ArcelorMittal – which has several facilities throughout the country, including the steel plate production plant that has shaped Coatesville’s identity for centuries – has published its 2017 United States Integrated Report, Powered by Resilience.

Since 2009, ArcelorMittal has reported on its corporate responsibility and sustainability initiatives in the U.S. This third publication of an integrated report continues the company’s dedication to transparency and links its 10 sustainable development outcomes to its business outcomes and financial drivers.

“I am proud of the work our teams have accomplished to emphasize sustainability in all we do,” said John Brett, CEO of ArcelorMittal. “We have never backed down from our commitment to becoming the most sustainable steel company in the world.

“This document, and the strategy it details, directly connect the work of our 10 sustainable development outcomes with our operations’ goals and business strategy. We know financial sustainability and corporate responsibility go hand in hand. Maintaining our commitments to our stakeholders is not an option; it’s a requirement.”
