Tata Steel Europe Rolls Out a Carbon Surcharge

Tata Steel Europe confirmed that it’s implementing a carbon surcharge on all new steel across Europe, effective July 2021. This new initiative by the India-based steelmaker will essentially pass on the cost of carbon emissions allowances to the buyer.

“We recognise the challenges of climate change,” said a Tata Steel Europe spokesperson. “Tata Steel’s strategy is to build the leading European steel business, which is sustainable in every sense.”
