Harsco Environmental Joins ResponsibleSteel™

Harsco Corporation announced that its Environmental division has joined ArcelorMittal, Daimler, BMW, and others in the world’s first sustainability standard for the steel industry.

ResponsibleSteel™ is the industry’s first global multi-stakeholder standard and certification initiative, dedicated to defining and promoting responsible practice, aimed at improving:

  • Climate change and greenhouse gas emissions
  • Water stewardship and biodiversity
  • Human rights & labour rights
  • Community relations and business integrity

Steel is the world’s most widely-used material, and those who utilize it in the transport, automotive, infrastructure, packaging, construction, energy and white goods sectors are under increasing pressure to ensure that materials are responsibly sourced. As the world’s first responsible sourcing certification scheme, ResponsibleSteel aims to help the steel industry meet these expectations.

Harsco Sustainability and Environmental Solutions Vice President Cope Willis, said:

“We are pleased to join ResponsibleSteel and to have the opportunity to partner with our global steel customers and other key stakeholders to support the implementation of sustainability standards for steel production.

“This collaboration is another step in Harsco’s continuing efforts to lead the steel industry into a more sustainable future.”
