South Korean steelmaker POSCO has recently been recognized by the World Steel Association (worldsteel) with the award of a ‘Climate Action Member' certificate for its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
According to a POSCO statement, POSCO has now received the certificate for two consecutive years as the company abided by the emissions standard set by worldsteel and submitted complete and verifiable CO2 data.
Since 2007, worldsteel has been granting the certification in question to its member firms that fulfill their commitment to take part in its CO2 data collection program.
POSCO has also become a member of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a UK-based non-profit organization holding the largest database of primary corporate climate change information.
In February this year, POSCO became the world's first steelmaker to publish an annual carbon report, the company pointed out.
