Partnerships
Global Mining and Raw Material Suppliers
Posco holds multi-year supply deals with Rio Tinto and BHP securing ~25–30 Mt/year of iron ore and ~6–8 Mt/year of coking coal; since 2023 these contracts include clauses for low-carbon pellets and biomass co-feed, targeting a 15–20% low‑carbon material mix by late 2025 to cut Scope 3 emissions and to buffer against a 2024–25 average iron ore price swing of ±18%.
Battery Value Chain Joint Ventures
POSCO partners with OEMs and battery makers such as General Motors and Samsung SDI in joint ventures to make cathode and anode materials, sharing capex for lithium and nickel processing plants in North America and Asia; these deals backstop demand—POSCO reported battery-material sales of KRW 3.2 trillion in 2024—and spread technology and financial risk across partners.
Academic and Research Collaborations
POSCO partners with global universities and metallurgical institutes—including collaborations funding 35+ joint projects since 2020—to develop HyREX hydrogen steelmaking; these ties gave POSCO experimental scale-up data that cut pilot CO2 emissions by ~60% and support a target to reach 1.5 million tonnes/year low-CO2 steel by 2030, keeping its decarbonization IP and talent pipeline competitive.
Logistics and Trading Subsidiaries
Through POSCO International and shipping partners, POSCO runs a global sourcing and distribution network moving >20 million tons of cargo yearly (2024), cutting average lead times to key hubs to under 14 days and reducing logistics cost per ton by ~6% vs 2021.
These partners supply local market intelligence in 30+ emerging markets, ensuring finished steel and chemicals reach industrial centers in Asia, MENA, and Europe with high on-time delivery rates (~95% in 2024).
- 20M+ tons cargo/yr (2024)
- Average lead time <14 days
- Logistics cost/ton down ~6% vs 2021
- 95% on-time delivery (2024)
- Presence in 30+ emerging markets
Government and Public Sector Entities
POSCO partners with the South Korean government and international regulators to advance green infrastructure, joining national hydrogen economy projects and offshore wind initiatives that target a 2030 hydrogen capacity of 1.94 million tonnes nationwide and Korea’s 12 GW offshore wind goal; these ties help POSCO access subsidies—Korea allocated KRW 73.4 trillion (2023–2027) for green transition programs—and influence evolving carbon rules.
Engagement with policymakers lets POSCO align operations to tighter environmental standards, secure funding for projects like HyREX hydrogen and POSCO’s Aim for carbon neutrality by 2050, and reduce regulatory risk while accelerating decarbonization investments.
- Joined national hydrogen and offshore wind projects
- Access to KRW 73.4 trillion green funds (2023–2027)
- Supports Korea’s 1.94 Mt H2 target and 12 GW offshore wind by 2030
- Aims for carbon neutrality by 2050
POSCO locks supply, tech & funding to scale low‑carbon batteries & hydrogen steel
POSCO secures raw materials, tech, logistics, govt funding and OEM/battery JV partners to de-risk supply, cut Scope 3/CO2, and scale battery and hydrogen steelwork—backed by 20M+ t cargo/yr, 25–30 Mt/yr ore, 6–8 Mt/yr coking coal, KRW 3.2T battery sales (2024) and KRW 73.4T green funds (2023–2027).
| Partner Type | Key Metric |
|---|---|
| Suppliers | 25–30 Mt Fe, 6–8 Mt coal/yr |
| Logistics | 20M+ t/yr, <14d lead, 95% OT |
| Battery JVs | KRW 3.2T sales (2024) |
| Govt | KRW 73.4T funds (2023–27) |
What is included in the product
Detailed Word Document
A concise, pre-written Business Model Canvas for POSCO mapping its nine blocks—customer segments, value propositions, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partners, and cost structure—grounded in steelmaking, low-carbon initiatives, and downstream expansion for investor presentations and strategic planning.

Activities
Advanced Steel Production and Smart Manufacturing
POSCO runs highly automated steelworks in Pohang and Gwangyang, producing high‑value grades such as GigaSteel; in 2024 these two complexes accounted for about 60% of POSCO’s 30.6 million tonnes steel output. AI and IoT systems cut energy use and scrap rates—POSCO reported a 7% improvement in energy intensity in 2023–24—and by 2025 a large share of activity targets lowering carbon intensity of blast furnaces via CCUS and hydrogen blending to meet its 2030 emissions roadmap.
Battery Materials Refining and Synthesis
Hydrogen-Based Steelmaking R&D
Global Supply Chain and Commodity Trading
POSCO's trading arm manages end-to-end flow of iron ore, coking coal and finished steel, hedging via futures/options to limit price swings—POSCO reported 2024 trading volume ~29.5 million tonnes and trading revenue KRW 12.3 trillion (2024). Efficient logistics and chartering keep mills running despite Suez/Black Sea risks and geopolitical shifts.
- 29.5 million t traded (2024)

- Leverages steel tech for offshore wind jackets and substations
- Offers end-to-end EPC, lowering lifecycle costs
- Captures value from raw steel to O&M across projects
- Green revenue KRW 3.8T in 2024, +18% YoY
POSCO scales automated steel and HyREX to cut CO2 ~90%, boosts battery materials to KRW1.2T
POSCO runs two automated steel complexes (Pohang, Gwangyang) producing 60% of 30.6 Mt steel (2024), scales HyREX pilots (KRW 300bn 2023–25) to cut CO2 ~90% vs BF, and grew battery-materials revenue to KRW 1.2T (+38% YoY 2024) while trading 29.5 Mt and KRW 12.3T revenue (2024).
