[{"type":"text","content":"First Software Technology Provider to Join Industry Organization \nWESTMINSTER, Colo., March 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today that it has joined ResponsibleSteel, an independent, non-profit organization that is the steel industry's first global multi-stakeholder standard and certification initiative. The steel industry, as one of the largest industrial emitters of CO2, is taking an industry-wide approach to ensure that steel is responsibly sourced and produced. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nTrimble is also the first Building Information Modeling (BIM) software technology provider to join the ResponsibleSteel initiative. Trimble's Tekla® software is one of the construction industry's most widely used software product suites for the design, engineering, fabrication and detailing of steel structures.\nWith owners and operators of both building and infrastructure assets increasingly expecting their construction partners to choose sustainably sourced materials, there is a growing opportunity and urgency for the steel industry to minimize its environmental impact. With Trimble's Tekla software solutions, engineering, detailing and construction firms and fabrication workshops can more effectively calculate and plan the use of steel in steel structures and in steel reinforcement in concrete structures.\nTekla's Embodied Carbon Calculator enables designers and detailers to assess the potential environmental implications of designs to quickly compare various structural options' carbon impact. Additionally, a plugin to Tekla Structures enables the upload of material quantities in a design to One Click LCA, a lifecycle assessment software that helps users calculate and reduce the environmental impacts of their designs.\n\"Thanks to its industry-wide nature, ResponsibleSteel has the ability to bring about impactful change to the way steel is created, sold, sourced and applied,\" said Päivi Puntila, director, Business Development and Sustainability Lead for the Structures Division at Trimble. \"As one of the key players in design software for steel structures, Trimble solutions have contributed to making construction more sustainable by raising efficiencies, helping avoid waste during construction, and enabling data reporting on the climate impact of projects. Our membership of ResponsibleSteel is further proof of ...
