U.S. Steel Reaffirms Dedication to Sustainability

U.S. Steel published its 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report in which the Pittsburgh-based steel maker said it has dedicated itself to creating sustainable steel and contributing to a greener economy. The report, titled “Essential for Our Future,” reaffirms how essential steel is to creating green technology such as wind turbines solar fields, and electric vehicles. It highlights steel’s ability to be infinitely recycled without loss of quality, providing a significant contribution to lowering greenhouse gas emissions. “Every single employee is playing a role in creating a more sustainable future,” commented David B. Burritt, U.S. Steel’s president and CEO. “Steel’s importance to our society is undeniable, both in the past and into the future as we collectively tackle climate change. It’s of particular significance that we were the first American steel company to set a goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.” USS said in a press release that it has surpassed its $300 million spending goal on supply chain sustainability programs by nearly 130%. The company is investing in a non-grain oriented (NGO) electrical steel line to meet the increasing demand for EVs and continues to diversify its supplier base. You can find the full report here.
