Sustainability is firmly established in Alleima’s operations, with the goal to be industry leader. Impacts arise from both the company’s own operations and the customer offering.
Impact through own operations
Since 1929, Alleima has used recycled steel and an electric arc furnace in production, which are more energy efficient and has a lower climate footprint than traditional steel production with a blast furnace. Today, the products consist of about 81% recycled material, and 96% of the global electricity usage is fossil-free, resulting in a relatively low climate footprint. Alleima is actively working to reduce its environmental impact and to increase the circularity of its raw material use. Its business model is based on a fully integrated value chain, from research to end product, enabling it to control and minimize its climate footprint throughout the production process.
Alleima’s raw materials yard provides production with approximately 81% recycled steel.
Impact through product offering
Alleima enables sustainable development through its broad product offering and plays an important role in the transition to a more sustainable society. The strategy is based on capturing opportunities arising from the electrification of industries, the shift to sustainable energy production, increased energy efficiency and innovations in the medical sector. At the same time, Alleima has a positive impact on society through its entire product portfolio by offering products with a lower climate impact, longer product life cycles and better safety than many of its competitors. Working closely with its customers, Alleima responds to the technical challenges posed by new technologies and supports customers in achieving their sustainability and climate targets.
Alleima’s products contribute to the energy transition. SCW Systems, for example, uses Sanicro® products in gasifiers that convert organic waste into fossil- free hydrogen and green methane.
