Sonasid Group, the leading national steel company, has obtained the International Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certificate for its long steel products (rebar and wire rod), thus becoming the first producer of long steel products in Morocco to obtain this certificate.

“A certificate confirms the group’s position as a leading African company in the production of green steel with high added value,” the company noted in a press release.

EPD is an independent, internationally recognized, third-party verified report that provides a set of comprehensive, transparent and reliable information about the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle, in accordance with the ISO 14025 standard.

The group is thus positioning itself at the forefront of green steel production, with a 100% recycling model supported by 85% renewable energies, the same source emphasizes.

The General Manager of the Sonasid Group, Ismail Aklay, confirmed that the group adheres to the best international standards for producing steel with a low carbon footprint, through its ambitious strategy that combines economic performance and sustainable development.

He added, “Obtaining the EPD certification will now allow Sonasid to reach new international markets, by supplying large-scale projects with products that meet the highest environmental requirements.”
