About
What started as a local mining operation has transformed into a global leader in sustainable iron ore production. LKAB, with over 5,000 dedicated employees worldwide, operates primarily in the magnetic iron ore industry and is paving the way towards carbon-neutral steelmaking. Our commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship is central to our operations. As we navigate challenges in a dynamic market, we are simultaneously seizing immense opportunities, particularly in the production of fossil-free iron sponge and critical minerals necessary for the green transition. With our headquarters in Luleå, Sweden, we are not just a mining company; we are at the forefront of a transformative journey that involves transitioning to renewable energy and minimizing our carbon footprint while ensuring that we meet the demands of our clients and communities responsibly. Our focus areas include developing sustainable processes, harvesting critical minerals, and engaging closely with local communities to foster a better tomorrow. By 2030, we aim to produce the world’s first carbon-neutral iron ore, setting a standard for the entire global steel industry.
