In 2023, sustainability disclosure standards come into effect around the globe in various sectors, including hospitality.

Sustainability shouldn’t be considered just as a short-term marketing tool, but more like a long-term investment process that will yield enormous environmental benefits for our future. However, building a more sustainable society means choosing the right material to build.

Ultimately, the most environmentally friendly materials are corrosion resistant and durable, have high recycled content and recovery rates, provide long service life and reduce resource use. Steel and stainless steel, in particular, provides all of these benefits.

Steel is indeed the world’s most sustainable construction material: permanent, 100% recyclable, forever reusable with no degradation in performance, steel is the most recycled substance on the planet. More steel is recycled each year than aluminium, paper, glass and plastic combined.

Due to diverse advantages, such as strength and ease to work with, steel has been used in a wide range of applications and deserves recognition as the most outstanding material for the infrastructure of society, a material that supports people’s lives and overall economic development.

Jansen AG and Jansen by M2G, its distributor for sub-Saharan Africa, is taking responsibility and pursuing a company policy that is geared towards sustainability and energy efficiency. Sustainable, energy-efficient products that retain their value and are made from recyclable materials, as well as optimised production processes and procedures that conserve resources and the environment.

As the most sustainable material, steel is making a huge comeback in construction and architectural design.
