Leading European steel companies and steel organizations have signed a charter to promote sustainable, energy-efficient steel construction at the invitation of IPO Steel Network. Names such as ArcelorMittal, Salzgitter, Ruukki, Tenaris, worldsteel and EUROFER are among the giants that have put their signature to the document.
The charter translates into practice a desire to work closer together and maintain a dialogue among all the actors of the steel construction sector in order to lay down a strategy to promote the most effective environmental measures, optimize research and information on steel applications for sustainable construction and make better use of the potential for recycling and reutilization of steel structures and components.
Actions under the Steel Network Sustainable Construction Charter include increasing cooperation in steel construction, raising the awareness of stakeholders of the benefits of steel construction, promoting steel recycling and the reuse of steel components, and ensuring training and the dissemination of information.
