World crude steel production, 1950-2011

Steel a key driver of the world’s economy

World crude steel production: From 28.3 Mt in 1900 to 851

megatonnes (Mt) in 2001 to 1,527 Mt in 2011.

Directly employs 2 million people worldwide, with a further 2

million contractors and 4 million in supporting industries.

As key product supplier to industries such as automotive,

construction, transport, power and machine goods, steel industry

has employment multiplier of 25:1. Steel industry is at the source

of employment for more than 50 million people.

World average steel use per capita has steadily increased from

150kg in 2001 to 220kg in 2010.

Steel is an innovative

and progressive

industry committed to

the safety and health

of its people.

Safe, innovative and progressive steel

The industry is committed to the goal of an injury-free workplace.

The steel industry globally spends more than €12 billion annually on

improving the manufacturing process, new product development and

future breakthrough technology.

New lightweight steel is dramatically changing the market. In 1937,

83,000 tonnes of steel was needed to build the Golden Gate Bridge in

San Francisco. Today only half of that would be needed.

Vehicles using advanced high strength steel (AHSS) weigh up to 35%

less than those made with conventional steel substantially reducing

greenhouse gas emissions.

aspect of our lives.

Steel is everywhere in your life

Almost 200 billion cans of food are produced each year. Steel cans

mean energy saving as refrigeration is not needed, tamper free and safe

food, nutritional value and beneficial environmental impact from

recycling,

Steel used for double-hulled cape-size vessels delivering raw materials,

finished goods and energy must have the highest impact toughness,

corrosion resistance and weld-ability

Skyscrapers are made possible by steel. The housing and construction

sector is the largest consumer of steel today, using around 50% of world

steel production.

Approx. 25% of an average computer is made of steel. Over 320 million

pc’s were sold in 2010.

Our health is looked after by steel. Steel surfaces are hygienic and easy

to clean. Surgical and safety equipment and commercial kitchens are all

made with steel.

Steel is at the core

of the green

economy, in which

economic growth

and environmental

responsibility work

hand in hand.

14

Under green economy steel industry has to be

sustainable on three levels:

Financially sustainable: Profitable throughout the cycle

Innovative with strong R&D activity: steel industry is active in development of new products, new production and environmental protection technologies

Environmentally sustainable Environmentally responsible: respects the environment and operates

within its boundaries

Resource efficient: uses natural resources and energy in an efficient and sustainable manner

Socially sustainable Safe: provides safe and healthy workplaces

Socially responsible: provides special social security, care about the health and well-being of workers and the communities in which we operate

Sustainable steel

The amount of energy required to produce a tonne of steel has

been reduced by 50% in the last 30 years.

All steel created as long as150 years ago can be recycled today

and used in new products and applications.

By sector, global steel recovery rates for recycling are

estimated at 85% for construction, 85% for automotive, 90% for

machinery and 50% for electrical and domestic appliances.

Leading to a global weighted average of over 70%.

Steel is the main material used in delivering renewable energy –

solar, tidal and wind.

Nowadays, 97% of steel by-products can be re-used.

Water uptake and discharge are close to each other, with any

small loss due to evaporation. Water recycled back into rivers

and other sources is often cleaner than when extracted.
