Promoting the circular economy
The definition of an ambitious R&D policy and the mobilization of all its stakeholders commit SIFCOR to circularity across its value chain. In 2024, more than half of the steel purchased came from recycling channels. The teams are in the loop too! Promoting innovation among employees supports the Group’s commitment to sharing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling products and materials for as long as possible.
Repairing the present to prepare for the future
In 2024, optimizing machining processes made it possible to save nearly 1,000 tons of steel, including 411 tons thanks to reducing saw blades.
