Luxembourg-headquartered ArcelorMittal has entered into a 10-year commercial agreement with the Velux Group to supply the roof window maker with more sustainably produced steel.
Denmark-based Velux will gradually increase its order intake of XCarb, an ArcelorMittal product with a minimum of 75% recycled steel that uses 100% renewable electricity during production.
“The long-term agreement between our companies sends a powerful message about the importance of steel in the decarbonization of the everyday materials that we all use,” Laurent Plasman, chief marketing officer of industry, ArcelorMittal Europe – flat products, said in a statement on Tuesday.
The two companies agreed in 2023 to enter a partnership to lower the carbon footprint of the steel used in Velux roof windows by up to 70% vs. conventionally produced steel.
