Duferco Travi e Profilati’s new Sustainability Report is now online. It focuses on the economic and sustainability performance of the fiscal year 2021.
After the pandemic, 2021 saw a positive trend driven by the ongoing recovery in demand. This resulted in an increase of production and volumes (+27% tons sold). From an economic point of view, consolidated sales in 2021 benefits from the increased volumes and average product sales prices, which peaked towards the end of the period.
The construction of the first green rolling mill is part of the company’s commitment to a sustainable development. In the fiscal year 2021, the authorization phase for the project has been concluded and entered its executive phase. The over 220-million-euro investment stands as one of the most important industrial projects in the Italian steel industry. Once fully operational, it will endow the Group with a wholly verticalized productive plant, maximizing upstream integration and the overall efficiency of the process. Fully digitalized, the rolling mill’s reheating furnace will be equipped with hydro-methane fuel-injected burners and methane, potentially allowing alternative burning fuel, such as hydrogen or bio-methane.
A constituent element that contributes to the DTP’s standing within its communities is its role as employer. Together with the care for employees and communities and the commitment to grant the best work conditions, this defines who enjoy the inclusive corporate culture.
