We’re certainly not strangers to environmental risks. The effects of climate change—such as extreme weather events and heat waves—may directly impact our ability to operate, making it critical to proactively manage:
Doing so allows us to:
The GHG emissions avoidance in CMC produced steel vs. the industry average equates to powering 1.8M homes for a full year using renewable electricity.
The drive to innovate and improve keeps us at the forefront of energy and resource efficiency. We implement new operating technologies and approaches to improve resource utilization. By reducing our energy intensity and diversifying our power supplies, we’re actively reducing our climate footprint. We also ensure compliance with environmental laws and regulations across jurisdictions.
While most of our environmentally focused activities take place in our mills—which consume more than 95% of our company’s total energy needs—we continue to address environmental risks across our businesses including our recycling and fabrication facilities, among other operations.
Amid rapidly changing stakeholder expectations, we must heighten our focus on sustainable business practices. CMC continues to invest in advanced processes and technologies that minimize our environmental footprint and use of natural resources while maximizing performance, reducing business risks and building trust with our customers.
