Nobilis is a pipe mill designed from the ground up to run on 100% renewable and alternative energy sources. The newest technologies implemented in each piece of equipment in the lineup run on the lowest energy requirements and Nobilis will continue to improve on this through ongoing energy efficiency research and development initiatives with a team dedicated to this purpose. Charging stations for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles will be plentiful at both the production facility and the corporate offices, and all employees will have access to programs designed to encourage and incentivize sustainable lifestyles. Plans will be developed to help share Nobilis Pipe’s success and lessons learned in the sustainability and responsible consumption areas with other production mills through presentations at industry trade shows and other such opportunities to interact with peer companies.
Our commitment to value creation goes beyond sustainability, however. Rather than taking a “do no harm” approach, we are dedicated to regenerating the planet by restoring carbon to the ground while operating a state-of-the-art steel mill.
Leveraging the latest technologies in our infrastructure and manufacturing, we are committed to energy efficiency and research & development initiatives with a team dedicated to educating the market through exchanges and other platforms for the common good. We will engage multi-stakeholder platforms as a leading actor on the global stage of our industry to advance sustainable and regenerative business practices in manufacturing, both from what we do and how we do it.
Rather than being committed to being as sustainable as possible, we want to be known for leading the way forward. Doing so, we will focus our development and business practices based on and in support of any of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals applicable to our business with metrics specifically tied to how we contribute to these specific global targets.
