Worldsteel Sustainable Steel Indicators 2017
Written by Sandy Williams
The global steel industry continues to improve its sustainability record in environmental, social and economic performance, according to the World Steel Association 2017 sustainability report.
Worldsteel surveyed 126 steel companies and six associations regarding eight sustainability indicators. The group represents 54 percent of global crude steel production for 2016 or 875 million tons of steel. Although Worldsteel does not provide a country-by-country breakdown, survey participants are widely spread across the globe, including Asia, CIS, the EU, the Middle East, Africa, and South and North America.
