28 | COMPANIES Our roadmap and the emissions reduction target of 30% by 2030 for Europe is a big step in the right direction. It’s not a one-size-fits-all model, as different parts of our business are at varying starting points. Geert Van Poelvoorde, CEO ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products steel industry, in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement and the European Union’s commitment to net-zero by 2050 as announced in the Green Deal in December. Our roadmap and the emissions reduction target of 30% by 2030 for Europe is a big step in the right direction. It’s not a one-size-fits-all model, as different parts of our business are at varying starting points. For some sites, certain technologies will work while others will be suited to another route. We’ve spent the last few years testing a range of technologies and now is the time to scale up and put them into action, with the support of the EU and member states, to ensure we are able to fully decarbonise.” ArcelorMittal welcomes the European Commission’s Green Deal Following the publication of the European Commission’s Green Deal, Geert Van Poelvoorde, CEO ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products, says: “Europe’s commitment to reduce its carbon emissions to be net-zero should be applauded and we commend the leadership of Mrs von der Leyen and her team. However, the Green Deal will only work if there is full-scale transformation and support for industries.” “The climate challenge is unprecedented, and bold action is therefore needed. Achieving our ambition of being carbon neutral by 2050 is a major challenge, but with the right political framework – allowing European steelmakers to remain competitive while the steel industry moves to carbon-neutral steelmaking – we’re convinced it’s achievable. The proposal for a carbon border adjustment, which effectively puts a carbon price on imports, recognizes that every country needs to play its part in reducing global CO 2 emissions. By preventing steel production moving to countries where carbon emissions legislation is less strict, and where carbon emissions are therefore higher, means we put a stop to carbon leakage. This is exactly the type of action that is needed.” While support for a carbon border adjustment has been growing in recent months, ArcelorMittal was one of the first companies to support a proposed carbon border adjustment and backs the European Commission’s proposals for a € 35 billion ‘just transition’ fund, to invest in research, innovation and green technology. • ArcelorMittal Europe News brief GERMANY SMS group to build new headquarters complex SMS group is building a new headquarters complex next to the existing buildings at its Mönchengladbach site. The new campus is scheduled to be ready to be moved in in 2023. The decision to build the new facilities stems from the longstanding wish to unite employees from many different business units under one roof while offering them state-of-the-art workplaces. The SMS Campus will bring together employees who, until recently, had been spread across five locations in the immediate area. By merging these locations, SMS group is promoting even closer cooperation along the entire value chain. The Technology, Service and Digitalization Campus will enable agile working within a 5G infrastructure and feature generously spaced social and communication areas. The existing properties in Mönchengladbach will be modernized with a view to optimally integrating with the new facilities. Alongside office equipment and traffic concepts, Model of the new SMS Campus planned to be built in Mönchengladbach (Picture: SMS group) cost aspects were thoroughly analyzed and compared, resulting in the SMS Campus in Mönchengladbach to be the most efficient solution. In particular, the costs of the newly constructed building complex will be offset by avoiding further rental costs and necessary renovations at the existing premises in Düsseldorf, and through the sale of this company property. • SMS group STEEL + TECHNOLOGY 2 (2020) No. 1
