We are seeking ResponsibleSteel™ Certification!

Driving the responsible production and sourcing of steel, ResponsibleSteel™ is the steel industry’s first global multi-stakeholder standard and certification initiative.

ArcelorMittal has played a pivotal role in establishing this standard since 2015 and was the first steel company to have a site certified. 

ResponsibleSteel™ is a not-for-profit organization developing sustainability performance standards and an independent third-party certification program for the steel value chain. At its heart, it is a multi-stakeholder collaboration between business and civil society. This ground-breaking initiative now involves over 40 members and associates, made up of companies and civil society organizations from around the world. 

ArcelorMittal Dofasco is the latest ArcelorMittal site to seek ResponsibleSteel™ certification and will undergo a Stage Two audit in Hamilton, ON beginning on February 27, 2023. The ResponsibleSteel™ certification is a standard that formalizes our commitment to a sustainable future through goals and measures, and transparency and accountability around environment, social and governance (ESG) principles. The standard has 12 principles with 400 requirements across environmental impact (climate change, biodiversity and emissions), social impact (supporting employees’ safety, health and wellness and our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and our community), as well as governance (processes and systems that ensure our compliance and performance). It’s about running our business with all stakeholders in mind.
