“U. S. Steel is now capable of producing some of the most advanced high-strength steels with only a quarter of the carbon dioxide emissions previously required. The company is now partnering with customers to introduce U. S. Steel's verdeX line of sustainable steel, so they can offer even more sustainable products to consumers,” the company said. 

U. S. Steel announced the creation of the verdeX brand during a sustainability conference. 

“We know that the urgency of the climate crisis requires more from all of us,” U. S. Steel president and chief executive David B. Burritt told attendees in a recorded message. 

“So, we’re changing our portfolio of steelmaking technologies. Creating something new, steels that are best for our customers and best for our planet. Together we can build a sustainable future,” he said.
