- International EPD certification:

Baosteel/VAMA's cold-rolled and galvanized products have passed the EPD certification in steel industry, providing carbon footprint data throughout the entire life cycle (e.g., the carbon intensity of cold-rolled products≤ 1.8t CO₂e/t), which directly meets the requirements for the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) declaration.

- GRS recycled materials:

The galvannealed steel products contain over 30% of recycled raw materials certified by GRS, complying with the EU's Construction Products Regulation (CPR) and the North American LEED building certification standards.

- Energy-saving galvanizing technology:

The low-energy-consumption electro-galvanizing process of HBIS-POSCO is adopted. Compared with traditional hot-dip galvanizing, it reduces energy consumption by 25% and cuts volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions by over 90%.

- High-strength and lightweight materials:

Baosteel's 2000MPa-grade hot stamping formed steel helps automotive customers reduce vehicle weight by 30% and lower the vehicle's full-cycle carbon emissions by 15%.

- Closed-loop for recycled materials:

The product manufacturing process integrates a scrap steel recycling system to ensure that the proportion of recycled steel in exports can be traced (e.g., the proportion of recycled raw materials for galvannealed steel is≥35%).

- Long-life design:

The hot-dip galvanized products have a corrosion-resistant lifespan of over 25 years, reducing the frequency of material replacement in the construction/infrastructure sector.

- Provide product recycling guidelines and information on global cooperative recycling outlets, enabling customers to achieve a "production - use - recycling" closed loop.

- Breaking through green barriers:

EPD certification data can be directly used for EU CBAM customs carbon cost accounting, avoiding additional taxes (for example: carbon cost of cold-rolled products reduced by $12/ton).

- Global universality of certification:

GRS/EPD certification covers the mainstream market entry requirements in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, etc.

- Construction sector:

Galvanized sheets+photovoltaic building materials integration solution, reducing carbon emissions throughout the building lifecycle by 18%.

- Automotive sector:

Ultra-high-strength steel lightweighting solution, helping customers to achieve the EU's 2040 emission reduction target (a 1kg reduction in vehicle weight = a 22kg CO₂ reduction throughout the lifecycle)
