Climate

Climate change is reshaping the world’s energy systems, industries and economies. Addressing it requires more than incremental change. It calls for a fundamental shift in how energy is produced, how materials are made, and how infrastructure is designed and built.

Steel plays a central role in modern society. It is essential to buildings, transport, energy networks and industrial activity. For ArcelorMittal, this creates both responsibility and opportunity. Climate action is not separate from our core business. It is directly connected to how we produce steel, how we source energy, and how our materials support the wider transition to a lower-carbon economy.

We approach climate change as a long-term transformation of steelmaking and industrial systems and our ambition is to reach net zero by 2050. This transformation is complex and must reflect technical realities, economic conditions and the pace of change in global energy systems.

Decarbonization, in practical terms, means reducing the emissions associated with steel production while continuing to supply the materials society depends on. It involves changing production routes, improving efficiency, introducing new technologies and rethinking how energy and raw materials are used.

The company reports GHG emissions to the Government of Canada’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP), a mandatory program for those who meet the requirements.

The GHGRP publishes an overview report each year to describe the most recent data collected. The public can also access total emissions of each greenhouse gas by facility. This data is available in various ways:

• An online data search tool

• Data tables in Excel and CSV formats

• An online interactive map
