Disclosure: I am not employed by SSAB. However, I am working as a communications consultant assisting SSAB with factual content updates. In line with Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines, I am proposing these changes on the Talk page for independent editors to review.

Red X symbol Declined Most of these sources are to the company itself and/or press releases from associated/partnered companies/entities. Please consider using references from reliable, independent, WP:SECONDARY sources. Regards,  Spintendo  06:58, 20 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for the feedback @Spintendo: I revised the proposal and replaced most company and partner sources with independent secondary sources, including Reuters, Steel Market Update, Green Steel World and SBTi validation records. I have updated the proposal below for reconsideration. Please find the edited sources with bolded text.
  1. Sustainability initiatives (2020s) suggestion of new section:
SSAB sponsors the Swedish Steel Prize and has been involved in various government-supported research programs, such as the "Steel Eco-System" initiative.
No changes made to the text, just position in paragraph changed.
SSAB is a partner in the HYBRIT initiative, a collaboration launched in 2016 together with mining company LKAB and energy company Vattenfall to develop fossil-free steelmaking using hydrogen instead of coal-based processes. The HYBRIT pilot plant in Luleå began test operations in 2020. In 2021, SSAB delivered the first fossil-free steel produced using the HYBRIT technology to Volvo Group for testing and prototype applications.
Sources: Reuters “Sweden's HYBRIT delivers world's first fossil-free steel”:  https://www.reuters.com/business/sustainable-business/swedens-hybrit-delivers-worlds-first-fossil-free-steel-2021-08-18/, Steel Times International “HYBRIT presents culmination of fossil-free steel research in final report”: https://www.steeltimesint.com/news/hybrit-presents-culmination-of-fossil-free-steel-research-in-final-report
In 2023, the company launched SSAB Zero™, a steel product based on recycled steel and made with fossil-free energy.
Source: Green Steel World “New zero-emission steel – SSAB Zero™ launched, Volvo Group signs delivery agreement”:  https://greensteelworld.com/new-zero-emission-steel-ssab-zero-launched-volvo-group-signs-delivery-agreement
In 2024, SSAB announced that it would build its €4.5 billion fossil-free steel mill in Luleå, Sweden, rather than in Raahe, Finland. The decision, which was made after considering both locations, is expected to reduce Sweden's carbon dioxide emissions by 7% upon completion in 2028. In 2025, the company announced that it has postponed the plan to the end of 2029.
Mention of postponing of the plan added. Source: Steel Market Update “SSAB delays Swedish mill startup by one year due to grid challenges”: https://www.steelmarketupdate.com/2025/06/19/ssab-delays-swedish-mill-startup-by-one-year-due-to-grid-challenges/

2. Operations section: Adding a short overview in the Operations section describing SSAB's geographical footprint in Sweden, Finland and the United States, and its five business segments.
SSAB operates steel production facilities in Sweden, Finland and the United States.
The company is organized into five business segments: SSAB Special Steels, SSAB Europe, and SSAB Americas, as well as the distribution company Tibnor and Ruukki Construction, which focuses on building products and construction solutions.
Source: SSAB Annual Report 2025 PDF s. 4: https://www.ssab.com/en/news/2026/03/ssabs-annual-report-2025-is-published. The proposed additions concern SSAB's current operating structure, business segments and production footprint. As these are company-specific factual details, the Annual Report is the primary authoritative source and is being used solely to verify organizational information rather than to support evaluative or promotional claims.
----
3. North America operations clarified, addition the the start of the section.
North America
SSAB Americas is the group's North American division and is responsible for sales of heavy plate in North America and for steel and plate production in Montpelier, Iowa. SSAB's operations in the United States also include steel production facilities in Mobile, Alabama, which are part of the SSAB Special Steels division. Both facilities use electric arc furnace technology and are based primarily on recycled steel scrap.
Sources: SSAB Annual Report 2025, s. 4–5 "Business segments, markets and major production sites" & p. 28 “SSAB Americas”: https://www.ssab.com/en/news/2026/03/ssabs-annual-report-2025-is-published. This addition clarifies the locations and operational roles of SSAB's North American facilities. Such information is not typically covered in independent secondary sources and is therefore sourced to the company's annual report, which serves as the authoritative source for plant locations, business segment responsibilities and production technologies.
----
4. SSAB Brands and brand names updated accordingly.
Brands
SSAB's brands and product names include:
  • Hardox®
  • Strenx®
  • GreenCoat®
  • Toolox®
  • Armox®
  • SSAB AM
  • SSAB Boron
  • SSAB COR-TEN
  • SSAB Docol®
  • SSAB Domex®
  • SSAB Form
  • SSAB Laser®
  • SSAB Multisteel
  • SSAB Weathering
Source and list updated: SSAB “Corporate identity and brands”: https://www.ssab.com/en/company/about-ssab/ssab-in-brief/corporate-identity-and-brands. The current Wikipedia brand list is outdated and contains legacy items that are no longer listed among SSAB's current brands and product families. The proposed update is intended to align the article with the company's currently identified brands and product names.
----
5. Suggested removal of the Carbon footprint table and replacement with a new section. The comparability between the table’s older reporting methodology and the emissions data reported in recent annual reports is unclear, which means that it may not be reliable to extend the table with figures for 2021–2025.
Carbon footprint
SSAB is one of the largest carbon dioxide emitters in Sweden and Finland due to its blast furnace-based steel production.
As part of its transition to fossil-free steelmaking, the company is replacing blast furnaces with electric arc furnaces at its Nordic production sites.
The company has set science-based targets to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 47.9% by 2033 and by 93% by 2045, compared with 2018 levels, and aims to achieve net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions across its value chain by 2045.
Sources: Reuters “Sweden's SSAB to invest $4.8 bln in fossil-free steel mill” https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/swedens-ssab-invest-48-bln-mln-fossil-free-steel-mill-2024-04-02/, Eurometal “Approval has been granted for SSAB’s new electric arc furnace facility in Luleå”, https://eurometal.net/approval-has-been-granted-for-ssabs-new-electric-arc-furnace-facility-in-lulea/, Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), validated targets for SSAB: https://sciencebasedtargets.org/target-dashboard (The downloadable target database contains an entry for SSAB [row 12594 in Excel], listing a 48% emissions reduction target by 2033 (base year 2018), a 93% reduction target by 2045 (base year 2018, and a net-zero target across the value chain by 2045.)

Hello @Spintendo, do you have a moment to revise my updated suggestion above, where the sources have been diversified? Thanks a lot! Dingle JS (talk) 13:08, 22 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
