We perceive the danger of climate change and its consequences. We intend to gradually reduce our carbon footprint and continue to take a responsible approach to environmental protection.
We are preparing an integrated transformation project based on the use of energy from renewable sources, changes in steel production technology and the greening of primary production. We build on the principles of the circular economy and the gradual change of the portfolio towards the products of the industry that contributes to reducing the carbon footprint.

Today, we take care of 40,000 mature trees on the Třinecké železárny premises.
Every year, together with our employees, we plant at least 1,000 new trees in the surrounding forests.
We manage 787,702 m2 of wooded area in our property.
This year, Třinecké železárny is going to start implementing of specific projects to reduce CO2 emissions into the air. According to calculations, their volume will decrease by more than a half by 2030. The integrated Green Werk Transformation Project will affect the energy sector, the product portfolio and primary production processes.
Třinecké železárny has been striving for several years of maximum possible use of by-products of metallurgical production by recycling. The use of slag and metallurgical gases also brings significant CO2 savings. This fulfils the currently promoted conditions of sustainable production.
More than a thousand new beech trees and more than five hundred young fir trees have been growing since last autumn on the slopes of Smrčiny at the very end of the Tyra Valley in Třinec. The new forest was planted by people from the non-profit organization ČSOP Salamandr thanks to a financial donation from Třinecké železárny.
