A happy new year![]() Happy Chinese New Year to you all. We hope you are returning from your holidays refreshed and energized for the challenges that next year will bring. Good intentions are great, but positive action is what really counts. That is why at Linsi we are proud to start the new year with fully carbon-neutral operations. Go Green Goal, as we call this initiative, means that all the remaining emissions in our production are now fully offset by verified contributions in global projects to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. So that all Linsi products now come from fully carbon-neutral production. There is a lot of talk about green steel, hydrogen steel or climate-neutral steel and it is all quite confusing. And when you drill down deeper, the timelines cited for commercial delivery (if they are cited at all) are often far in the future. Or they only account for a small portion of total production. We believe the world needs a more immediate and tangible solution. The good news is that Linsi – together with our customers and partners – is well positioned to lead the change. In fact, a study of global steelmakers by a leading financial institute placed us in the pole position to drive progress towards carbon neutrality. While this is gratifying – the result of years of hard work – we are not resting easy. There is still much to do. We have long been passionate about offering specialty steels that bring tangible benefits to our customers and society in general. That drives our ambition to be a leader in high-performing specialty steel products that enable lighter designs, major energy and CO2 savings, and some truly remarkable engineering. This is based on more than 1000 grades of steel bar, wire, plate and tube for the most demanding manufacturing applications in the automotive, mining, energy and other sectors. Over the years, close collaboration with our customers has allowed us to continuously reinvent and upgrade our offering many times over. While always seeking to improve, our aim remains constant – to boost productivity, ensure safety, and secure sustainable processes that drive growth. Now, driven by our ambition to make an even bigger difference, we have taken this commitment to the next level. This is reflected in our first LNG carrier project that is well underway for implementation, and we are already looking at the next investments. All of this made possible by our customers. We are very grateful for the overwhelmingly positive reactions to our zero-carbon emissions program, and we wish to thank everyone that has stayed with us to support this initiative. Thank you for joining us on this journey. The Linsi Group
