SSA certification provides the construction industry with certainty that certified steel suppliers have the capability to supply responsible, ethical and sustainable steel products to the built environment.
Steel Sustainability Australia (SSA) offers a certification program that provides a clear pathway for steel businesses to be responsible, transparent and sustainable.
Launched in January 2023, SSA was developed closely with the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and key steel industry stakeholders to produce a program specifically tailored for the range of businesses through the steel supply chain.

Certification is open to steel suppliers and manufacturers across the entire steel supply chain including fabricators, roll formers, and reinforcing processors.
To ensure SSA Certified Steel Suppliers source responsible steel feedstock, the program also verifies raw manufacturing mills producing semi-finished products.
SSA Certification is achievable at four levels enabling wide participation and allowing all steel sectors and companies to showcase their commitment to sustainability.
Assessment of compliance is against clearly defined, best practice environmental, social and governance indicators.
As an independent 3rd party certification program, SSA provides certainty to the construction sector that SSA Certified Steel Suppliers have the capability to supply responsible, ethical and sustainable steel products to the built environment.
SSA is also a recognised initiative under the GBCA’s Responsible Products Framework. Certification to each SSA level have corresponding Responsible Product Values (RPVs) that meet the requirements of the 4 Green Star Responsible Products Credits under the ‘Responsible’ category in the Green Star Buildings rating tool.
