"I am therefore very pleased that we are decisively driving forward the reduction in carbon emissions in our value chain together with the Salzgitter Group." The transformation toward a climate-neutral economy can only succeed as part of a network of strong partners, who ensure that the market for carbon-reduced steel products continues to grow steadily."

BSH has already been sourcing initial quantities of green steel from Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH since 2021 with a reduction in the carbon footprint of more than 66 percent. The home appliances manufacturer is now taking the next major step to significantly reduce carbon emissions in its value chain. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH - a subsidiary of Salzgitter AG - to source green steel from a new production route from 2025.
