Cleveland-Cliffs has launched a new environmental section on its corporate website. The environmental section provides a comprehensive look at Cliffs’ progress and outcomes in key areas of its environmental performance and its contribution to clean steelmaking.
“Cleveland-Cliffs’ iron ore pellets enable the production of environmentally friendly steel. We need to educate people that not all steel is produced in an environmentally responsible manner globally, and the information that is provided on our website highlights this clear distinction. The world needs more steel, but the world also needs less pollution,” said Lourenco Goncalves, Cleveland-Cliffs’ chairman, president, and CEO.
“As the importance of greenhouse gas emissions heightens and misinformation about steelmaking’s role spreads, we think it is necessary to emphasize the nature of Cliffs’ operations, and our positive impact on the steel supply chain in the United States,” added Goncalves.
The company stated that it employs sustainable mining practices through its rigorous environmental systems integrated within its operations. Through this website disclosure, Cliffs intends to be more transparent as an environmental, social and governance (ESG) compliant company in its reporting of key environmental performance indicators. The website provides environmental metrics related to the production of its iron ore pellets and how the use of pellets enable clean steelmaking. It also provides a comparative view of steelmaking in China and the United States and their differentiated impact to the environment of the two countries.
