About Joseph Maiale

As a Sustainability Engineer at Nucor, I bridge the gap between technical rigor and commercial strategy to lead decarbonization efforts in the steel industry. My work focuses on transforming sustainability from a compliance requirement into a value proposition by leveraging Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventories, Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) to provide industry-leading carbon transparency. I serve as a technical lead across Nucor’s divisions, evaluating GHG-reduction projects, managing strategic sustainability partnerships, and engaging customers and investors on Nucor’s ESG trajectory. Furthermore, I oversee the development of all publicly facing sustainability reports to ensure our data is as compelling as it is accurate.My foundation is built on a background in chemical engineering and years of environmental consulting at Trinity Consultants. During that time, I managed diverse project portfolios and led complex GHG inventory calculations for the petroleum, natural gas, and metals sectors. My experience also includes extensive air quality consulting to ensure federal and state-level compliance under the Clean Air Act. I am dedicated to maintaining Nucor’s leadership position by ensuring our environmental attributes are scientifically rigorous, regulatory compliant, and commercially impactful.
