InfraBuild Reinforcing has recertified its Carole Park (Qld) and Noble Park (Vic) sites to Level 2B under the Steel Sustainability Australia (SSA) scheme. They join the six other sites – Eagle Farm, St Marys, Sunshine, Canberra, Cavan and Forrestfield – which achieved certification earlier this year.

SSA Level 2B is a comprehensive sustainability certification that assesses environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance across the steel supply chain. Certification gives assurance to customers that the steel they’re using meets industry-recognised sustainability standards.

Combined with InfraBuild’s Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), these eight SSA-certified sites now offer the highest possible contribution, with a Responsible Products Value (RPV) of 15 points, under the Green Building Council of Australia´s Green Star Buildings Responsible Products Value framework.

SSA is also recognised under ISv2.1, the Infrastructure Sustainability Council’s leading ratings tool, with the highest possible Sustainability Factor value of 1.0. This means InfraBuild Reinforcing products from these certified sites are well positioned to support projects working towards either of Australia’s two key sustainability ratings systems for the built environment.

“These certifications give our customers confidence that the steel reinforcing they’re using from these InfraBuild Reinforcing sites meets robust environmental and social benchmarks,” said David Bell, Manager, Sustainability & Insight at InfraBuild. “As more projects seek to meet the requirements of the Green Star and ISv2.1 ratings tools, we’re proud to help them get there,” he added.
