Sustainability

Steel is the material with a truly closed recycling loop. Steel is not consumed. It is used again and again without any loss of quality or strength.

Steel products are vital to meet society's needs, and as producers of steel, it is our role to meet the demand for steel in a responsible way.

We are committed to the design of more sustainable products that contribute to solutions, which are lighter, last longer and use fewer resources to produce. Our steel goes into the world’s sustainable buildings and transport infrastructure, and supports the performance of the efficient vehicle on the market.

Above all we operate in a way that is safe for our people and respectful to the environment. We behave responsibly and with care towards the communities surrounding and impacted by our operations.

Steel products are vital to meet society’s needs, and as producers of steel, it is our role to meet the demand for steel in a responsible way.

With companies all across the world, we face a broad range of challenges and we are committed to taking action, individually and together as an industry, to address them.

In a changing society in which the circular economy is crucial for preserving natural resources, steel is fundamental to the circular econompy. Not only can steel products be reused and remanufactured, steel is also a permanent material, which can be recycled over and over again without losing its properties.

By carrying out extensive research and analysis, our goal is to further demonstrate the sustainable benefits of steel both as a material and as an industry.
