First World Steel Industry Sustainability Report Published by IISI

摘要

The International iron and Steel Institute (IISI) has published the first sustainability report of the world steel industry. Forty-two steel companies worldwide, including the world's top five steel producers in 2003, have reported voluntarily on 11 sustainability indicators. Together these companies represent over 33 percent of world crude steel production and created 191 billion US dollars in revenues in 2003. This landmark report is among the first to be published by an industry. IISI finalised the set of 11 indicators in October 2003. The indicators enable the world steel industry to measure its economic, environmental, and social performance. The indicators can also be used to track the industry's progress toward sustainable development. The selected indicators address the goals outlined in IISI's Policy Statement on Sustainable Development, they use existing data, and they are applicable in every region of the world for all steel companies.
