Net-Zero: Carbon Reduction Plan

BM Group seeks to add value to the customer wherever possible and we have gone further than just reducing emissions directly related to our operations. We have completed full life cycle analysis (LCA) of selected steel products to fully calculate the cradle to grave emissions. Therefore, we are proud to be the first UK steel stockholder to be able to offer these products certified CarbonNeutral® in accordance with the carbon neutral protocol. This enables BM Group to supply each customer purchasing our steel* with an accredited certificate fully verified as proof for any end client.

We have worked with our partners to provide an option to offset emissions generated from extraction and processing of raw materials, product manufacturing and distribution, use, and end- of-life disposal. In addition, armed with our complete scope 1,2 & 3 carbon emissions data the BM Group has set clear targets to reduce emissions by 58.8% for scopes 1&2 and 63.8% for scope 3 by 2034.

Project & Impact

Our offsets are VCS/CDM/Gold Standard certified and supports a global renewable energy portfolio. In addition to reducing emissions, delivering urgent Climate Action (SDG 13), renewable energy projects like this one support Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7) to increase the development of sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure, helping reduce blackouts and shortages during peak hours of demand, as well as increasing the share of renewables in the global energy mix. Clean power projects also contribute to Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), with the local economy and residents’ livelihoods improved through the creation of jobs – full-time operational roles and temporary jobs during construction. 




Our Partners 

To achieve CarbonNeutral® certification, BM Group is working with Climate Impact Partners and Optimised, specialists in carbon market solutions for climate action, and had an independent assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions produced from steel supply and manufacturing.

Supporting this further, we have a partnership with Stahlwerk Thüringen (SWT), a leading figure in the sustainable side of steel manufacturing. SWT will supply the BM Group with its innovative CO2-reduced product line which not only underlines BM Steel Group's dedication to using environmentally friendly products and services but also aligns with their continuous efforts to reduce energy consumption
