We’d like to thank all our customers who have answered to their customer needs on scope 3 decarbonisation during the past four years, putting low carbon-emissions steel into products and projects across Europe, from wind towers, electrical cabinets, line pipes, solar structures, steel packaging, to baking trays, window hinges and car seats.

ArcelorMittal is market leader in terms of its offer and availability of low carbon-emissions steel, on the market, today. XCarb® is celebrating its fourth anniversary this month. The XCarb® journey started in 2021, with our first customer Ateliers 3S, who purchased XCarb® steel certificates from ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products, reducing their supply chain emissions with their purchase.

Since the launch, over a hundred Industry, automotive, packaging and electrical steels customers, across all regions and segments thus, have chosen XCarb® products. And we’ve invested in ramping up our production of XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel at our site in Sestao, Spain, as well as broadening the number of steel products available in XCarb®.

Also the number of Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) is steadily increasing. An EPD is a comprehensive, internationally harmonised report that details the life cycle analysis of a product. They are intended to inform prescribers and consumers on the environmental impact of the product and to ease the comparison between products.

Many of our customers have visited ArcelorMittal Sestao, to see XCarb® recycled and renewably produced being made and to learn more about the product’s significantly lower CO2 footprint.

As you can read in this edition, Ateliers 3S remains a loyal and valued customer – just two months ago, in January, at the BAU trade fair, they launched their new roofing panel product, “La Parisienne”, a trapezoidal sheet that reduces the CO2e per tonne of steel by 67% thanks to XCarb® recycled and renewably steel.

We see many customers returning to XCarb®, such has been the success of products with their customers. We’re always delighted when a customer chooses to co-market with us, emphasising the contribution of XCarb® to a lower environmental impact for their product. We are happy with the long-term collaborations and agreements so far. Look at our long-term partnership success stories with Vestas and Velux, just to name a few.

We are proud to have been the first to market our low carbon-emissions steel, and we are excited at what the future holds for XCarb®, in collaboration with our valued customers.

Excited to get on board? Get in touch with your usual ArcelorMittal contact.





Both Paul and Laurent conclude that: “Our teams are here to help you and we’re confident that our XCarb® offer will continue to bring adequate answers to our customers’ sustainability related needs. Looking forward to meeting you soon!”
