ESG & Sustainability
Green Steel Vision
At Aktif Çelik, we combine industrial growth with environmental responsibility. With our EAF-based production preference and sustainable supply chain strategy, we are progressing toward our 2030 carbon neutral target.
EAF production generates 75% less carbon emissions compared to BOF
Over 95% recycling rate in scrap steel-based production
Zero wastewater target with closed-loop water systems
Full carbon neutrality target in the supply chain
Our Sustainability Commitments
EAF-Based Production Preference
All producers in our supply network use Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology. This preference means 75% lower CO₂ emissions per ton compared to the traditional blast furnace (BOF) process.
Scrap-Based Steel Cycle
EAF facilities use 95%+ recycled scrap steel. This minimizes natural resource consumption while maximizing energy efficiency.
Optimized Logistics
We continuously reduce our transportation-related carbon footprint through route optimization, full container load policy, and regional warehousing strategy.
Digital Transformation
We minimize physical resource consumption with a paperless office policy, digital certification, and online catalog system.
Responsible Supply Chain
We require ISO 14001 environmental management system compliance from all our suppliers. Regular environmental audits and reporting processes are implemented.
EU CBAM Compliance
We are proactively working to achieve full compliance with the European Union Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requirements.
