People
We want our people to feel confident to speak up, be proud of the work they do, and feel supported in their personal wellbeing.
We strive for a workplace where perspectives from across our global operations are valued, where merit guides opportunities, and where everyone has the conditions they need to succeed. Safety is the foundation of this ambition—it shapes our behaviours and underpins the way we work together.
This mindset informs every aspect of how we look after our people, forming the basis for the People Strategy that guides our long-term development as a responsible global steel and mining company.
People Strategy
Our People Strategy sets the direction for how we attract, develop and support the talented individuals who drive our business forward. It focuses on building a workforce equipped for the future, with the right capabilities, leadership and environment to achieve sustainable success.
The strategy is built on three core pillars:
Developing leadership that inspires excellence
We invest in strengthening leadership that motivates teams, improves collaboration and supports high performance. Effective leadership is essential to shaping the behaviours and decision making that keep our business safe and resilient. We focus on building interpersonal leadership skills, developing future leaders, and equipping them with the capabilities needed to navigate an increasingly complex and technologically advanced industry—including growing readiness in AI and digital technologies.
Attracting and developing talent to thrive for the future
We want to attract people who are motivated by meaningful work and the opportunity to grow. We support ongoing development through structured learning, growth opportunities and broadening experiences across roles, functions and countries.
ArcelorMittal University (AMU) provides our main internal learning and development platform with a broad and comprehensive online offering of courses and subjects. Whether employees are looking to hone an existing skill, develop their leadership abilities or tackle an entirely new topic, there are hundreds of learning opportunities available to them. There are required online-based learnings to meet corporate requirements for business and ethical standards, skills training to ensure employees have the skills and knowledge to perform their duties and development training which focuses on growth and enhancing skills.
Engaging everyone through equal opportunity, safety and fairness
We are committed to ensuring that every person at ArcelorMittal is treated fairly and has access to opportunities based on capability. We work to remove barriers that may limit an individual’s ability to contribute, while fostering a working environment shaped by respect, accountability and constructive collaboration. Fair treatment, open communication and strong safety values are essential to this pillar.
Embedding safety throughout the employee journey
Safety sits at the heart of how we manage, support and develop our people. It is integral to the employee experience—from recruitment and performance management to leadership expectations and everyday decision making. Safety is not a standalone activity, but a defining feature of our culture—reinforced at every stage of employment and essential to long term operational performance.
Ensuring the safety of our employees is fundamental. But we also want our people to thrive and achieve their potential. Having a healthy, engaged and supported workforce, who feel valued, respected, welcomed and heard, and who have an opportunity to continue to develop their skills for tomorrow as creating a high-performing organization, it is vital.
Governance
Strong governance underpins our approach to people. We regularly review and strengthen our policies, standards and processes to ensure they remain effective, relevant and aligned with our responsibilities as a global business.
Key elements of our governance framework include:
Ensuring our people related policies remain compliant across all regions
Maintaining clear, consistent expectations for behaviour, fairness and safety
Supporting transparent decision making and reducing risk
Reinforcing trust by setting high standards for how we treat our employees
Building a future-ready workforce for long-term success
Our governance is supported by structured oversight and guidance on key people topics, helping to support consistent approaches across the ArcelorMittal group. A Just and Fair Culture framework reinforces this by setting clear expectations, recognizing positive behaviours and applying consequences in a fair and structured way when needed.
Together, these governance mechanisms help protect our people, strengthen performance, and sustain a working environment built on clarity, responsibility and respect.
