Helping shape a more responsible steel industry
ResponsibleSteel® is an independent certification and standard-setting organisation specifically focused on driving sustainability and the path to net zero within the steel industry. It brings together steelmakers, mining companies, customers, NGOs, and civil society groups to define a common framework for the responsible and sustainable production and use of steel.
A robust assurance programme
ResponsibleSteel® provides a comprehensive standard based on more than 400 requirements across 13 principles that evaluate environmental, social, safety and governance (ESG) criteria across the entire steel value chain from raw material sourcing to steel production and corporate governance practices.
