Whether in lighter, more efficient vehicles or renewable
energy generation, steel is essential to the modern
world, and its use is critical in enabling man to
move towards a sustainable future. Steel is alsonecessary for new, highly efficient power stations and
the construction of smart electrical grids, transport
infrastructure development, energy-efficient residential
housing and commercial buildings.
More than 1.6 billion tonnes of steel are produced
every year. Currently, 47% of steel is produced and
used in mainland China. There will be continuing
growth in the volume of steel produced, particularly in
developing areas such as Latin America, Asia, Africa
and the Indian sub-continent, where steel will bevital in raising the welfare of developing societies. In
these regions, worldsteel estimates that 60% of steel
consumption will be used to create new infrastructure.
Industry commitment - a decade
of sustainability reporting
Sustainability reporting at a global level is one of the
major efforts that the steel industry undertakes to
manage its performance, demonstrate its commitment
to sustainability and to enhance transparency. We
are one of the few industries that report at the global
level and have done so since 2004 when the first
sustainability report was published.
This annual brochure is dedicated to our stakeholders.
It is the result of a joint effort between our members
as well as non-member steel companies and
associations. Our aim is to inform the public about the
environmental, social and economic performance of
the steel industry measured by a set of 8 sustainability
indicators.1This issue compiles data from 2003 to
2013 to demonstrate trends over the past decade.
1 The selected indicators were developed by worldsteel members i n
consultation with external organisations in 2003. They are applicable to
steel companies worldwide. The methodology for some indicators has
been further developed since then. Current calculation methodology for
all indicators is available at worldsteel.org.
Verification and coverage
Every year our aim is to increase global tonnage
coverage and the number of companies reporting toimprove representativeness. The reported data are
reviewed and verified by worldsteel staff to ensure the
accuracy and consistency of figures. The scope of the
sustainability report is steel plant sites, including R&D
facilities, for the environmental and social indicators and
consolidated financial data for the economic indicators.
The coverage over the years reflects the steel industry s
commitment and dedication to sustainability reporting.
Reporting is voluntary. In 2004, 42 steel companies
participated with a rise to 149 companies (96 directlyand an additional 53 via 6 associations) in 2014. Crude
steel produced by companies who reported on one
or more indicators for fiscal year 2013 was 640 Mt,
representing 40% of global crude steel production.
The increase in par ticipation is not equal across all
indicators but companies are nevertheless encouraged
to continue their participation, or to start contributing
even with fewer than 8 indicators, as it allows them to
monitor and improve their performance for those that
they are able to report. We continue to encouragefull reporting.
We recognise that continued engagement and
collaboration with our stakeholders are essential as
we str ive to become a fully sustainable industry in a
sustainable world. We welcome your feedback
and ideas.

POLICY AND COMMITMENTS
The steel industry believes that sustainable
development must meet the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future generations
to meet their own needs. Members of worldsteel arecommitted to a vision in which steel is recognised as
a key element of a sustainable world. This is achieved
by a financially sound industry that takes leadership
in environmental, social and economic sustainability.
Figure 1 below shows the steel industry sustainable
development policy, which was adopted in 2002
and built on a set of principles established in 1972,
and a statement of principles issued in 1992. The
policy encompasses seven commitments which havebeen translated into an industry-wide Sustainable
Development Charter. In 2012, 66 members of
worldsteel signed the Charter which commits them
to improving the social, economic and environmental
performance of their companies.

Once steel is produced, its life cycle is potentiallyendless because it is easy to recover with magnets
and 100% recyclable without loss of quality. This
makes it a permanent resource for society as long as
it is recovered at the end of each product life cycle.
Durable and reusable
Steels durability is one of the key properties that
make steel a sustainable material, allowing for the
reuse of countless products - from paper clips to
automotive components and rail tracks. A wide rangeof steel products, like automotive engines and wind
turbines, can be remanufactured for reuse, taking
advantage of the durability of the steel components.
Remanufacturing restores durable used products to
like-new condition. Both reuse and remanufacturing
extend the overall product life and thereby save
valuable resources.2

100% Recyclable
Its recyclability is another key factor contributing to
steel being a sustainable material. 100% of scrap
from steel production and downstream processing is
collected and recycled directly into steel production.
Post-consumer scrap has to be collected and
prepared (for example by shredding and baling).
Because of the high value of steel scrap, there
are economic incentives that help to maintain high
recycling levels, in addition to environmental benefits.
Steel is the most recycled material in the world, with
over 650 Mt recycled annually, including pre- and
post-consumer scrap.3
Recycling accounts for significant energy and raw
material savings: over 1,400 kg of iron ore, 740 kg
of coal, and 120 kg of limestone are saved for every
tonne of steel scrap made into new steel.

ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
Environmental protection
Steel manufacturing has a variety of impacts on
the environment. The main impacts come from theuse of energy and raw materials, which result in the
emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur oxides (SOx),
nitrogen oxides (NOx) and dust to air, as well as water
consumption and associated emissions.
The steel industry is committed to act responsibly to
minimise or prevent negative environmental impacts.
Based on this commitment, our environmental
indicators track our performance in greenhouse-gas
emissions, energy intensity, implementing environmental
management systems and using resources efficiently.
worldsteel has developed a global and regional li fe
cycle inventory database including cradle-to-gate
environmental inputs and outputs tracking resource use
(raw materials, energy and water) and emissions to land,
air and water for 15 steel products.
worldsteel alsoproduces technical reports to help
improve the environmental performance of steel plants
around the globe. Most of these reports are kept up-to-
date through internal online sharing and benchmarking
systems. Examples of topics covered are:
air quality
by-products
energy use
maintenance and reliability
raw materials
water management.
Indicators 1 and 2: Greenhouse-gas
emissions and Energy intensity
The greenhouse gas of most relevance to the world
steel industry is carbon dioxide (CO2), as it makes up
approximately 93% of all steel industry greenhouse gas
emissions.4On average, 1.8 tonnes of carbon dioxide
are emitted for every tonne of steel produced (see p.
14, Indicator 1).
Technological advancements over the past 25 years
have enabled substantial reductions in CO2emissions
from steel production. These advancements include:
energy efficiency in the steelmaking process
improved steel recycling rates
increased recycling and utilisation of by-products
from steelmaking
extensive process automation for precise control
of steelmaking processes.
The efficient use of energy has always been one of the
steel industrys key priorities. Cost is a key incentive
for this, considering that energy purchases account
for 20-40% in basic steel production.5, 6Over the last
50 years, the steel industry has reduced its energy
consumption per tonne of steel produced by 60% (see
Figure 3). On average, energy intensity is currently
at 20 GJ per tonne of crude steel cast (see p. 14,
Indicator 2).
Modern steel production processes are now very
close to their theoretical minimum energy and CO2
intensity per tonne of steel output. While further
medium-term improvements will be made through
technology transfer and spread of best practice,
to make a significant difference in energy andCO
2intensity in the long term, new low-carbon
breakthrough steelmaking technology is required
(see worldsteel position paper: Steels contribution
to a low carbon future, 2014).

Indicator 3: Material efficiency
worldsteel members repor t that 96% of the raw
materials used on-site to make crude steel areconverted to products and by-products, meaning that
very lit tle waste goes to landfill (see p. 14, Indicator 3).
The industrys goal is zero waste. Mater ial ef ficiency is
also promoted through innovative design for reuse and
the development of high-strength steels that allow for
dematerialisation (see case study p. 11).
Recovered by-products can be recycled during
the steelmaking process or sold for use by other
industries. Use of by-products supports the
sustainability of the steel industry. It prevents landfillwaste, reduces CO
2emissions and helps preserve
natural resources. The sale of by-products is also
economically sustainable. It generates revenues for
steel producers and forms the base of a lucrative
worldwide industry.3
Some companies report a by-products utilisation and
recycling rate as high as 99%.7
Indicator 4: Environmental management
system (EMS)
An EMS helps an organisation to monitor and
improve its environmental performance and to
increase its operating efficiency. Water management
and air quality control are key aspects of an effective
EMS.
According to worldsteels sustainability statistics,
in 2013 approximately 90% of steel industry
employees and contractors worked in EMS
registered production facilities (EMAS or ISO 14001
certification), up from 86% in 2003 (see p. 14,
Indicator 4). A number of steel member companiesachieved 100%. This increasing trend is expected
to continue as new and stricter regulations are
enforced in countries globally.

