American Katerra Joins GSCC: Advancing a Sustainable Steel Future

We are thrilled to announce that American Katerra has officially become a member of the Global Steel Climate Council (GSCC), a leading organization dedicated to advancing decarbonization in the global steel industry. This milestone reflects our commitment to sustainable practices and aligns with our mission to contribute to a greener, more responsible steel market.

The GSCC is an international coalition of steel producers, fabricators, and associate members working together to reduce carbon emissions across the steel supply chain. Unlike other frameworks that may rely on static or discriminatory metrics, such as the sliding scale used by some organizations, the GSCC focuses on real, science-based emissions reduction targets. It emphasizes corporate-wide commitments to lower emissions, ensuring meaningful climate action without favoring specific production methods. By certifying steel producers who meet rigorous decarbonization standards and fostering collaboration among industry stakeholders, the GSCC drives the adoption of low-carbon steel in markets worldwide.

The organization also advocates for policies that support sustainable steel production and creates networking opportunities for its members. From hosting member forums to promoting thought leadership, the GSCC is building a robust ecosystem where companies like American Katerra can connect with certified steel producers and contribute to the global push for decarbonization.

As a newly established American company founded in October 2024, American Katerra is poised to make a significant impact in the steel industry. Our decision to join the GSCC underscores our dedication to sustainability and our strategic goal of partnering with like-minded organizations. By becoming a member, we gain access to a network of certified steel producers committed to reducing emissions, which aligns with our vision of sourcing low-carbon steel for our future manufacturing operations.

Membership in the GSCC offers American Katerra several key benefits:

Market Signal for Sustainability

By joining the GSCC, we signal our commitment to purchasing low-carbon steel from certified producers, encouraging greater investment in decarbonized steel production. This market demand helps drive down the cost of sustainable steel over time, benefiting the entire industry.

Networking Opportunities

The GSCC facilitates connections with leading steel producers, such as Nucor, and other industry stakeholders. Events like the GSCC’s planned member forum in March 2025 provide platforms for collaboration and knowledge-sharing, enabling us to build partnerships that advance our sustainability goals.

Promotion and Visibility

As a GSCC member, American Katerra is featured on the GSCC members page, showcasing our commitment to sustainability to a global audience. The GSCC also promotes its members through newsletters and announcements, amplifying our presence in the industry.

Advocacy and Influence

Membership allows us to provide input to the GSCC, helping shape policies and initiatives that support sustainable construction and steel production. This aligns with our long-term vision of contributing to a more sustainable built environment.

While American Katerra is still in the early stages of establishing our operations in May 2025, we are actively preparing to integrate decarbonization into our business model. Once our manufacturing facility is operational, we plan to prioritize sourcing low-carbon steel from GSCC-certified producers, provided market requirements align with this approach. Our membership in the GSCC ensures we stay informed about the latest advancements in green steel production and positions us to meet the growing demand for sustainable materials, particularly in high-growth sectors like data centers.

Joining the GSCC is just the beginning of American Katerra’s journey toward sustainable steel production. We are eager to deepen our engagement with the GSCC community. We look forward to participating in upcoming events, contributing to newsletters, and exploring partnerships with certified steel producers. Our goal is to not only meet market demands for sustainable steel but also to inspire others in the industry to prioritize decarbonization.

We extend our gratitude to the GSCC for welcoming us into this dynamic organization and for their commitment to making the steel industry a leader in climate action. Together, we can build a future where low-carbon steel is the standard, driving progress toward a more sustainable world.
