Having a clear corporate responsibility strategy is fundamental in an industry that can potentially have an adverse effect on the environment and in local communities.
Corporate responsibility is central to our business strategy. Our reputation for responsible and ethical business practice is vital to our ability to operate successfully in the different countries and cultures in which we work, in developing countries, and the established markets of Europe and North America.
Everything we do has to reflect and respect those local circumstances. That said, it is important that we have a strong global framework, so that what we do is consistent and builds our overall reputation. Our corporate responsibility strategy focuses on four areas: investing in our people; making steel more sustainable; enriching our communities and, a value that underpins the first three areas, transparent governance.
As part of our social responsibility, we are committed to be the business leader in “In-Kingdom Total Value Addition” (IKTVA).
