In a historic step for Iranian industry, Mobarakeh Steel has achieved significant progress in managing greenhouse gas emissions and evaluating the carbon footprint of its products. These achievements were independently reviewed by SGS Singapore and have placed the company among leading global producers such as ArcelorMittal. As a result, Mobarakeh Steel is now better positioned for long-term access to export markets that place high value on environmental responsibility.
The global climate crisis has made the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions more urgent than ever. Heavy industries, and the steel sector in particular, are now expected to take serious action in reducing their environmental impact. Mobarakeh Steel Company, which already uses cleaner production routes through electric arc furnaces and direct reduction instead of traditional blast furnaces, understands that production volume or product quality alone no longer determine international competitiveness. Today, a company’s standing is strongly tied to its commitment to sustainable practices and responsible production.
Within this context, Mobarakeh Steel’s recent accomplishments mark an important turning point. The successful external verification of the company’s environmental performance places it next to global producers such as ArcelorMittal and SSAB. It also strengthens the company’s readiness for access to export destinations, especially the European Union, where stricter climate-related requirements will come into effect from 2026.
These achievements reflect the organizational maturity of Mobarakeh Steel and its growing role in environmental governance and social responsibility. The verification process required extensive cooperation across different departments and was carried out under the supervision of SGS Singapore, a well-known international auditing body. It shows that Iranian industry, when supported by technical expertise and disciplined management, can take a leading position in regional climate action.
Looking to the future, Mobarakeh Steel aims to reduce its carbon emissions by 30 percent by 2031, corresponding to the Iranian year 1410, and to reach carbon neutrality by 2051, the Iranian year 1430. The company has outlined a long-term plan that includes investment in renewable energy, the development of green hydrogen, and the use of carbon capture and storage technologies. These recent achievements are not just procedural milestones. They form the foundation of a broader transformation toward a greener, more competitive, and more sustainable future for Mobarakeh Steel and Iran’s steel industry, a future in which responsible production is essential for progress.
