TeraSteel - Sustainability Program

Our projects

Climate change is one of the major challenges facing the world today.

Only 1.5 degrees Celsius separates us from exceeding the limit of global warming, with devastating effects on the environment and our quality of life.
That's why, at TeraSteel through the Planet Passionate project, we set concrete objectives for the next 10 years in 4 major directions: energy, carbon, circularity and water.

Energy

60% of electricity consumption to be generated directly in the factory starting with 2025 through installed solar power plants.
Installation of solar photovoltaic systems on all production buildings by 2026

Carbon

Planting more than 10,000 saplings by 2030 in order to reduce carbon emissions from the atmosphere.
40% of equipment (forklifts, combilifts) to be electric by 2024.
All company cars must be fully zero emissions capable by 2030.
50% of new car purchases for the car park to be electric cars by 2025.

Circularity

50,000 PET bottles to be collected and recycled by 2025
Zero recyclable waste of the company to the landfill by 2025.
Zero company waste to the landfill by 2030

Water

630,000 liters of recycled rainwater starting with 2023.
Reducing by 50% the water consumption from the network starting with 2023.
7 projects for cleaning the river beds until 2025.

Why Planet Passionate?

The sustainable development of a business means strategy, beyond the numbers. Sustainability in business means the ability to develop with minimal impact on natural resources, to create more with less. It means the implementation of sustainable solutions with clear targets regarding the consumption of energy from renewable sources, the decrease of carbon emissions, the circularity of materials in nature and the saving of drinking water reserves.

Green energy

With the help of the 952 photovoltaic panels installed on the roofs of our factories in Romania, 20% of the energy consumed for the production of thermal insulation panels, respectively 60% of the energy consumed for the production of cold galvanized profiles comes from solar energy.

Electric forklifts

By purchasing electric forklifts for daily logistics activities, we reduce diesel fuel consumption by more than 11 tons annually.

Fighting deforestation

Fighting deforestation is complicated, but planting a tree is within our power. Our team planted over 2000 spruce and larch saplings, in the village of Bistrita Bârgăului.

Fighting plastic pollution

Plastic pollution is a major problem worldwide, and it is urgent to fight it. That is precisely why we are committed to strictly complying with a set of rules and habits, through which we manage to recycle over 250 kg of plastic pets annually.

The circularity of water

Through our everyday actions, we can save water and contribute, each of us, to a better world. With the help of the rainwater collection system, we will be able to reuse over 700 cubic meters of water annually.

Electric cars

Electric cars are not going to take the market by storm but it's going to be a gradual improvement for all of us. The non-polluting, 100% electric cars - which are used for the company's activity, represent only a first step towards a cleaner environment.

Education for nature

Not all classrooms have four walls, and nature is a tool that helps children experience not only their environment, but also themselves. Together with the TeraSteel children, we visit the Alexandru Borza Botanical Garden in Cluj-Napoca, a special location full of inspiration for lovers of nature and beauty.

Cleaning the rivers

In our company, we started concrete actions to reduce consumption, so that in one year we collected and recycled approx. 500 m3 of rainwater. Moreover, we are actively involved in what it means to clean the riverbeds in the areas where we operate and in the restoration of natural ecosystems. Together we make a better world.
