    voestalpine cares run: employees raise EUR 700,000 for aid projects for the third time

    The third edition of the voestalpine cares run, the steel and technology group’s global exercise initiative, was once again a great success this year. Under the motto “Running together for a good cause,” employees worldwide were once again able to collect more than 1.1 million kilometers of “cares” in just under three months by running, walking, hiking, wheelchair riding, or hand biking. These “cares” were converted by voestalpine into donations for charitable purposes. Donations totaling EUR 700,000 were handed over to Doctors Without Borders, Hilfswerk International, the Austrian Red Cross, and UNICEF Austria for chosen national and international aid projects. For the first time, the voestalpine cares run was awarded first prize in the “Large Companies” category by “Wirtschaft hilft.”

    voestalpine produces the world's first hydrogen-based rail

    voestalpine has produced the world’s first hydrogen-based rail at its Donawitz site as part of a pilot project. The “green” rail consists of a mix of scrap and hydrogen-reduced pure iron, which was produced in the HYFOR pilot plant in Donawitz. The raw material was melted down in the company’s own TechMet research steelworks in Donawitz and then processed into the finished rail in the neighboring rail rolling mill. Like all rails produced by voestalpine, the hydrogen-based rail is particularly hard and highly wear-resistant. The first rail of this type has now been laid at Linz Central Station.

    voestalpine demands compensation for the price of electricity to secure investments and jobs

    In a letter to the federal government, voestalpine has called for fair play for Austria’s energy-intensive industry and therefore for the continued use of the electricity price compensation. Most EU countries have been using this instrument for more than 10 years and some have already extended it until 2030—but Austria has not. In the Steel and Metals Action Plan, the EU Commission recently expressly pointed out to the member states that they should make use of the effective option of the electricity price brake in order to improve the competitiveness of energy-intensive companies with national measures.
