Severfeld joins the A-list for climate change

Steelwork contractor Severfield has been recognised for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change by CDP, the global environmental non-profit organisation, securing a place on its annual A-list.

Based on information reported through CDP’s 2023 climate change questionnaire, Severfield is one of a small number of companies that achieved an A-list ranking, out of over 21,000 firms assessed.

Severfield said that achieving an ‘A’ rating demonstrates the Group’s commitment to best practice when it comes to reducing its impact on climate change.

Other achievements made by the Group include: achieving a 33% reduction in its Scope 1 and 2 GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions from 2018; switching to green electricity tariffs with 94% of its total purchased and consumed energy coming from these sources in 2023, and being accredited as carbon neutral for the third year running.

Severfield CEO Alan Dunsmore, commented: “Our commitment to reducing our impact on climate change has never been clearer. As market leaders in the steel industry, we have a responsibility to display best practice when it comes to environmental disclosure, and we are pleased that CDP have recognised that we are delivering on this.”

CDP CEO Sherry Madera, said: “Congratulations to all the companies on CDP’s A List. Earning a place on the A List is about more than the score. It’s an indication of high-quality, complete data that equips companies with a holistic view of their environmental impact, serves as a baseline for transition plans and, crucially, enables them to follow through on their ambitions.”
