SteelAsia Manufacturing Corp. achieved a 'very good' SQS2 sustainability rating from Moody's, marking the highest rating in the region for its Sustainable Finance Framework. This rating follows a second-party opinion and supports SteelAsia's strategy to develop a low-carbon steel industry in the Philippines.

The company utilizes modern production technologies, renewable energy, and rainwater recycling. Additionally, the independent verifier DNV confirmed that SteelAsia's Calaca plant has a carbon footprint nearly 90% lower than the global average. The company plans to build 3 million metric tons per year of new green steel capacity to reduce reliance on higher-carbon imports.