Employee safety and health
Safety and health is the number one priority for the
steel industry. worldsteels policy is to help all ourmembers achieve an accident-free workplace as there
is no area, process or type of work that cannot be
accident-free.
This is supported through:
use of industry safety and health principles
sharing experience and good practice through
seminars, workshops and development of an alert
network to share serious incidents
annual reporting on safety performance includingLTIFR (Indicator 5)
safety and health excellence recognition programme
showcasing member initiatives and projects
an annual global Steel Safety Day.
Indicator 5: Lost time injury frequency rate
(LTIFR)
One of the most common indicators of safety is lost
time injury frequency rate. A lost time injury is an
incident that causes an injury that prevents the personfrom returning to his next scheduled shift or work
period. Figure 5 shows a steady and notable decline
in the number of lost time injuries, demonstrating the
industrys commitment to eliminating accidents and
injuries. Reporting by member companies on this
indicator has more than doubled since 2004.
In 2014, worldsteel and its members launched
an annual global Steel Safety Day to continue
working together with all involved in the industr y
to create a safer work environment in the steel
industry.
Participating companies carried out a safety
audit across the entire employee group from
CEOs to engineers to managers, operators
and service providers. The audit focused onidentifying the hazards for the main causes of
safety incidents within the steel industry and
setting up action plans to manage the hazards
and risks for each site.
More than 480,000 people from 373 sites
participated in the first industry-wide safety
audit on 28 April this year including 39
member companies, representing 53% of
worldsteel members production.

Employee development and training
The steel industry is committed to offer employees
the opportunity to further their education and develop
their skills. Not only is this a way of enhancing quality
of work and productivity but it also boosts employee
satisfaction. worldsteel measures performance in this
area with the employee training indicator. Training and
knowledge management are also enhanced through
the worldsteel steeluniversity initiative.

steeluniversity and 8thsteelChallenge
steeluniversity, a worldsteel initiative, is a web-based industry university delivering education and training to
current and future employees of steel companies and related businesses. steeluniversity includes courseson steel manufacturing, steel applications, ferrous metallurgy, steel business, environment and safety.
steeluniversity offers more than 30 training modules via its online learning system steelLearning+ accessible
from the website steeluniversity.org. Students from over 400 universities and employees from more than
100 companies have used steeluniversity to supplement their education.
steeluniversity sponsors an annual steelChallenge to test students and young industry professionals on their
knowledge of steel manufacturing and use of one of the advanced simulations offered in steelLearning+.
Participants compete against other teams in a two-round competition, with regional champions going on to
compete in the world championship round held in Brussels, Belgium each February.
The winners in the industry category for the 8 th
steelChallenge 2013/4 were Kausik Tamuli andAnimesh Kumar Singh of Tata Steel Ltd. in India. The
winners of the student category were Ezio Agustin
Casalini and Francisco Braas of Universidad
Nacional del Sur in Argentina.
The 9thsteelChallenge is scheduled for
November 2014 when the regional champions
will be identified. The winning entrants will be
invited to take part in the world championships
in February 2015.
Indicator 6: Employee training
Employee training refers to instruction provided to
enhance the skills, capabilities and knowledge ofemployees. Training may involve various types of
programmes such as classroom instruction, computer-
based training, or on-the-job instruction. Employee
training measures the total days of training per
employee. This indicator does not focus on safety and
health training, but may include it. For 2013, members
of the steel industry reported 7.8 days of training per
employee (see p. 14, Indicator 6).

