Put workers, communities, and our environment first
ArcelorMittal’s steel plants pollute the air, water, soil, and environment; they damage people’s health, and the company has a long history of avoidable workplace accidents.
ArcelorMittal: We’re calling on you to:
Actively seek and obtain the timely and informed views of all stakeholders on all matters related to your operations' impacts on people, their livelihoods and the environment and show how you have taken them into account;
Assess and document how your operations impact people’s rights to clean air, water and healthy environment, and their access to land and livelihoods. In practice, not just in theory;
Provide an immediate, adequate and effective remedy when negative impacts related to your operations on the environment and human rights occur. Publish your timelines and progress;
Develop decarbonisation and just transition plans in consultation with social partners, democratic representatives and rights holders;
Commit to your duty of care towards workers and communities in all transition plans, with automatic inclusion of retraining, commitment to good jobs and co-benefits.
