PRESS STATEMENT Action Plan is an important signal toward green steel

Jürgen Kerner: “From the employees’ perspective, the Action Plan sends an important signal toward ‘green steel.’ The federal government has thus laid a solid foundation for promoting the transformation of the steel industry. Only by consistently pursuing the path toward a climate-neutral steel industry can we secure the 85,000 jobs in the steel industry and many more along the value chain. The Steel Action Plan must now quickly give rise to concrete support programs and practical implementation. The current crisis and the resulting underutilization of capacity in the industry could lead to massive liquidity problems and requires close support from the federal and state governments. Only in this way will we be able to make ‘green steel’ a reality in Germany.”
