Alfa Acciai and Acciaierie di Sicilia continually strive for the best available techniques, and are committed to pursuing an ongoing policy to improve environmental performance, minimising the negative impact of their operations on the environment where technically possible and economically sustainable.
Alfa Acciai and Acciaierie di Sicilia have adopted environmental management systems as a tool for all stakeholders which ensures that respect for the environment is pursued and achieved at the best, and through these management systems are committed to:
In particular, the system is characterised by interaction between environmental requirements and production processes, with the precise aim of identifying environmental aspects, assessing impact regarding activities, and controlling their effect in terms of:
These objectives underpin the Environmental Policy and are transformed into concrete plans and targets that can be measured and monitored regularly.
Alfa Acciai has held certification since May 2005 and Acciaierie di Sicilia since February 2004.
A new feature has been added to the Brescia-based Alfa Acciai production site: the ISO 50001 certification for Energy Management, which helps develop a systematic approach in identifying, recording and evaluating energy-related results thus providing the best most effective means of managing and implementing its corporate Energy Policy.
Alfa Acciai’s key strategic priority is ongoing improvement of the its own corporate performance, including energy performance, through the implementation of energy efficiency measures in production processes and related auxiliary services to reduce the impact on the Environment.
All this is achieved through:
In 2023, the Alfa Acciai Group obtained the Corporate Carbon Footprint certification for its 9 production facilities and is now among the first Italian steel companies to hold it.
The CCF is a method for calculating and reporting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an organisation, expressed as tonnes of CO2eq.
This certification is the baseline for the Group when setting up an action plan to improve/mitigate its GHG emissions through specific measures and investments.
This practice is also instrumental to ensuring compliance of products, components and materials with current sustainability protocols for the construction industry (such as LEED and ITACA).
Requirements:
Measurement of environmental performance:
Alfa Acciai and Acciaierie di Sicilia are among the first European companies to obtain SUSTSTEEL certification (sustainable steel).
EUROFER, the European Steel Association has created the mark SUSTEEL to organise, develop and promote the sector of products for steel construction, based on an independent certification scheme, in the context of its members’ sustainability and corporate social responsibility, so as to allow an assessment by the users and the other stakeholders, such as the European, national and local institutions.
