Sustainability of Fielders® steel building products
All Fielders® building products are manufactured from steel produced by BlueScope in Australia. BlueScope has several sustainability certifications and credentials to support the selection of products manufactured from steel produced by BlueScope in Australia, including Fielders® products.
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)
An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a third party verified and registered document that communicates transparent data and other relevant environmental information about the lifecycle environmental impact of a product.
To provide transparency into the environmental impact of its steel products, BlueScope publishes Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Unlike industry average EPDs, all BlueScope EPDs provide information that is specific to their products.
EPDs for the BlueScope steel products used to manufacture Fielders® steel building products, such as COLORBOND® steel, ZINCALUME® steel, DECKFORM® steel and TRUECORE® steel are available from the BlueScope Australia website.
Global Greentag Greenrate™
GreenRate™ is a robust and comprehensive third-party verified ecolabelling program aligned with the ISO 14024 standard for environmental labels and declarations.
Selected BlueScope steel products have obtained GreenRate™ certification through evaluation against a range of sustainability attributes including in relation to toxicity of materials and availability of environmental footprints (water and greenhouse gas emissions).
Further information on BlueScope’s GreenRate certification is available from the SteelSelect website.
ResponsibleSteel™
The ResponsibleSteel™ certification can give organisations in the steel value chain confidence in the environmental, social and governance performance of our steelmaking facilities, and may help them to meet their climate objectives and manage supply chain risks.
BlueScope’s Port Kembla Steelworks, where the steel for BlueScope’s branded steel products is manufactured, has achieved ResponsibleSteel™ certification.
Further information on ResponsibleSteel™ is available from the BlueScope Corporate website.
