Continuous improvement as a success factor A key driver behind this achievement is the Group’s ambitious climate strategy combined with transparent reporting practices and strategic commitment. Swiss Steel Group has defined clear decarbonization targets, which have been externally validated by the internationally recognized Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), ensuring alignment with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Climate Agreement.
Swiss Steel Group has been participating in CDP reporting for several years and has continuously improved – from C in 2022 to B in 2023 and to level A in 2024 and 2025. This rating does not measure the absolute level of emissions, but rather the strategic quality in addressing climate protection issues.
CDP as an international benchmark for climate transparency and managementThe CDP rating is one of the most influential benchmarks in today’s business environment and is increasingly used by business partners, lenders, and investors to assess climate and ESG risks. Disclosing through CDP is crucial for companies aiming to lead in sustainability, as it helps identify risks and opportunities, improve environmental performance, and align with regulatory requirements.
At the same time, CDP transparency enhances reputation, builds trust with key stakeholders, and positions companies to better manage climate-related challenges and opportunities in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
