Advancing the shift to sustainability
Sustainability was a key topic during the day, and it was discussed how sustainability is an integral part of the commercial strategy and present in all aspects of the operations.
“Recycling is in our DNA; we’ve been doing this for over 100 years,” explains Göran Björkman. “Our stainless steel contains 82% recycled steel and all electricity bought in Europe is fossil-free to name a few examples. The main contribution to sustainability is however through our product offering, enabling the transition to renewable energy sources, electrification of industries, innovation in the medical sector and much more.”
A few examples of products leveraging on the shift to sustainability are industrial heating technology, stainless tubes for hydrogen refueling stations, strip steel for compressors and coated bi-polar plates for fuel cell technology for cars, trucks and hydrogen production. Alleima also provides high performance materials for concentrated solar power and geothermal energy.
Additionally, a large and increasing share of the strategic R&D budget is geared towards the green transition.
