Tata Steel Nederland has become a full member of the Low Emission Steel Standard (LESS), the independent non-profit organisation that promotes the transition of the steel industry to climate neutrality.
LESS, established one year ago, promotes the development of low emission steel standardisation and the associated labelling system. For Tata Steel, the membership strengthens its position as a leader in the European steel industry in the field of low-emission steel production, the company tells Kallanish.
This development brings LESS to a new level of representation, with almost one third of European steel production now participating in the association, the organisation says.
Tata Steel Nederland chief executive Hansvan den Berg underlines that the company supports the objectives of LESS and the development of independent standards. “This standardisation helps customers, policymakers, and the rest of the value chain to build confidence in sustainable steel products,” he notes.
The certifiable standard for low-CO₂ steel provided by LESS allows consumers and markets to determine the contribution a product makes to the sustainability transition, he adds.
