JSW Steel has partnered with US-based Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to meet its decarbonization goals. The company has an ambitious target of reducing its carbon emission by 42% by 2029-30 versus base year 2005. This collaboration is focused on applying digital and analytics to track, measure, simulate and enhance the company's environmental performance.

The iron and steel industry globally accounts for around 8% of total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on an annual basis, whereas in India, it contributes 12% to the total CO2 emissions. Thus, the Indian steel industry needs to reduce its emissions substantially in view of the commitments made at the COP26 climate change conference.

JSW Steel is one of the largest steel manufacturing companies in India having units in Karnataka and Maharashtra producing crude steel, long steel and flat steel products.
