The Australian Steel Institute (ASI) is transitioning its current Environmental Sustainability Charter programme (ESC) to the Steel Sustainability Australia programme (SSA).
The SSA certification programme aims to support participants in meeting construction industry expectations for sustainably-sourced steel. The programme ensures that steel is responsibly sourced, fabricated and processed by best-practice sustainable operators.
The programme was developed to align with the Green Star Buildings rating tool and the Responsible Products Framework developed by the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA). SSA-certified steel products can assist projects seeking Green Star certification.
This webinar explains the new programme, how it was developed, and how it can help the steel industry respond to current and future sustainability challenges in the built environment. The ASI’s Sustainability Manager Jerusha Beresford joins Jorge Chapa, Chief Impact Officer at the GBCA. Our Head of Strategy and Impact Australia Nicole Sullivan hosts the webinar.
