Some 42 steel companies from around the world, including the top five producers in 2003, have reported voluntarily on 11 sustainability indicators. Together, these companies represent over 33% of world crude steel production and turned over US$ 191 billion in 2003.
This landmark report is among the first of its kind to be published by a leading industry sector. The 11 indicators, finalised by IISI in October 2003, enable the world steel industry to measure its economic, environmental and social performance, and can also be used to track the industry’s progress towards sustainable development. The indicators also address the goals outlined in IISI’€™s policy statement on sustainable development.
