Thermo-Calc Software and Sustainability

Thermo-Calc Software values sustainability as a core principle and supports companies in their efforts to reduce their climate footprint and achieve their sustainability targets. Sustainability in the context of the materials industry is a broad topic that encompasses the development, production, use, and end-of-life management of materials in ways that minimize environmental impact and conserve resources over the long term.

Our products contribute to sustainability across multiple stages of the materials lifecycle, including sustainable alloy design, sustainable processing such as heat treatment and refining, aluminum recycling, steel decarbonization, reducing dependence on critical materials, and advancing green energy solutions such as electrification of energy use, energy storage technologies, and nuclear energy.
