Environmental Responsibility & Innovation

Driving Sustainability Through Innovation and Operational Excellence

At Coen Steel, environmental responsibility is firmly fixed in our daily operations and strategic investments. We leverage innovation and resource efficiency to reduce our environmental footprint while delivering exceptional value and innovative solutions to our partners.

Economics and Innovation: Foundations for Progress

Our approach recognises that sustainability and efficient resourcing go hand in hand. By optimising operational efficiency, reducing material waste, and managing energy use carefully, we lower costs and carbon emissions simultaneously.

Key Performance Indicators (KPI)

Material Efficiency

Pursuing Innovation Rate

Current average GWP for steel production

Commitment to Responsible Procurement

State-of-the-Art Facilities and Technology

We have recently completed a significant expansion of our production facilities, which includes the installation of advanced shear lines and a dedicated prefabrication facility in Oranmore. These investments enable us to:

Support modern construction methods, including modular building

Use Building Information Modelling (BIM) for precision detailing and design.

Further leverage lean manufacturing techniques to reduce waste and improve efficiency.

Low-Carbon Steel: Pioneering a Greener Industry

We are proud to be Ireland’s first stockholder of zero-carbon steel, supporting our Engineering partners and positioning us at the forefront of the industry’s transition to a low-carbon future. 

Our commitment extends to our Construction partners, as we are committed to sourcing exclusively from suppliers accredited by the CARES Sustainable Constructional Steel (SCS) Scheme* for our construction steels, ensuring all partners meet stringent environmental criteria.
*or equivalent accreditation.
