ArcelorMittal commits to ResponsibleSteel™ a new industry standard
11 Decemeber 2018- ArcelorMittal has taken a
leading role in forming and committing to ResponsibleSteel™, the
steel industry's first multi-stakeholder global certification
initiative.
ResponsibleSteel™ was set up in 2015 as a
non-profit organisation to drive a more responsible future for the
steel industry. It will achieve this by building the first global
certification program and standard for the entire steel value chain
from mining, to production processes, to final stage sales and
distribution. Certification standards will include the following
areas:
◦Climate Change & Greenhouse Gas
Emissions ◦ Water Responsibility
& Biodiversity◦ Human Rights & Labour
Law
◦ Local Communities & Business Integrity
Explaining ArcelorMittal’s commitment to
ResponsibleSteel™, Alan Knight, Global Head of Sustainable
Development, said, "responsible production techniques and high
ethical and business standards are becoming increasingly important
to our customers, and ultimately to their customers and consumers.
We want to get to a point where steel users and purchasers have
total confidence in their choices. ResponsibleSteel™ provides us
with a fantastic opportunity to do this and to create the world’s
first certification programme for the industry.”
ResponsibleSteel™ is a membership-based
organisation currently comprising 22 members including steel
producers, car manufacturers (BMW Group and Daimler), finance
providers such as HSBC, industry organisations and NGOs. The scheme
will formally launch its certification standards following a
rigorous accreditation process which is expected to conclude
towards the end of 2019. Once launched, ResponsibleSteel™ expects
to rapidly grow its membership base with the aim of becoming the
industry-recognised standard around the world.
