Scroll down to read the article


Bruynzeel Storage Systems is a leading provider of made-to-measure storage solutions for archives, museums, retail, offices, libraries, smart warehouses, healthcare and vertical farming. The company is a leader in sustainability, having already achieved climate neutral status in its own operations for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The next step is to decarbonise the company’s operations fully by achieving net-zero indirect emissions. Bruynzeel has set itself the goal of achieving this target by 2045 at the latest. To help Bruynzeel on that journey, the company has begun to purchase ArcelorMittal steels with XCarb® green steel certificates.

“At Bruynzeel Storage Systems, we want to be the leader in our sector when it comes to enhancing the sustainability of our business,” says Bart Sijben, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the company. “With that in mind, we have already taken action to create a climate-neutral factory. That has reduced our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to zero. Now we are working to decarbonise our indirect – Scope 3 – emissions.”

Bruynzeel can use Magnelis® or cold rolled steel to produce its state-of-the art storage systems

Most of Bruynzeel’s storage solutions are made with steel due to the flexibility of the material. “Steel is easy to shape and form into the required dimensions and shapes, but it does have a big impact on the carbon footprint of the business,” notes Bart Sijben. “Our goal is to cut our Scope 3 emissions to zero by 2045. We believe that XCarb® green steel certificates are the best solution available today to help us achieve that goal.”

Giving customers the facts

To help customers make a choice, Bruynzeel can provide quotes which detail the environmental impact of the raw materials used in its products. “We can quote for solutions with and without XCarb® green steel certificates, but the quotes show the environmental impact of each option,” explains Marius Schlatmann, Group Marketing Manager for Bruynzeel.



Supporting ArcelorMittal’s journey to net-zero

In the future, Bruynzeel wants to be the first customer to use ArcelorMittal steel produced with low-carbon technology. Until then they are supporting ArcelorMittal on its journey to zero emissions by buying XCarb® green steel certificates with their orders.

By buying XCarb® green steel certificates with its orders, Bruynzeel is helping ArcelorMittal on its journey to net zero

“While ArcelorMittal is developing its low-carbon technologies we will continue to support the steelmaker on its own journey to net-zero,” says Bart Sijben. “ArcelorMittal is the market leader and produces high quality products. We also appreciate their excellent service and short lead-time offer. We feel closely linked. ArcelorMittal has the same culture as Bruynzeel despite ArcelorMittal being a large organisation.”
