Detail of score

The data are calculated with improvements, evidence and connections currently published in EkoPulse.

Model used for this calculation: Impact 2.0 · Reliability 1.3.

Impact: 29 points

Cumulative score

Provisional model: each improvement is assessed by its reach for this profile type, from symbolic to transformative. The same work counts once. Contributions are combined with diminishing returns, and relevant relationships are added. Evidence adds 0 direct Impact points. This does not measure tonnes or net impact.

The highest reach levels require human confirmation; until then they receive a conservative rating. New or edited improvements use a provisional level until their current text is reviewed.

Profile’s own base29

Total impact29

The own base combines practices and direct relationships. Direct relationships and ecosystem influence together add at most 4 points. Ecosystem influence can extend up to 3 steps away and depends on relationship trust and nearby profiles’ data. A disputed relationship transmits no influence through the graph, although it can retain direct credit if its category is eligible. Relationships do not generate negative points.

The advisory thresholds are 25 profiles with improvements, 5 with at least 25 points and at least one reaching 95 points. The current figures are 112, 34 and 72, respectively. Reaching these thresholds does not activate comparison: it requires a model decision.

Reliability: D

4 / 100

The model first places the information in a band according to its supporting evidence. It then calculates the score within that band.

Contributions are shown rounded; the total uses the original calculation before final rounding. Ecosystem support is already included and is not added again. Under the current model, the maximum attainable is B+ (84/100).

Evolution of the score

The public record has just begun: for now there is only a catch to show an evolution. The next captures will be drawing how this score changes over time.

EkoPulse scores are recalculated as the available information changes and the evaluation model evolves. Methodological improvements may result in changes in the score that do not necessarily reflect an equivalent change in profile performance.

Targets for reduction of GEI validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (adopted on 15/01/2024): −61,5 % scope 2 and −32,5 % scope 3 Added by EkoPulseSidenor published its emission reduction targets in 2021, revised them in 2023 according to SBTi and obtained their approval on 15 January 2024, aligned with 1.5 °C: 61.5% reduction in range 2 and 32.5% reduction in scope 3, plus reach 1 objectives. Since 2021 he calculates and certifies his organizational footprint (GHG Protocol) and reports to CDP (qualification B in 2024).

Waste

Waste
Steel manufactured 100% in electric arc furnace from scrap: about 900,000 t/year of recycled waste Added by EkoPulseAll Sidenor steel is produced by electric arc furnace route (EAF) from recycled scrap (97% of recycled material), managing annually about nine hundred thousand tons of industrial waste and obsolete materials; in front of the blast furnace, the EAF route substantially reduces water, energy and CO2 emissions (more than 70% according to the company; each tonne of scrap avoids 1.4 t of ore and 1.5 t of CO2).

Calculation of the environmental footprint of more than 20,000 steel (ACV) and sustainable/carbon-neutral EPD certified steels Added by EkoPulseSidenor has developed a life cycle analysis software that calculates the environmental footprint of more than 20,000 steel references (composition, finishing, treatments, profile), based on its ecodesign and offer of Sustainable Steels and Carbon Neutral Steels with detailed product footprint, certified according to the international EPD Process system.