Table 3: Number of repor ting companies for Indicators 7 and 8 *Investment in new processes and products
Investing in innovation
Innovation is at the heart of the steel industry. Over
75% of the steels in use today did not exist 20 yearsago. Approximately 60% of the steel grades used
to manufacture automobiles today were introduced
in the last 10 years. Investing in the development
of high-strength steels also allows for reuse and
dematerialisation of steel products which saves
resources (see case study p.11).
The steel industry must ensure the continued
investment in the development of new steel products
and production technologies. One of the indicators
used to track this is Investement in new processes andproducts, Indicator 7.
Indicator 7: Investment in new processes
and products
Investment in new processes and products is the sum
of capital expenditure and research and development
expenditure expressed as a percentage of revenue,
where:
Capital expenditure refers to money used to acquireor improve long-term assets such as property,
plants, and new equipment
Research and development expenditure refers to
money used to develop new scientific or technical
knowledge to develop new products, processes,
and services.
Figure 6 shows a steady increase in investment in new
processes and products between 2003 and 2013.
Member companies reported an average value of
8.6% of revenue for investments in new processes andproducts for 2013 compared with 6.0% of revenue in
2003.
Contributing to society
The steel industrys greatest value contribution
is providing society with steel products that are
indispensable in sustaining and improving our modern
world and standard of liv ing. There is hardly any object
that we use that does not contain steel or that was not
created with equipment made of steel. From common
kitchen utensils to automobiles and wind turbines,
steels durability and strength add value to society.
While it is dif ficult to quantify this added value, one
indicator used by worldsteel aims to quantify the value
distributed to society by the steel industry: Economic
value distributed, Indicator 8.

Indicator 8: Economic value distributed
(EVD)
EVD includes direct and indirect contributions,
regardless of the countrys financial structure e.g. all
contributions are captured - whether made directly
from the company to the community or indirectly from
the company through government taxes, shareholder
dividends or employee salaries, etc.
For 2013, steel companies reported distributing
582.7 billion US$ to society or 97.3% revenue (see
p. 14, Indicator 8), directly and indirectly. This figure
includes:
Operating costs (payments to suppliers, contractors,
etc.)
Employee salaries and benefits
Dividends paid to all shareholders
Interest payments made to providers of loans
Payments to government (gross taxes and royalties)
Community investments (voluntary contributions
and investments of funds in the broader community,
including donations and scholarships, etc.).
Innovative designs for reuse and
recycling
BlueScope Steel makes products that can be
used in designs for disassembly and reuse.
These are components of a building, or ent ire
buildings that are designed with the intention
of reuse rather than demolition. For example,
the MacArthur Centre for Sustainable Living in
Australia was designed for disassembly using
reusable and renewable materials.
The design incorporates whole sheets of steel for
the roofing and much of the walling to maximiseopportunities for those sheets to be used again
in the future. When the steel is no longer needed,
it can be recycled back into new steel.
Investing in development of high-
strength steels
BlueScope Steel has successfully developed
high-strength steel products, so that the same
function is achieved using fewer raw materials.
This is known as dematerialisation. For example,
roofing that was once manufactured at 0.55mm thick, is today made from high-strength
Colorbond steel 0.42 mm think a reduction of
24%.
Steel framing is another example of design
innovation that maintains functionality with less
material use. Some house framing that used to
be 1.20 mm thick is only 0.6 mm thick today
a saving of 50%.

Steelie Award: Excellence in Sustainability
Every year, worldsteel hosts an awards ceremony at
its annual conference in October to recognise thecontributions and achievements of companies and
individuals in various categories including best website,
communications, life cycle assessment, sustainability
etc.
The Excellence in Sustainabilit y award seeks
to recognize a specific sustainability initiative or
programme that has made a positive impact, or
provided benefits in all three areas of sustainability
including economic, environmental and social
performance.
A judging panel consisting of internal and external
judges selects the winner based on:
the level of the ini tiatives impact or benefits (for the
company and society) in each of the three areas of
sustainability economic, environmental and social
the extent of communication and outreach how
widely the ini tiative is communicated to stakeholders
and/or the level of community/stakeholder outreach
related to the initiative.
The 2014 final ists for this award are presented here.
The Excellence in Sustainabilit y award winner will be
announced at worldsteels 48thannual conference in
Moscow on 6 October 2014.
INDUSTRY SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES
ArcelorMittal Sonasid: Responsible
ship dismantling in Morocco for steel
recycling
Recycling is at the hear t of the steel industry, as
scrap steel is a key raw material for steelmaking.
With some 70 disused ships temporarily moored
at Moroccan ports - hampering trade and posing
an environmental hazard ArcelorMittals Sonasid
site began exploring the potential benefits that a
local shipbreaking industry could offer to the local
economy and environment as well as for its site by
ensuring the availability of scrap and simultaneously
reducing the carbon intensity of its steelmaking
operations.Beginning with a pilot project in 2012 to dismantle a
vessel, Sonasid was able to ensure that internat ional
social and environmental standards for the
recycling of ships (the Hong Kong Convention) were
embedded in the development of this new local
industry from the start.
The preparatory work to develop the shipbreaking
industry in Morocco began in 2013 with plans to
commence shipbreaking activity there by 2015 with
the construction of a shipbreaking unit.
Sonasids use of scrap steel instead of DRI as a raw
material is expected to deliver carbon savings of 0.8 t
CO2for every tonne of steel produced and will entail
further emission reduction of 3000t CO2/year through
limiting transportation of scrap from Europe. Existing
end-of-life ships in Morocco provide the potential
for the local scrap industr y to increase by 20%. The
disappearance of disused ships from Moroccos
ports is leading to an improvement in the countrys
coastline, a vital asset for the countrys economy.

