Amid a growing awareness in construction practices to preserve resources, conserve energy, and protect the environment, the construction industry is embracing the concept of sustainable development-the ability to build the facilities and structures we need today without depleting resources for the future.

We believe steel is a responsible choice for sustainable development, in part due to its durability. Durability is a significant sustainable attribute of steel because it is easy to use, incurs little waste and can be readily recycled. Moreover, steel structures require less energy and resources over time to repair or replace. Structures built with steel have optimal energy performance.

In everything we do, we operate with the environment as a key consideration. It is our goal to minimise our impact on the environment and make better use of the resources we use. Sustainability is at the heart of our vision.
