Sustainability & Credentials

EPD of multiple products, based on the average results of the product group. In Accordance with ISO 14025:2006 and EN 15804:2012+A2:2019/AC:2021 for:

Reozone’s independently verified EPD reports a cradle-to-gate Global Warming Potential (A1–A3) of 1.11 × 10³ kg CO₂-e per declared unit of reinforcing steel. This figure captures the embodied carbon from raw material extraction, transport, and manufacturing, giving our customers a transparent baseline against which to measure project impacts.

By publishing this data we’re:

• Demonstrating accountability – aligning with Green Star, IS Ratings, and NSW Net Zero frameworks.
• Driving improvement – targeting further reductions through higher recycled steel content, energy-efficient plant upgrades, and smarter logistics.
• Supporting low-carbon construction – enabling designers and builders to make informed material choices that cut whole-of-life emissions.

Reozone’s commitment to disclose, benchmark, and continually lower our GWP keeps us—and the projects we supply—on track for a more sustainable built environment.

The Deformed Reinforcing Bars are used for a variety of projects such as residential and commercial applications, large projects such as multi-story residential complexes, apartment buildings, bridges, DIY projects, and much more.

This quantifies a product’s contribution towards global warming. This is referred to as carbon footprint, global warming potential and upfront embodied carbon.

These are ISO 14021 self-declared results, calculated according to ISO 14040 and ISO 14044 standards. The results follow ISO 21930/EN15804+A2.

Reozone is determined to lead our sector toward a low-carbon future. Guided by Australia’s national ambition to cut greenhouse-gas emissions 43 percent by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050, we have set a firm milestone of sourcing at least 40 percent of all manufacturing energy from renewables by 2030. This strategy dovetails with our broader Climate Change Strategy Action Plan, ensuring every operational decision contributes to a cleaner, more resilient construction industry.

1. Comprehensive Energy Audit (Q1 2025) – mapping every kilowatt of our operations to pinpoint savings and renewable-switch opportunities.
2. Incremental Targets & Transparent Reporting – annual milestones, real-time monitoring and quarterly public updates keep us—and our stakeholders—accountable.
3. On-Site Generation & Green Procurement – phased installation of rooftop solar and battery storage, backed by power-purchase agreements for additional green supply.
4. Relentless Efficiency – upgrading plant, lighting and HVAC, optimising production schedules and insulation, and embedding “energy-smart” practices on the factory floor.
5. People & Partnerships – staff training, supplier collaboration, and participation in industry and government initiatives to accelerate technology uptake and share best practice.

• ≥ 40% renewable energy share in manufacturing by 2030.
• Material reduction in carbon intensity of every tonne of reinforcing bar produced.
• Lower lifecycle energy costs, improving price stability for our customers.
• High employee engagement, with all staff trained in energy-efficient operations by 2026.

Our 40 percent renewable milestone is a springboard, not a finish line. Annual reviews from 2027 onward will recalibrate targets in line with technological advances, cost shifts and evolving regulation, keeping Reozone on a credible pathway to net-zero emissions ahead of 2050.

Reozone builds the steel that underpins Australia’s skylines; we are equally committed to building a climateready future. Guided by the NSW Climate Change (Net Zero Future) Act 2023—50 % lower emissions by 2030, 70 % by 2035 and net-zero by 2050—we have set a clear course to reduce our carbon footprint, hard-wire resilience into our supply chain and protect our people from a changing climate.

1. Low-Carbon Supply Chain – prioritise mills and materials with certified low-emission processes; reach 100 % low-emission sourcing by 2035.
2. Efficient & Renewable Operations – continuous energy audits, HVAC optimisation, on-site solar and long-term green-power PPAs; 100 % renewable electricity by 2035.
3. Safe, Climate-Ready Workplaces – robust heat-action plans, enhanced ventilation and air-quality controls, protecting our workforce as temperatures rise.
4. Transparency & Trust – annual carbon-footprint reporting, pursuit of ACRS, SCS and other recognised sustainability certifications, and open dialogue with customers, regulators and communities.

• ≥ 70% emissions reduction by 2035; net-zero by 2050.
• 20% energy-efficiency improvement by 2032 across all plants.
• Zero serious heat- or air-quality-related incidents by 2032 through proactive controls.
• All major products carrying recognised sustainability certification by 2025.

This strategy is dynamic. Annual reviews will incorporate new technologies, evolving regulations and stakeholder feedback to keep Reozone ahead of the climate curve – delivering reinforcing solutions that are strong for structures and lighter on the planet.

Indigenous Participation Reports (IPR) are used to track an organisation’s progress against its defined Mandatory Minimum Requirement (MMR) targets. Under organisation-based assessment, workforce and supply chain figures for the entire organisation are entered once per reporting period and are used to calculate performance for all applicable MMR contracts for the organisation that have elected to use organisation-based assessment.

Reozone proudly backs the NSW Government’s drive to bring more women into construction and manufacturing:

• Women in Construction Program – built on four pillars (remove barriers, raise awareness, support retention and drive accountability) to lift female participation in both trade and non-traditional roles across the sector.
• Return to Work Pathways Program – funds projects that help women facing barriers re-enter the workforce through wrap-around mentoring, training and job-placement support.
• These initiatives sit under the broader NSW Women’s Strategy 2023-2026, which targets economic opportunity, participation and empowerment for women and girls statewide.

By aligning our recruitment and workplace practices with these programs, Reozone already employs women in production and logistics coordination, quality management and business-support roles. Flexible rosters, transparent career pathways and an inclusive site culture ensure their success. This commitment strengthens the social pillar of our Sustainability Framework and helps build a more diverse, resilient construction-materials industry for everyone.
