Our climate change strategy
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues the world faces today. In response to this challenge, Corus will be part of the solution and will achieve a leading position within the steel industry whilst creating value.
Our climate change strategy
Emissions reduction
We will continue to improve our current processes to increase our energy efficiency and to reduce our carbon footprint, with a target of reducing CO2 emissions per tonne of liquid steel (t/tls) by at least 20% (to <1.5t/tls) by 2020 compared to 1990 levels.
Investing in technology
We will continue to invest in longer term breakthrough technologies, through initiatives such as ULCOS.
Market opportunities
We will develop new products and services to reduce the environmental impact over our products’ life-cycles to help our customers to reduce their carbon footprints.
Employee engagement
We will actively engage our workforce, encouraging everyone to contribute.
Lead by example
We will further develop our pro-active role in global steel sector initiatives through the International Iron & Steel Institute (IISI).
We will be launching our climate change campaign during 2008. This will aim to create awareness and understanding of climate change, and what it means for our employees both at work and at home. Various activities are planned during the year, including a yellow “sun spots” campaign at all of our sites to improve awareness, inspire action and challenge behaviour in our “Small actions, big results” initiative.
