ResponsibleSteel is fast becoming the reference tool to drive the demand, policy, and finance levers necessary for transition.

ResponsibleSteel's standards, certification, and assurance programmes provide the steel industry with a sustainability roadmap to measure and reward progress that customers, communities, investors, and workers can all get behind.

We are committed to measuring and reporting on the progress of ResponsibleSteel’s programmes - on the achievements of steelmakers demonstrating leadership through ResponsibleSteel certification and on the expansion of our membership working to amplify and accelerate our mission.

ResponsibleSteel’s annual Progress Report provides an opportunity not only to celebrate these developments but also to identify areas for learning and improvement.

In this second ResponsibleSteel Progress Report, we mark the milestones achieved and new work undertaken in 2024, track the growth of ResponsibleSteel's membership, and evaluate the progress of our certification programme as we look toward 2030 and beyond.

From Data to Decisions: Comparable GHG Emissions Data for Steel Procurement
This report examines how effectively Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) reflect genuine differences in steelmaking emissions and support credible low-emissions steel procurement. Drawing on real, independently verified site-level data from steelmakers, the analysis highlights how methodological differences can significantly affect reported product-level GHG values and identifies three foundations for more credible and comparable emissions data: transparency, comparability and consistency.

Global Steel Decarbonisation: From complexity to coherence
This paper offers a global review of steel decarbonisation and related policies, focused on an analysis of policies in two of the world’s three largest steelmaking regions and consumer markets: India and the European Union (EU). The paper highlights missed opportunities for synergies between policies and outlines the necessary steps towards increased policy coherence.
