GSCC Affirms Vallourec’s Decarbonization Strategy
07/08/2026 - Tubular solutions company Vallourec has received certification under the Global Steel Climate Council (GSCC) standards, the company has announced.
GSCC-approved certification body CARES assessed Vallourec’s Corporate Average Steel Emissions Intensity (CASEI) and its decarbonization targets and verified a 2021 base value of 1.70 metric tons of CO₂e per metric ton of hot-rolled steel. Vallourec said that thanks to decarbonization initiatives deployed across its sites, its intensity was reduced to 1.16 tCO₂e per metric ton in 2025.
"This demonstrates the group’s alignment with the GSCC standard, which requires the carbon intensity of hot-rolled steel to remain below 1.20 tCO₂e per metric ton by 2030," Vallourec said.
Vallourec is the first operator of both blast furnaces and electric arc furnaces to join the GSCC.
“We are pleased to welcome Vallourec to the GSCC as our first certified member operating both integrated and electric arc furnace (EAF) steel production, demonstrating that meaningful decarbonization is achievable across all technology pathways,” said Adina Renee Adler, executive director of GSCC.
Vallourec joins eight other certified members which have already lowered CO2 by almost 3 million equivalent metric tons, Adler continued.
Vallourec said it has been diligently acting on an ambitious decarbinization plan. It was already three years ahead of schedule on its previous greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals, it said, and since joining the GSCC, it has realigned its decarbonization pathway to meet the rigorous GSCC Steel Climate Standard.
The standard requires the carbon intensity of hot-rolled steel to remain below 1.20 tCO₂e per metric ton by 2030.
Vallourec said it also aims to plans to reduce the carbon footprint of its finished tubes by 30% and to reduce overall Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 25% by 2030.
“By combining operational excellence, low-carbon steelmaking, circularity and innovation, we are turning this ambition into tangible results across our industrial footprint, while continuing to deliver the premium tubular solutions our customers rely on,” said Philippe Guillemot, chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer of the Vallourec Group.
