A Guide to Decarbonising Raw Material Procurement

Scope 3 emissions, ESG risks, and green premiums are reshaping how steelmakers buy raw materials.

Steel buyers face growing pressure to cut emissions, comply with EU regulations, and support decarbonisation goals, all while maintaining cost and supply stability. Yet procurement teams are still missing one thing: the right data.

This whitepaper explains how regulations like CSRD, CBAM, and CSDDD are driving a new procurement reality. It outlines how steel producers can move from fragmented supplier data to emissions-aware decision-making, and what role digital solutions play in making sustainability operational.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• Why Scope 3 emissions are now Procurement’s problem
• How EU regulations are changing sourcing and reporting obligations
• What’s driving demand (and premiums) for low-emission steel
• What sustainable procurement looks like in practice (with real data and examples)

Who should read this? Procurement, ESG, and compliance leaders in the steel and metals industry.

Bonus: The whitepaper includes a glossary of key terms and a full bibliography of cited sources.
