Aperam targets -20% emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050
Aperam has published its enhanced climate roadmap and 2025 sustainability report, displaying emission reduction targets aligned with the Paris Agreement. The steelmaker reaffirms its positioning on responsible production and energy transition as central strategic pillars.
Structured climate objectives independently verified
Aperam has defined an enhanced climate trajectory, independently verified by Moody's as compatible with the commitments of the Paris Agreement. The group aims for a 20% reduction in emission intensity (Scope 1, 2 and 3) by 2030 compared to 2021, and the achievement of carbon neutrality by 2050. These objectives are part of the 2025 sustainability report, prepared with reference to the European CSRD directive (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive).
The group's average CO₂ intensity (Scope 1 and 2) stands at 0.4 tonnes of CO₂e per tonne of crude steel over the past three years, a level below the sector average. The group remains the world's leading producer of stainless steel and specialized alloys certified ResponsibleSteel in Europe (2021) and Brazil (2023).
Energy efficiency and circular economy at the heart of the model
Energy efficiency is establishing itself as an integral element of Aperam's decarbonization strategy. The group combines large-scale renewable energy projects, process electrification and technological innovation to reduce its emissions while optimizing operational performance. These initiatives strengthen the resilience of the global production network and support the delivery of stainless steel and lower-carbon alloys.
In 2025, water use intensity decreased by more than 5% on an annual basis. Aperam's circular model relies on recycled and renewable inputs: recycled scrap in Europe and eucalyptus-based biomass in Brazil, levers that support the decarbonization trajectory.
