October 2025 Newsletter

ResponsibleSteel has had a busy month, with important progress across our standards, policy, and membership activities. Earlier this month, ResponsibleSteel convened steelmakers, customers, NGOs, EU policymakers, standards bodies, and auditors in Brussels to exchange perspectives on how to accelerate low-emission steel production and strengthen responsible practices across the sector. The discussions were highly constructive and will inform our forthcoming policy paper – thank you to all who took part.

A reminder that nominations are still open for a Business Board Director, offering our members the chance to play an active role in shaping ResponsibleSteel’s strategic direction and ensuring diverse perspectives are represented.

In this month’s newsletter, you’ll find:

• Insights from our Brussels policy convening

• Details on the open Business Board Director position and how to nominate

• Updates on the ResponsibleSteel Standard Revision

• A new blog explaining the certification process

• A call for member-authored blogs

• A warm welcome to PDI Tanzania, our newest member

• An opinion piece by Policy Advisor Yana Popkostova on the role of standards in the green transition

…and more.
