Strategy
10 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES
1. Safe, healthy, quality working lives for our people
H&S of our employees and respect for human rights are among the main priorities of the company's activities. Diversity is valued and every individual’s potential is used, and their potential developed.
2. Products that accelerate more sustainable lifestyles
Designers and manufacturers in industries that contribute to our everyday lifestyles, such as automotive and packaging, choose steel because they understand that its strength, formability, and recyclability are vital in developing innovative solutions for sustainable development.
3. Products that create sustainable infrastructure
Steel is the first-choice material for construction and infrastructure projects, because the firms that design and build them – and the governments and public bodies that commission and approve them – know and appreciate the true value it can add, now and for the future.
4. Efficient use of resources and high recycling rates
We use both raw materials and recycled inputs in the most efficient way, so that we're creating significant value for our customers and shareholders, as well as contributing to the goals of a circular economy.
5. Trusted user of air, land, and water
We want our stakeholders to know that we use natural resources wisely.
We will do this because we operate responsibly and transparently, demonstrate we want to reduce our negative environmental impacts, and work in collaboration with partners and local communities to enhance the natural resources we all rely on.
6. Responsible energy user that helps create a lower carbon future
We are focused on making our operations as energy efficient as possible, and on significantly cutting the carbon they emit, in order to help create a low-carbon future.
7. Supply chains that our customers trust
Customers trust that we meet or exceed their environmental, social and governance expectations, both in our own steel and mining business, and in our supply chain, in particular the mine sites that we buy from.
8. Active member of the community life
We want our communities to have confidence that we will anticipate and address the impacts we have on the local community and environment, to see us as partners in their socio-economic development, and to trust us to have an open dialogue whenever challenges arise.
9. Pipeline of talented scientists and engineers
We have built a healthy pipeline of well-trained and talented engineers, scientists, and technicians, both for our own future, and for society as a whole.
10. Our contribution to society
The social projects we carry out have a measurable value for stakeholders, which helps to understand our obligations. Our SD outcomes are underpinned by our corporate governance approach. High standards of business ethics have been fundamental to ArcelorMittal since the company was founded.
