Outokumpu

Safety. Evolved. A world-class safety record comes from more than just a good strategy: it’s driven by the proactivity of every single person at Outokumpu. Across our global operations in 2024: 👀 Our colleagues spotted and reported 23,387 hazards 📣 Colleagues communicated about safety in 36,418 safety behaviour observations 🧰 Thanks to this input, we increased the total amount of preventive safety actions by 5% from 2023. A huge thank you to our team for their constant, ongoing support in making Outokumpu a safer place to work.

Well done to those of you who correctly guessed our 2024 Total Recordable Incident Frequency Rate: 1.5. This record result was a direct outcome of our safety strategy, which centers on: 🔁 Continuous strengthening of the safety culture 📖 Developing our safety management 🤖 Using state-of-the-art technology such as AI-driven robots. Despite our world-class safety record, there is no room for complacency. Each incident is one too many.

We’re proud to have a world-class safety record – but what does that look like? Total Recordable Incident Frequency Rate, or TRIFR, is a metric which measures the number of recordable injuries per million work hours. How low do you think our TRIFR was in 2024? 🤔 (Check back tomorrow for the answer!)

In line with the theme of this year’s World Day for Safety and Health at Work, let’s talk about how AI and digitalization are keeping our employees safe. At Outokumpu, we’re leveraging our three ANYbotics robots to reduce employee exposure to hazardous substances and environments. 🤖 Our robots – Jokkeri, Angie and Rosie – check up to 240 inspection points using thermographic cameras, ultrasonic microphones, video footage and acoustic cameras. #SafeDay2025 #Safety

Clean energy. Evolved. Today, we celebrate Earth Day with the theme Our Power, Our Planet. As a Nordic company, clean energy is an important competitive advantage for us, helping us keep our products’ carbon footprint small. And as we operate in an energy-intensive industry, we are committed to using energy in a smart and responsible way. 🟢 90% of our energy use was low-emission in 2024, including renewable and nuclear energy. 🟢 Our energy efficiency improvement in last two years was 387 gigawatt hours. It corresponds the annual energy usage of more than 19,500 families (families of four living in a detached house, with the annual usage of about 20,000 kilowatt hours). 🟢 And the work goes on: we look to further reduce our energy use by 100 gigawatt hours by the end of this year and to keep the share of low-emission energy high. #earthday2025 #ourpowerourplanet

Every time you board an aircraft, there’s stainless steel of various kinds all around you – some hidden, some in plain view. But what makes stainless steel such a great material for building the majestic modern flying machines that criss-cross the skies above the world? ✈️ Austenitic grades like Outokumpu’s Core 321, 304, and 304L – all of which have good corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability – are a common sight in aerospace applications.
