GreenEdge Supports Sustainable Steelmaking with Verified Emission Reductions
India’s leading steel producer, JSW Steel, has launched GreenEdge, a new low-emission steel brand. This initiative helps customers reduce Scope 3 emissions and aligns with JSW Steel’s decarbonization goals. GreenEdge delivers both productivity and environmental responsibility, without compromising steel quality.
GreenEdge products come with verified carbon reduction certificates. JSW Steel cuts its CO₂ emissions through internal projects, and independent auditors verify these reductions. A virtual carbon bank tracks these reductions, ensuring full transparency.
Carbon Certification and Compliance with International Standards
In addition to its internal efforts, JSW Steel’s GreenEdge Steel meets global standards, such as the Worldsteel Supply Chain Guidelines (2024) and ISO 22095:2020. Customers can choose carbon discounts based on their specific sustainability needs, making GreenEdge an appealing option for environmentally-conscious businesses.
Moreover, JSW Steel reaffirmed its commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050 in its FY2024/2025 report. The company’s SEED (Sustainable Energy, Environment, and Decarbonization) initiatives reduced 1.87 million tons of CO₂ emissions this fiscal year. Four major plants—Vijayanagar, Dolvi, Salem, and Tarapur—now hold ResponsibleSteel certification, representing 80% of JSW Steel’s production.
Major Investments in Green Steel Production
Looking forward, JSW Group plans a green steel plant in Salav, Maharashtra, with an investment of INR 500–600 billion (USD 5.8–7 billion). This plant will serve the European market, which is preparing for the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). This investment highlights JSW Steel’s focus on global competitiveness and environmental responsibility.
