This report maps the global steel industry’s required progress to align with a 1.5°C pathway, drawing on scenarios from the International Energy Agency and the Mission Possible Partnership. It outlines how ResponsibleSteel certification provides a practical mechanism to track real-world progress toward these climate benchmarks.
The publication highlights the need for rapid decarbonisation across primary and scrap-based routes and explains how the ResponsibleSteel Decarbonisation Progress Levels can support transparent, comparable assessment of site-level emissions performance. It also emphasises the importance of certification in driving investment, supporting policy alignment and accelerating industry transition toward near-zero steel.

Driving just transitions in the mining and steel sectors
This report presents the outcome of a joint initiative between ResponsibleSteel and the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance (IRMA) exploring how voluntary sustainability systems (VSSs) can support a just transition in the mining and steel sectors. It aims to capture emerging expectations, highlight areas of alignment and disagreements, and provide a practical foundation for integrating just transition considerations into standards and assurance systems.
