SunCoke Energy, Inc. Issues 2023 Sustainability Report

SunCoke Energy, Inc. (NYSE: SXC), the largest independent producer of high-quality coke in the Americas, has published its 2023 Sustainability Report. Coke is a key ingredient in the production of blast furnace steel, which will be a critical material in the ongoing energy transition. As such, SunCoke forms an essential part of the supply chains that depend on steel to build sustainable energy infrastructure and solutions.

This year’s Sustainability Report showcases our culture of innovation and continuous improvement across our Sustainability Foundations. We are committed to implementing and advancing initiatives that allow us to maintain our role as a critical part of the steel value chain and a positive contributor to the communities in which we operate.

Occupational health and safety remained our top priority in 2023, and we continue to have a Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) that is lower than the industry average.

“In addition to our diligent attention to our safety performance, our operational and financial performance remained strong in 2023. We invested $94.5 million in maintenance and growth capital to ensure that our facilities are safe, efficient, reliable, and environmentally compliant, and to advance our growth projects. I want to thank the SunCoke team for their effort and dedication throughout the year,” said Katherine Gates, President of SunCoke.

SunCoke’s heat-recovery coke-making process leads the industry with environmentally efficient and advanced technology, setting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards. Our process converts heat generated during the coking process into steam and/or electricity, which is sold to customers or the grid.

Gates continued, “As we look ahead, we continue to think strategically about the long-term energy transition, focusing on further integrating sustainability into our business while assisting our customers in meeting their sustainability goals.”
