On September 15th a bid to construct a world class steelmaker and inject new green power into secondary pioneering, Baosteel puts forward the strategy of environmental management to realize the geological and low carbon development of a steelmaker by means of developing environmental friendly products through green purchase and clean production, expanding new applications and new markets for the products, invigorating green industry and strengthening international cooperation.

Along with the changes in the external environment such as overcapacity of steel, intensifying homogenized competition, tight resources and environmental restrictions, Baosteel's developing approach of pursuing high output and product differentiation under the original conditions of products undersupply can no longer fit in with the sharp changes in the external environment.

Baosteel seeks new space for differentiation in the new round development, fosters the competitive edges in future through environmental management and creates new systems of environmental management to minimize the harm of steel production process to the environment, minimize the energy consumption and optimize the cost to pioneer new fields of Baosteel technological leadership in terms of developing energy saving and environmental protection products in series, expand the surviving space of the enterprise, establish the competitiveness in new era of steel, preserve the leading advantages among domestic peers, and continue to be the leader in Chinese steel industry through this kind of differentiation strategy. To this end, Baosteel will change the operating concept and operating system.

Environmental management is the corporate operating activities that incorporate environmental protection into the total process of corporate operation and management, and integrate environmental protection with corporate development. Environmental management penetrates each aspect of corporate operations, covers the total process from purchase of raw material to product design, production, marketing, consumption and recycling of wastes.
