Stegra Joins LESS aisbl to Advance Low-Emission Steel Standards

Stockholm, Sweden – [Date] – Stegra, the Swedish steel innovator focused on sustainable, near-zero-emission steel production, has become a member of LESS aisbl (Low Emission Steel Standard).

LESS aisbl was founded to create a unified, credible label for low- and near-zero emission steel, enabling transparent and comparable benchmarks to speed the industry’s decarbonisation. Its members now represent around 45% of Europe’s steel production.

“We are building a company that will only produce steel with close to zero emissions from day one,” said Niklas Wass, Head of Boden Operations at Stegra. “A credible and transparent label like LESS is essential to show the decarbonisation level of our products and to reach future-oriented markets. We believe LESS should become the official EU label for low- and near-zero emission steel.”

“Stegra brings both technical excellence and a strong sustainability vision to our community,” added Dr. Carmen Ostwald, Secretary General of LESS aisbl. “Their participation reinforces our mission to build a harmonized framework for low-emission steel and accelerate the sector’s transition to climate neutrality.”

Stegra’s membership underscores the company’s commitment to innovation, transparency and collective progress, joining the industry-wide effort to reduce carbon emissions while keeping European steel competitive and resilient.