Gerdau: Improving the sustainability of their scrap supply chainGerdau has been conducting the Base of the Pyramid (BOP) project in partnership with the public sector and
non-profit organisations since 2007. The project aims to formalise the scrap recycling activities in Brazil, Chile,
Peru and Uruguay, countries where scrap collectors have traditionally worked independently without any protective
equipment or social security and usually under poor working conditions.
The main phases of the project were:
to ensure training in management and technical skills of the recyclers
to strengthen cooperation and communication between the different stakeholders
to monitor progress and contribute to public policies at local and national level.
Many environmental, social and economic benefits have been observed.
For example, in the cities where the project was implemented,approximately 1,630 tons/year of waste generated are now correctly
disposed of; 1,200 waste collectors received 34,424 hours of training
during the 27 months of the main project s duration; suppliers
average income registered an increase of 155% from 2011 to 2013.
Supplier relations with the company have also improved.
The use of scrap as a raw material reduces the volume of waste
disposed of by society in inappropriate places and reduces the
consumption of energy and other natural resources during steel
production, while minimising CO2emissions.
JSW Steel: Promoting vocational education through local training centres
India has a goal of transforming around 500 million Indian youths into skilled technicians through vocationaleducation by the year 2022. In order to help achieve this target, the OP Jindal Centre at Vasind is running a
vocational programme for the youth. The Vasind site is a 100% subsidiary of JSW Steel. Most of the youth trained
at the Centre are from economically marginalised families.
So far, 1,674 students have undergone vocational training in different trades, including technical studies
(electronics, welding, IT etc.), but also tailoring, fashion design and machine embroidery to name just a few.
The JSW Foundation init iated the vocat ional project back in 2003 by conducting an extensive study covering 30
nearby villages to assess the need for technical education and other trades.
In 2013, the JSW Foundation conducted a survey to assess the impact of these courses in the lives of students.
So far, 81% of the students covered by the survey are
employed and 67% are using skill sets learnt to earn their
livelihood. Some 24% of the respondents are self-employed
using the skill set and 9% of them are pursuing further
studies through apprenticeships.
The response and success spawned similar efforts at other
sites including JSW Steel Vijayanagar, which set up its
vocational technical centre in 2008.
Through this initiative, JSW is strengthening their community
engagement efforts and empowering the local youth.

Table 4: Summary of indicator results
Notes:
(p)= preliminary; data collection in progress
Indicators 1 and 2:*Prior to 2005, energy and CO2associated with intermediate product p roduction (e.g. conversion of coal to coke) was not included.
Indicators 1 and 2 are calculated using route-specific energy and CO2intensities for three steel production routes: basic oxygen furnace, electric arc
furnace and open hear th furnace. The indicators are also weighted based on the production share of each route. Indicator 1 includes CO2emissions
only as these make up approximately 93% of all steel industry greenhouse gas emissions.
Indicator 5:Lost time injury frequency rate includes fatalities and is calculated based on figures including contractors and employees. Data prior to
2004 is not available.
Indicator 6:Employee training includes production and non-production facilities.
Indicator 8:Data collection for Economic Value Distr ibuted (EVD) star ted in 2007.
In 2004 (when we first reported 2003 data), 42 steel companies participated with a rise to 149 companies (96
directly and an additional 53 via 6 associations) in 2014 (for fiscal year 2013). Crude steel produced by companies
who repor ted on one or more indicators for fiscal year 2013 was 640 Mt, representing 40% of global crude steel
production. Values in Table 4 may vary slightly from previous editions of this sustainability report due to updatesreceived from individual companies.
