It promotes safety, health, and environment best practices, as well as maintains a strong commitment to industrial responsibility and ethics.
The Group is focused on producing sustainably and in a environmentally responsible way. In line with this commitment, its production facilities are certified with various environmental management standards. This includes the ISO 14001 certification, which specifies the requirements for an environmental management system. ArcelorMittal is also a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, and it is committed to respect and observe the eight principles of social and environmental responsibility.
ArcelorMittal is also committed to the economic development of its communities. The company understands that its activities can create both social and economic opportunities for its local communities. Consequently, ArcelorMittal provides education, training, and employment opportunities to these communities. In addition, businesses and households in local communities often benefit from the lower electricity and water bills, as a result of the company’s efficient use of these resources.
These commitments stem from the company’s vision of “building a better world together”. The company believes in the shared objective of working together to develop innovative solutions that will benefit the people, planet, and business. The aim is to achieve long-term gains for the economies, communities, and the environment. The company’s commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices will help to create a stronger and healthier future for all.
