March 18
As part of its group-wide
sustainability focus ArcelorMittal
has adopted 10 sustainability
development outcomes, all
of which contribute to ensuring that the
production of steel, the use of resources,
new product development, and the support
of its people and their communities is
achieved in the most sustainable way.
These outcomes are at the core of its new
sustainable development framework that
motivates action by its people from site to
corporate level.
“Our 10 sustainable development
outcomes were designed to ensure we
manage to stay ahead of expectations,
and also demonstrate our understanding
that long-term success lies not only in
creating shareholder value but also in
actively contributing to society’s needs,”
says ArcelorMittal Chairman and Chief
Executive Lakshmi N Mittal.
The 10 outcomes are seen in the
company as a strategic way to represent
the material, social and environmental
aspects of the business. They form the
basis of an approach designed to also help
avoid damaging disruptions to operations
and create substantial value, both for
stakeholders and shareholders.
The 10 outcomes are:
1. People: The company says that it makes
sure the workforce is safe and healthy,
committed to its success, and operates
with integrity. Diversity is valued and
every individual is respected and their
potential developed.
2. Products: Commercial designers and
manufacturers, as well as end-users
choose steel for products that need
strength and durability. They make
that choice because they understand
steel contributes to more sustainable
lifestyles.
3. Infrastructure: Steel is the first-choice
material for the governments and public
bodies that commission and approve
building and infrastructure projects,
and the firms that design and construct
them. They know steel is part of the
answer, not part of the problem.
4. Resources: ArcelorMittal is a leader
in building a more resource-efficient
economy, and says it understands the
technical, logistical and commercial
challenges this represents.
5. Air, land and water: The company’s
local communities and stakeholders
trust it to share the vital resources of air,
land and water, because ArcelorMittal
operates responsibly and transparently,
and has clearly improved its impacts.
6. Energy and carbon: ArcelorMittal
develops innovative products that
help other industries to reduce carbon
emissions and drive carbon and energy
improvements in steel production.
7. Supply chains: Suppliers are expected to
live up to ArcelorMittal’s high standards
because the company is committed to
managing its supply chain responsibly,
and is trusted to do so by its customers
and stakeholders.
8. Community: ArcelorMittal says it is
welcomed as a good neighbour because
it actively engages at a local level, and
makes a positive contribution to more
resilient and thriving communities
through its day-to-day operations as
well as through thoughtful well-targeted
investments.
9. Scientists and engineers: A healthy
pipeline of well-trained and talented
engineers, scientists and technicians,
both for our own future, and for society
as a whole are available.
10. Impact measurement: Finally,
ArcelorMittal says it can show the
value of its contribution to society,
and its stakeholders understand and
appreciate it.
Sustainability tops the agenda at ArcelorMittal as the company
acts to help create a more sustainable future for the steel
industry and the environment. Achieving zero waste within the
company is a key target.
