In the context of the current transformation of the global economy, the concept of sustainable supply chains is gaining strategic importance for countries from both the demand and supply sides. The European Union, having announced a course to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and implementing the European Green Deal, has significantly strengthened the requirements for imported products, including requirements for environmental, social and economic sustainability components at all stages of the supply chain. Metallurgical products, in particular steel and semi-finished products, are a basic component of many strategic sectors of the EU economy - construction, mechanical engineering, transport and energy infrastructure. At the same time, steel production is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in industry, which necessitates increased attention to the sources of supply and characteristics of metallurgical products in terms of their carbon footprint and compliance with sustainable development standards. The article is devoted to the development of regulatory requirements and the determination of prospects for the integration of sustainable supply chains of metallurgical products from Ukraine to the EU in the post-war period.
