Sustainable Steel and CO₂ Performance Ladder

Sustainability

Responsibility for the environment and climate

At KS Profile, sustainability isn't just talk — it's a production principle. Cold-forming is more energy-efficient than hot-rolling, steel is fully recyclable, and our production facilities in Moerdijk operate with a minimal CO₂ footprint. We're gas-free, transport as much as possible electrically, and generate a significant share of our own energy through rooftop solar panels.

But for us, sustainability doesn't stop at the factory wall. As part of KS Industries, we contribute to a broader responsibility: for our employees, for the community, and for the world beyond Moerdijk.

A matter of principle

The importance of sustainability

Circulair materiaal

Steel is one of the most circular materials there is. It's fully recyclable, retains its properties after reuse, and fits into a construction supply chain that's increasingly judged on circularity.

CO2 transparency

KS Profile works with the CO2 Performance Ladder and makes the environmental impact of profile choices transparent. For clients reporting on ESG, that's not a side note but a requirement.

KS Foundation

As a successful company, we're firmly rooted in society. That's why KS Industries sets aside 10% of its profit each year for the KS Foundation, which funds projects for disadvantaged communities in the Netherlands and East Africa. Earlier, KS helped establish an independent roll-forming factory and an international school in Ethiopia. That's no coincidence. It's part of our company culture.

Sustainable production

Cold-forming requires less energy than hot-rolling. Less material waste, a lighter end product, and minimal emissions: every step in the process counts.

Concrete and transparent
