Australian steel maker BlueScope has successfully passed an independent audit against the ResponsibleSteel Standard - the global sustainability standard for the steel sector. The BlueScope Australian Steel Products Manufacturing site in Port Kembla, Australia manufactures plain carbon steel, low alloy steel and large structural steel products including continuously cast slabs, hot rolled plate, and hot rolled, cold rolled, metal coated and organic coated flat steel strip in coil form.ResponsibleSteel acting CEO Ali Lucas said “The successful assessment of a steel making site against the very exacting criteria within the ResponsibleSteel Standard highlights the importance of a steel sector not only focused on decarbonization but also on ensuring that health and safety remains of paramount importance, respecting human rights, worker rights and local communities, and focused on the whole ESG spectrum. We applaud BlueScope on this momentous achievement and look forward to working with them closely on the next stage of their journey - certified Steel, which will further reassure business and consumers that the steel they use has been not only produced responsibly but also sourced responsibly at every stage of its journey.”A not-for-profit organization, ResponsibleSteel is the steel industry’s first global multi-stakeholder standard and certification initiative with a mission to maximize steel’s contribution to a sustainable society through cooperation and mutual commitment by companies at all levels of the steel supply chain, representatives of civil society and other stakeholders. ResponsibleSteel provides the forum for this multi-stakeholder approach.
