Indian steel producer JSW Steel, the flagship company of JSW Group, has launched its GreenEdge low–emission steel brand to help customers reduce Scope 3 emissions, the company said in a statement.
The company notes that GreenEdge allows you to reduce your carbon footprint without compromising productivity.
JSW Steel reduces CO₂ emissions by implementing related additional projects, ensuring that it is real and has occurred within the company's value chain. All carbon emissions reductions are independently verified by leading third-party certification bodies. They are documented and placed in the CO₂ virtual bank, which is also monitored by an outside auditor.
As noted, JSW GreenEdge Steel offers flexible carbon discounts, allowing customers to purchase steel with proven emission reduction certificates according to their requirements. The new brand fully complies with the Worldsteel Supply Chain Guidelines (2024), the Greenhouse Gas Protocol for Project Accounting Standard and ISO 22095:2020.
By the end of 2024/2025, the company confirmed its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, Fortune India writes. Its plants in Vijayanagar, Dolwa, Salem and Tarapura have received ResponsibleSteel certification covering about 80% of JSW Steel's primary production. In fiscal year 2024/2025 alone, JSW SEED initiatives (becoming energy, environment, and decarbonization) resulted in a 1.87 million ton reduction in CO₂ emissions. The company is also making efforts to integrate more scrap into the steel production process and optimize industrial gas networks.
