The Family Office also contains the GFG Foundation – a registered charity founded by Sanjeev and his wife Nicola that aims to develop industrial skills among young people.

Learn more about GFG AllianceIn Australia, the GFG Alliance owns and operates manufacturing companies InfraBuild; Primary Steel and Mining in South Australia and New South Wales; and SIMEC Energy Australia.
Primary Steel and Mining is an integrated steel manufacturer and mining business. The iconic Whyalla Steelworks is a historic steel manufacturer and provides steel long products for the domestic market.
The mining business operates mines in the Ardrossan, the Middleback Ranges and the NSW Southern Highlands, as well as the Whyalla Port and railway. The mining business is a key component of the Alliance’s integrated supply chain.
GFG Alliance’s SIMEC Energy Australia is a renewable energy business with experience constructing and managing high-value energy generation projects across Australia. SIMEC Energy Australia is currently developing the 280MW Cultana Solar Farm, and 100MW Playford Battery project in South Australia.
Carbon Neutral by 2030 (CN30) is a wide-reaching program by the GFG Alliance that will transform industrial manufacturing for a truly sustainable future.
Manufacturing these steel and aluminium – two key industrial metals – accounts for over 10% of all the world’s direct emissions from use of fossil fuels; as an industry, we need to step up to the challenge and mitigate this impact. At the same time, by 2050 the global demand for these foundation materials – the building blocks of modern life – is expected to be double the level of 2012.
Clearly fundamental change is needed.
With this in mind, we have announced our ambition to become carbon neutral by 2030 – or as we call it, CN30. This does not mean that we will have no emissions, or indeed that we will abandon traditional practices overnight. Experience has taught us that only a mixed model can work – transitioning blast furnaces which we will replace with electric arc furnaces over time, investing in new electric arc furnaces, and piloting new clean technologies.
This will require strategic longterm thinking and it presents an opportunity for a change in mindset.
