Tata Steel Netherlands modernizes its e-commerce platform
Tata Steel Group is one of the largest steel producers in the world.
It is also one of the top global steel companies and one of the world’s most geographically diversified steel producers. It has an annual crude steel capacity of 34 million tonnes and operates in 26 countries, with commercial offices in more than 35 countries.
As one of the largest steel producers in Europe, Tata Steel Netherlands (TSN) supplies high-quality steel products to many markets worldwide, with the understanding that customer needs differ across markets.
TSN’s production processes are becoming increasingly sustainable. This is important because sustainable steel is needed, now and in the future. For instance, steel is indispensable for the energy transition; it is used for solar parks, batteries for electric cars, and the production of lighter, sustainable products.
TSN aims to go for clean, green, and circular steel production, also called green steel.
Green steel refers to:
- Steel that is carbon neutral. By 2030, TSN aims to make steel with 40% less CO2 emissions. And by 2045, the company envisions to be a carbon-neutral steel producer.
- Steel production with a focus on the immediate living environment; various measures reduce the impact on the environment.
- TSN will increase circularity and reuse more steel, allowing the company to produce more sustainably. From 2030, it will increase the use of scrap from 17% to 30%.
TSN sells the material on its e-commerce platform on a first-come-first-served basis at the best possible price. TSN connects with its diverse clientele through the TCS-developed platform, which has improved the accuracy of dynamic pricing.
