Quality

Environmental standards and certifications

Eramet Norway adheres to rigorous environmental protocols, working closely with Norwegian authorities to maintain compliance and set continuous improvement goals. All three of our processing plants—Kvinesdal, Sauda, and Porsgrunn—are certified under:

• ISO 14001: The international standard for environmental management systems, ensuring responsible resource use and minimal environmental impact.
• ISO 50001: The global standard for energy management, reflecting our commitment to energy efficiency and sustainable practice.
• ISO 9001: The international standard for creating Quality Management Systems to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory expectations.

Operational excellence

We implement the Eramet Production System which is based on the best practices of metallurgy, with the newest technologies and control systems, to ensure:

• High product reliability: Advanced process controls ensure consistent quality across our product range, meeting the demanding requirements of the global steel industry.
• Resource optimization: Innovative energy recovery and by-product utilization enhance efficiency while reducing waste.
• Low-carbon footprint: Our “eraLow” manganese alloys emissions are lower than the industry’s average by 40% and we strive to significantly reduce this footprint further through the use of biocarbon and carbon capture and storage (CCS).

Continuous improvement

Through collaboration with research institutions and adoption of best practices, Eramet Norway fosters a culture of innovation and responsibility. These efforts ensure that our products not only meet technical specifications but also align with our sustainability goals. This dual focus on quality and environmental stewardship makes us a trusted partner for steel producers worldwide.
