Sustainable Development is at the heart of our purpose: Inventing smarter steels for a better world.

Steel is and will continue to be key to the modern world. Steel is strong, durable, flexible and reusable. It is the most recycled material on the planet. Yet, we must ensure that steel does not compromise future generations. Steel must evolve to become smarter and more sustainable.

Guided by our company’s 10 Sustainable Development Outcomes, ArcelorMittal Dofasco is transforming the way we operate and engage to help mitigate long-term environmental and social trends. This means we:

  • Continue to produce innovative products and solutions
  • Explore operational improvements that reduce greenhouse gases and minimize our impact on air, land and water
  • Listen carefully to our stakeholders to ensure their expectations are understood and met
  • Provide financial and volunteer support to community programs and organizations working to create a happy, healthier ecosystem
  • Our responsibility goes beyond producing a product the world depends upon. It’s about finding ways to evolve our operations and actions to protect the world around us and the future generations that will call it home.

 Annual Impact Report 2022

In 2022, ArcelorMittal Dofasco’s journey to be the first integrated steel mill in North America, and among the first in the world, to transition off coal for the ironmaking process.

The nearly $2 billion decarbonization investment was officially launched with a ground-breaking ceremony on October 13, 2022, marking a historic moment for the company. This transformation towards a low-carbon steelmaking future is the most significant construction project ever undertaken at our company.

ArcelorMittal Dofasco will remove coal from the primary steelmaking operations, reducing carbon emissions by 3 million tonnes or about 60 percent by 2028. That is the equivalent of taking 725,000 internal combustion engine cars off the road or planting 138 million trees.

Globally, ArcelorMittal has committed to reduce the carbon intensity of the steel it produces worldwide by 25 percent by 2030 and to be net zero by 2050. While other projects are slated for Europe (Spain, Poland, Germany, Belgium and France), Dofasco is the first ArcelorMittal site to launch its decarbonization construction.

Annual Impact Report 2021

Across the company, we are finding ways to make the steelmaking processes more sustainable, energy efficient and less carbon intensive. Our efforts range from individual actions to be more efficient in our manufacturing processes to large-scale investments in transformative technologies. Complementing the work we’re doing within our operations, the very steel we produce is also being used in sustainable applications: renewable energy systems and fuel-efficient vehicles, for example.

Annual Sustainable Development Reporting is a key part of our commitment to transparency and open dialogue with our stakeholders. Year over year we are creating value as we progress against our 10 Sustainable Development Outcomes.
