Overview

ResponsibleSteel is an international, non-profit multi-stakeholder membership organisation and certification initiative. The ResponsibleSteel Standard contains twelve principles for the responsible sourcing and production of steel, across a broad range of environmental, social and governance topics. The Standard aims to maximise steel’s contribution to a sustainable society. It sets benchmark levels of company performance in the implementation of its principles so as to encourage broad participation by businesses while meeting the expectations of civil society stakeholders.
