CO-2 transparency along the entire supply chain


Sustainability is shaping the future of the manufacturing & engineering industry.

One of the biggest challenges we face is responsibly managing our resources, especially when it comes to materials, energy, logistics, etc. At thyssenkrupp Materials UK, we understand this challenge and take action. We're here to support you in adapting to evolving social expectations and regulations like the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR).

Transparency is the first step towards change.


To achieve their sustainability goals, companies first need transparency about the drivers of their CO2 emissions. With our first and only DNV-verified Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) certificates, we can now provide you with this information. The calculation includes all direct and indirect emissions along the entire value chain and helps you to measure your environmental impact. We can also help you take action and reduce your carbon emissions for greener supply chain.

"We have publicly committed to achieving net zero by 2040 and we will continue to promote our vision of a sustainable future in collaboration with our customers. thyssenkrupp Materials UK prides itself on its environmentally responsible and ethical approach to serving our customers’ needs."

Optimal use of resources

 We offer you the only DNV-certified calculation of product carbon footprint (PCF). In our calculations, we consider the entire emissions of our products according to the cradle-to-gate approach, i.e. from production to delivery to our customers' factory gates. We provide the data transparency you require to make informed decisions effectively.

CBAM and SECR: Ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements

Certified PCF calculations are required to fulfil reporting obligations under the the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and additional government regulations around carbon emissions. We can provide you with the relevant data you need as well as expert advice to maintain the highest levels of compliance.

Carbon Tracking: Parts & Components

Determining the product carbon footprint for parts and components is complex and costly and presents many companies with major challenges. We can support you with these projects as well.

Once all components of the finished product have been identified, we examine the entire procurement process "from cradle to gate, plus end of life" - from primary material and production to transportation, storage and delivery to you - with regard to the CO2 emissions generated.

The primary data collected in this way is then supplemented with information from licensed databases and processed by a TÜV-certified partner, enabling us to provide you with the exact CO2 footprint of your product.

Your benefit: You receive important data for your life cycle assessment and bring transparency to your entire supply chain.

 

Our material categories - simple and easy to understand

Our material categories - simple and easy to understand

To help you navigate the materials market, we have divided our product offering into three categories. They are based on the certified calculation of the actual product carbon footprint (PCF) from cradle-to-gate and are based on production processes.

Classic - Proven quality from conventional production lines

These materials stand for the highest quality and decades of expertise. Production is ensured in proven large-scale plants and the material quality corresponds exactly to customer requirements.

Benefit - Partially CO2-optimised products

These materials offer the highest quality of our Classic products combined with a clearly traceable CO2 reduction. These products offer a good balance between price and sustainability.

Advance - CO2-optimised materials with sustainable production methods

Our most advanced materials with the best possible CO2 reduction. The entire material know-how of thyssenkrupp Materials UK with the smallest possible CO2 footprint.

Sustainability consulting for industrial companies

No matter where you are on your journey to greater sustainability, we can support you in making critical decisions. As a consulting service, for example, we work with you to examine your portfolio and identify optimisation potential and share specialist knowledge.

Carbon Compensation

We jointly select an offsetting project from our partners and invest the corresponding amount of the CO2 value consumed. The projects are independently audited and vary in price depending on the subject area.

Your advantage: You make your company more sustainable and can label your parts and components as "climate neutral". This confirms that all CO2 emissions of the labelled service have been calculated and offset via recognised climate protection projects.

Offsetting with the Voluntary Carbon Trade Desk

With the VCC Desk we give you the opportunity to purchase and trade voluntary carbon credit certificates.

Making conscious decisions to reduce CO2 emissions.


Terms such as "green steel" and "green aluminium" are not clearly defined today. When classifying our materials, we therefore consider the manufacturing processes as well as internationally recognised standards such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, ISO standard 14067 and EPDs. This allows us to create a clear and comprehensible classification into three categories to give you transparency and guidance when purchasing materials.
