STEULER. RESPONSIBILITY – EVEN IN CHANGING TIMES

Despite global crises and economic upheavals, sustainability remains a central concern of the Steuler Group. We are aware of our responsibility – for the environment, our employees, our German, and international locations. In an era where geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties are diverting attention from climate issues, we remain committed to our goals: sustainability is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Our Progress:

  • Energy efficiency through modern high-temperature tunnel kilns: This technology enables significantly more efficient production compared to conventional batch kilns.
  • 45% of the electricity used at our Höhr-Grenzhausen site is now generated by our own 3.7 MWp photovoltaic power plant – a concrete step towards reducing our local CO footprint.
  • Refractory solutions for green steel production (hydrogen technology): We are developing linings for DRI direct reduction plants that use hydrogen instead of carbon, including Salzgitter AG’s first facility SALCOS.
  • Recycling Initiatives: A dedicated staff unit is driving our recycling rate, which already exceeds 20%, even higher- without compromising on quality.
  • Innovative Products: We develop lightweight products and materials with better insulation that reduce CO₂ emissions in application. Additionally, we continuously work on lowering our firing temperatures.

Employees & Culture: A strong team is the key to innovation and customer satisfaction. At Steuler, integration (“Arrive”) and career development (“Thrive”) are at the forefront. From the start, every colleague is included, encouraged to make a difference, and shares responsibility for advancing our goals.

Sustainability as Part of Our DNA: Our current Sustainability Report shows how we combine ecological and social responsibility with economic success. At the same time, we call for political frameworks that reward sustainable investments and accelerate innovations. Only in this way can we remain competitive in the long term and make a real contribution to climate protection.
