Today, PT Gunung Raja Paksi Tbk shared our plans for fulfilling our Net Zero roadmap to become Asia's leading low-carbon steel manufacturer that includes: ✅ Integrating cutting-edge AI systems to allow end-to-end traceability and carbon footprint tracking for each of our products  ✅Procuring high-quality recycled scrap materials  ✅ Integrating energy-efficient charging systems into EAFs to reduce energy consumption    Through these strategic initiatives, GRP will not only solidify our leadership in the global steel industry and create enduring value for stakeholders, but drive the long-term changes needed to keep Indonesia and the region’s economic and sustainability ambitions on track.    First-mover steelmakers, like ourselves, are moving ahead in the knowledge that:    ✨ Regulatory pressure and consumer demand is mounting  ✨New carbon boarder adjustment mechanisms and carbon trading schemes are coming into effect starting next year  ✨Southeast Asia is set to see a decline in low carbon Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) as a proportion of their production fleet by 2050, unlike other major players in the global steel industry    Countries in Southeast Asia are making significant progress on driving sustainable development but slow progress on addressing emissions in the #steel industry in the region is holding back our sustainable transition, threatening the competitiveness of a sector at the heart of #renewableenergy and #greengrowth.    Further delay puts our countries’ and our region’s accelerated progress on the economy and environment at risk. Today, GRP is showing pioneering innovation in a sector that must adapt, and we look forward to working with our partners to lead the new steel economy.    #GreenSteel | #Innovation | #NetZero
