Word from your future manager

Sustainability is at the core of SSAB’s strategy - and for us it is already real actions through a major investment program that will radically transform our production technology towards fossil-free operations. To support this transformation, we want to strengthen our in-house expertise in product LCA calculations, which play an important role as we move toward fossil-free steels.

My recently established team and I are on an exciting journey - creating new knowledge for SSAB that truly makes a difference. Join SSAB Europe’s sustainability team, where you will find an enthusiastic and open atmosphere with many opportunities to learn.

About Us

Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining a journey. A journey that we believe is essential for the sustainability of this planet. Steel has been one of the most important materials for developing our society and it will continue to be so. In the roofs over our heads, in the bridges connecting our cities and in the cars of tomorrow. At SSAB we are proud of our history and leadership in high-strength steel. But we are also aware that the production of steel is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world. That has to change. That is why we have developed the world’s first fossil-free steel production and have committed to becoming largely fossil-free. As part of SSAB you will be instrumental in realizing this goal and pushing for the green transformation of the whole steel industry.
