Sustainability
___________________________________________________________
Sustainability is an integral part of our strategy, operations and decision-making processes, encompassing economic, environmental, social and governance aspects.
Our goal is to produce high-quality steel while reducing environmental impact. This means transforming our production methods, investing on innovative technologies, and rethinking our use of natural resources. Committing to sustainability also means supporting our customers and partners toward low-carbon solutions.
Together, we are building a more responsible and planet-friendly future.
Steel, a circular material
Steel is the most recycled materials in the world, as it can be transformed into new products without loosing its physical and chemical properties. With this in mind, Industeel's steel recycling philosophy is important, minimising waste and preserving natural resources.
Throughout our production cycles, we aim to recover as much of our waste as possible, wheterit's refractory materials from casting or steel dust. But end-of-life steel is just the starting point for X carb steel is made from high levels of recycled steel using 100% renewable electricity.
XCarb® : towards net zero steel
XCarb® brings together all of ArcelorMittal’s reduced, low, and zero-carbon steelmaking products and activities, along with broader initiatives and innovation projects, in a single effort focused on achieving demonstrable progress toward carbon-neutral steel. XCarb® RRP is our low-carbon steel range with a guaranteed percentage of recycled steel to meet our customers’ emerging requirements.
XCarb® recycled and renewably produced
We produce steel using high levels of recycled steel scrap metal, processed in a electric furnace (EAF), where all the energy used comes from renewable sources (wind and solar).
The production of our low-carbon steel is monitored and certified by independent organizations.
ResponsibleSteel™ certification
Industeel wants to go beyond its obligations and take positive actions for future generation. This is why Industeel has committed to the ResponsibleSteel initiative led by a non-profit organization that brings together steel producers, car manufacturers, mining companies, NGOs, and professional associations. The standard contains 12 principles and some 200 requirements that serves as a benchmark for responsible steel production.
