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.
By 2030, we will have been working on a number of innovative projects that are transforming steel production, the aim of which is to reduce CO2 emissions by
55%
use of energy from renewable sources
change in steel production technology

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.
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.
Reconstruction of one of the two blast furnaces and modernization of the last of the three wind heaters. These are the two most important events of this year, which will lead to a reduction in the energy intensity of the operation in Třinecké železárny (TŽ). Together with the purchase of energy from renewable sources for the operation of all office buildings, this will mean a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
