW

We are sowing seeds for a greener future by making our steel via the EAF method, and operating the largest and most modern Consteel™ EAF technology in North America. We strive to focus on the environmental impact of our steel-making operations with a long-term, strategic approach. We make every effort for our products and operations to ensure the utmost environmental protection and resource conservation. Above all, take care of the well-being of our employees, community, and the planet in which we live while delivering exceptional quality steel.

We are making strides to reduce our environmental footprint per ton of steel produced, conserve resources, and have a corporate wide goal of carbon neutrality by 2050.

Steel & Sustainability; the future is green.

Sustainability is at the heart of JSW Group and JSW Steel USA.

HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

At JSW Steel USA we are committed to creating safe sustainable steel. We believe that all accidents can be prevented; we continuously strive to achieve and maintain our goal of zero accidents. We strive to operate our facilities safely and efficiently as possible to minimize our impact on human health and the environment, including a continuous focus on further reducing our carbon emissions as we produce sustainable steel.

US Department of Energy Better Plants Program

Since March 2023, JSW Steel USA has voluntarily pledged to partner with the U.S. Department of Energy Better Plants Program with the goal of reducing energy consumption by at least 10% at its facilities. 

JSW Steel USA aims to lead steel manufacturing by boosting efficiencies, while promoting ambitious energy, water, waste, and carbon reduction goals.

Environmental Product Declarations

JSW Steel USA adopted the ground-breaking Smart EPD Platform to monitor, publish, and digitally lead the strategic direction toward decarbonization. JSW Steel USA has become the first steel company in the United States to adopt Smart EPD™ to publish Environmental Product Declarations, or EPDs. EPDs are internationally accepted, third-party verified documents that provide clear and transparent information about a product’s environmental impact across its value or supply chain. State and Federal Buy Clean policies are increasingly relying on EPDs to disclose the embodied carbon of products. Access the carbon steel plate and pipe EPD library below. 

PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP

We are committed to managing environmental issues as a fundamental part of our business strategy. As part of our motto “better every day” we work to ensure a better today for a stronger tomorrow. The environmentally conscious, green steel methods we deploy uphold the integrity of our processes, products, and facilities using ethical, sustainable practices. We adhere to the principles of legal compliance, environmental stewardship, continual improvement, and involvement and cooperation.

WHY CONSTEEL™ EAF TECH MATTERS

Consteel™ EAF technology is among the most energy-efficient and lowest carbon-emitting method of steelmaking, resulting in a significantly lower total carbon footprint. JSW Steel USA is already above the bar for the global steel industry objectives for the 2050 Paris Agreement.

HOW WE MAKE GREEN STEEL

Steel is a uniquely sustainable material because once it is made, it can be infinitely recycled, making it a product that is used and not consumed. The investment in making steel is never wasted and can be capitalized on by future generations. Scrap is sent to our Ohio location, it is melted and reused to create safe, sustainable steel.
