| Steelmaking and the Environment
|
| The making and processing of steel
involves the mining and handling of vast amounts
of raw materials primarily coal, iron ore, limestone
and steel scrap as well as the use of large amounts
of air, water and energy. High temperature chemical
reactions and physical changes occur during smelting,
refining and other processing steps which generate
solid and gaseous emissions, contaminate process
water and produce waste materials. The challenge
faced by today's steel industry is to make and process
steel without adversely impacting the environment. |
 |
| Our corporate environmental policy
is straightforward: we will comply with all environmental
laws and regulations applicable to the conduct of
our business. As a good corporate citizen, we are
dedicated to the continuous improvement of the environment
in which we all live. Making Our Environmental Policy
Work in maintaining and improving our environmental
policies, we will: |
| • |
maintain effective air and water
pollution control plans and procedures; |
| • |
implement opportunities for prevention
of pollution, minimize the generation of wastes,
recycle in- plant wastes and products made from
steel, and disposeof any remaining wastes in an
environmentally responsible
manner; |
| • |
develop and implement effective
environmental management systems at all operations; |
| • |
manufacture products that have
minimum environmental impacts, that are safe in
their intended use, and that can be recycled, reused
or disposed of safely. |
