Defining responsibly-produced steel
The ResponsibleSteel International Standard has been developed over the course of seven years to recognise, encourage and reward steel sites operating in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. The Standard’s 13 Principles cover a full range of ESG issues, identified and agreed upon with our members.
We are currently working with our members and stakeholders on developing a Downstream Chain of Custody Standard to be published later this year.
The ResponsibleSteel International Standard V2.0
Launched in 2022, Version 2.0 incorporates rigorous requirements for GHG emissions and sourcing input materials. These requirements are designed to drive down emissions and drive up standards in the supply chain, helping steelmakers transition to a responsible, decarbonised future.
