GreenPro certification is awarded following a rigorous lifecycle-based assessment that evaluates environmental performance across the product lifecycle, including raw material sourcing, manufacturing, product use, resource efficiency, and end-of-life management. Through independent third-party verification, the certification provides credible assurance of a product's environmental attributes and supports transparent, sustainability-focused procurement decisions.
As part of its Sustainable Products Programme, JSW Steel has expanded its portfolio of GreenPro-certified products across multiple steel categories, including automotive-grade steel products and innovative construction solutions such as FE 500D and FE 550D TMT rebars. These products are developed using resource-efficient manufacturing practices and circular economy principles, including increased material efficiency, recycling, and beneficial utilisation of by-products. GreenPro-certified products support customers in reducing lifecycle environmental impacts, advancing sustainable construction and manufacturing practices, and contributing to broader decarbonisation and resource-efficiency objectives.
Several GreenPro-certified products also contribute to green building initiatives by supporting recognised sustainable building frameworks such as IGBC and LEED. By increasing the availability of independently certified steel solutions, JSW Steel enables customers to integrate sustainability considerations into procurement decisions, reduce the environmental footprint of their projects and products, and advance the transition to a low-carbon economy.

At JSW, we recognize that product design, manufacturing processes, and customer usage patterns significantly influence the overall environmental footprint of a product. To evaluate these impacts comprehensively, we adopt the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, a globally recognized approach that assesses environmental impacts across every stage of a product's life cycle, from raw material extraction and manufacturing to use, recycling, and end-of-life management.
LCA enables us to identify environmental hotspots, improve resource efficiency, reduce emissions, and support informed decision-making for sustainable product development. By taking a holistic view of environmental performance, LCA helps us enhance product sustainability while creating long-term value for customers and stakeholders.
As part of our commitment to responsible manufacturing, JSW has completed LCA studies for key products using internationally accepted life-cycle engineering methodologies. These assessments provide valuable insights that support sustainable innovation, transparent reporting, and the development of lower-impact products.
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an independently verified and registered document that transparently communicates the environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle. Based on a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), an EPD provides standardized, credible, and comparable information on a product's environmental performance, enabling customers and stakeholders to make informed purchasing decisions.
EPDs are developed in accordance with internationally recognized Product Category Rules (PCRs) and provide verified data on environmental indicators, ensuring consistency and comparability across similar products.
As a leading manufacturer in the steel and cement sectors, JSW is committed to enhancing product transparency and supporting sustainable construction practices. We are progressively implementing a group-wide EPD programme aligned with ISO 14025 and EN 15804 standards to disclose the environmental performance of our products.
JSW obtains product-specific EPDs through independent third-party verification, ensuring accuracy, credibility, and compliance with international standards. These declarations provide customers with reliable environmental information while helping us identify opportunities for resource optimization, emissions reduction, and continuous improvement across the product life cycle.
For customers in the construction sector, the use of EPD-certified JSW products can contribute toward green building certification programs such as LEED and BREEAM. By providing transparent environmental data, EPDs reinforce our commitment to sustainability and support the transition toward more sustainable infrastructure and construction practices.
This approach enables JSW to deliver products that not only meet quality and performance expectations but also support our customers' sustainability goals.

EU CBAM is reshaping global trade. JSW Steel is here to help.
As carbon regulations evolve worldwide, emissions data is becoming an important part of doing business with European customers. Whether you export steel directly to the European Union or manufacture products that ultimately reach Europe, understanding the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is increasingly important.
JSW Steel is committed to supporting our customers, distributors, fabricators, processors, traders and exporters by providing verified emissions information and guidance to help address emerging CBAM-related requirements.
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) was established by the European Union under Regulation (EU) 2023/956. It applies to imports of selected carbon-intensive products into the EU, including:
CBAM aims to create a level playing field between products manufactured in the European Union and those produced in other countries, while reducing the risk of “carbon leakage” whereby production shifts to regions with less stringent climate regulations.
Under CBAM, EU importers must report greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) embedded in imported goods and, over time, surrender CBAM certificates linked to those emissions. The compliance obligation rests with the authorised EU importer; however, accurate emissions data from producers and suppliers is essential for fulfilling these requirements.
CBAM is changing the way carbon emissions influence global trade.
For businesses supplying products to European markets, emissions information is no longer only a sustainability metric. It is becoming a business, customer and market-access requirement.
Organisations that can demonstrate verified emissions data may benefit from:
As a result, emissions performance and data transparency are becoming important commercial differentiators.
Steel is among the sectors most significantly impacted by CBAM.
Most iron and steel products covered under relevant CN Codes are within scope, including:
For these products, CBAM considers emissions generated during production as well as emissions embedded in key input materials.
EU importers are required to account for the embedded emissions associated with imported products. Where verified supplier-specific emissions data is unavailable, importers may need to rely on default values prescribed under CBAM requirements, which is significantly higher for Indian Iron and Steel Sector.
As customer expectations evolve, companies across the value chain are increasingly seeking reliable emissions information from steel producers to support their reporting requirements.
JSW Steel supports customers whose products are sold in or exported to European markets, either directly or through downstream value chains.
Our support includes:
We calculate installation-specific and product-specific embedded emissions in accordance with applicable CBAM methodologies.
Relevant emissions data is independently verified by accredited third-party verification bodies.
We support customers seeking emissions information for steel supplied by JSW Steel that may be required for CBAM-related reporting and disclosures.
