Outokumpu, a pioneer in sustainable stainless steel, and Alstom, a pioneer in smart and sustainable mobility, have entered a partnership for the supply of Outokumpu Circle Green®, stainless steel with up to 93% lower carbon footprint compared to the global industry average. The first delivery is scheduled for 2026 and will be used in the latest generation of the Alstom Metropolis metro cars. The partnership supports both companies’ ambitious climate targets and SBTi commitment and contributes to Europe’s goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050.
The collaboration between Outokumpu and Alstom supports Alstom’s goal to reduce emissions from procured goods and services with 30% by 2030. It will enable Alstom to integrate a higher steel scrap content rate in its products.
Outokumpu Circle Green® was the first innovation of its kind on a global scale with such a low carbon footprint and with a product-specific footprint calculation for every delivery. Currently, more than 40 leading companies from various industry sectors in Europe and Asia are using this solution to reduce their carbon footprint.
