OUR WAY TO GREEN STEEL
A commitment we have been supporting for over 20 years
The sustainability strategy guides our actions towards creating value for people, the environment, customers and society.
With transparency, we report our non-financial performance since 2004.
We integrate sustainability into the industrial plan to offer you low-emission, zero-waste steels and to generate positive impacts on value chains.

Inspired by ESG principles, we develop an increasingly sustainable electro-steel production, offering you the best environmental and quality performances across the entire range of our steels for construction.
We do this thanks to the best available technologies, renewable energy and the reduction of the use of raw materials. We invest to reach ambitious targets.
In 2024 we defined 14 KPIs through our ESG Scorecard. We have voluntarily chosen the path of science to set the targets for reducing CO₂ emissions for 2030 that have been approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and that we pursue through verifiable action plans.
Our daily commitment is to cooperate with all partners along the value chain to strengthen the development of a sustainable business model.
Giuseppe Pasini, President Feralpi Group
“We respond to the needs of a market that is evolving towards products that are not only high quality, but also decarbonized. We continue to invest in industrial processes by collaborating with the most important technological partners to always be at our customers' side.”
Uwe Reinecke, General Manager FERALPI STAHL
“The new zero-direct emission rolling mill built in Riesa is a value for our customers. With the most advanced technologies we reduce emissions and strengthen the competitiveness of our supply chain.”
What is FERGreen?

FERGreen®. Transparency is the value that unites us
We have been producing our reinforcing steel in Riesa in an electric arc furnace (EAF) for over 30 years. This makes us a pioneer in the production of resource-saving steel.
The direct CO2 emissions of our secondary steel production are over 90 % lower than those of primary steel production! As a result, our technology produces 80% lower Scope 1+2 emissions compared to conventional steel production from a blast furnace.

Integrated management system for environment, energy and quality
FERALPI STAHL is one of only two German steel plants which have been awarded the EMAS certificate, the EU's highest environmental management certification. Companies only receive this seal if their operational environmental and climate protection exceeds the legally required standard - which must be confirmed by annual audits.
We have carried the EMAS certificate without interruption since 2012.
FERALPI STAHL is also certified in accordance with ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and ISO 9001. Continuous striving for improvements in the areas of environment, safety and energy is also essential for this certification.

Minimum content of recycled, recovered and by-product materials
At Feralpi Stahl in Riesa, we practise a circular economy on a daily basis: we produce our reinforcing steel almost entirely from scrap - transforming waste material into a valuable raw material. On the one hand, we use scrap that has already completed its product life cycle (post-consumer scrap). On the other hand, we use new scrap that has accumulated, for example, in the production of our suppliers (pre-consumer scrap). In addition to post-consumer and pre-consumer scrap, other input materials such as ferroalloys are used for steel production at Feralpi Stahl. These alloys, including those with iron content, are taken into account in determining the recycled content.
All this information undergoes independent annual certification - for the common sustainability goals of Feralpi Stahl and our stakeholders!
