FOREWORD

Sustainability indicators, 2006 to 20086

Welcome to the 2010 edition of World Steel in Figures. As predicted,

2009 proved to be an extremely difficult year and this is reflected
in the figures that you see here. The short range outlook issued in
April 2010 provided more positive reading. The general picture is an
improvement, with the world steel industry firmly set on a path to recovery.

The emerging economies, who in total maintained growth through the

crisis, are expected to continue to grow, driving world steel demand in
the future. Recovery in the major developed economies is slower and
the projected steel demand for them in 2011 is well below the 2007 level.
Although the market has been somewhat turbulent over the last three
decades, the industry today is more efficient and better prepared
thanks to global restructuring and consolidation. The long-term
prospect for the global steel market is strong. Steel is fundamental
to our lives and to economic growth. It is essential for infrastructure,
transport, energy delivery, housing and construction, and key
consumer goods.
worldsteel recently completed its second round of CO2 data
collection. Each year the number of companies taking part increases,
demonstrating the commitment of the steel industry to this important
programme.
Sustainable development is a key commitment for the industry.
For worldsteel member companies, this means valuing the
interdependence of environmental, social and economic aspects in all
decision-making. This year we will issue an update of our sustainability
reporting. For the first time, the table of sustainability indictors is
included in World Steel in Figures. You will find it on page 6.
worldsteel has published a report on the management of steel
industry by-products. The report is the result of a survey of member
companies. It looks at by-products generation rates, recycling and
reuse rates and management techniques. The publication is available
in the bookshop of worldsteel.org.
I hope you find this booklet useful. If you have any questions or
comments please do not hesitate to contact me.

SAFETY AND HEALTH

CLIMATE CHANGE

Nothing is more important than the safety and health

of the people who work in the steel industry.

In 2009, the world steel industry produced

1.2 billion tonnes of crude steel.

The safety and health commitment, made by the worldsteel Board

in 2006, is accompanied by a set of six principles:
All injuries and work-related illnesses can and must be prevented.
Management is responsible and accountable for safety
and health performance.
Employee engagement and training is essential.
Working safely is a condition of employment.
Excellence in safety and health supports excellent business results.
Safety and health must be integrated into all business management
processes.
In 2008, worldsteel published the Safety and Health Principles Guidance
Book, now available in 10 languages, and a safety poster to help its
members to adopt and apply these principles.
Perhaps the most important work in safety and health is the collaborative
effort of worldsteel member companies to identify best practices in key risk
areas. Enabling serious incident investigations and associated key learnings
to be shared avoids repeat events. Using annual metrics submitted by
members, worldsteel reports on safety and health trends. This information
helps companies to prioritise implementation of best practices. The aim is
to prevent all injuries and illnesses.
Safety metrics is only one aspect of achieving good safety and health
standards. worldsteel encourages all member companies to participate
in the safety and health taskforces to create guidelines for safe work
performance.
To encourage greater participation worldsteel has introduced a Safety and
Health Excellence Recognition Programme. This showcases improvements
in safety and health initiatives by our member companies and shares the
information across the worldsteel membership. In 2009, three member
companies received recognition for their programmes at the annual
conference in Beijing, China.

Steel is essential for a low-carbon world in transport, construction,

housing and power generation. Demand for steel will significantly
increase in the period up to 2050, to ensure the sustainable
development of growing populations in the developing world.
The steel industry is committed to contribute positively to the issue
of climate change. We are committed to provide intelligent steel
products to help build a low-carbon world and minimise steels
greenhouse gas emissions.
worldsteel has established four building blocks for its climate
change policy. Each involves actions by the world steel industry
and also has policy implications for governments:
actions to reduce CO2/tonne of steel produced
the spread of best practice
research and development on breakthrough technology
use of steel and new steels to save energy in transport,
power generation, buildings, machinery and appliances.

The Climate Action programme

worldsteel has completed the second year of its ambitious
programme for every steel company in the world to measure its CO2
emissions/tonne of steel produced on a common basis. Every steel
company needs to know its carbon footprint to identify the potential
for improvements. We have put in place a common methodology,
definitions and agreed boundaries.

Life cycle assessment (LCA)

worldsteel collects life cycle inventory data from steel plants all
around the world. In 2010 the new datasets were made available to
our members, customers and researchers to encourage a life cycle
approach for product design and material selection.

Notes:
Indicator 1: Average for EAF and BF/BOF. Includes CO2 emissions only as these
make up 99% of all steel industry greenhouse gas emissions. In 2006 the unit
of measurement for this indicator was tonnes CO2/tonne crude steel produced.
From 2007 this has become tonnes CO2/tonne steel cast. The list of reporting
companies differs from the list of participating companies.
Indicator 2: In 2006 the unit of measurement for this indicator was GJ/tonne
crude steel produced. From 2007 this has become GJ/tonne steel cast.
The list of reporting companies differs from the list of participating companies.
Indicator 5: From 2007 this includes contractors and the list of reporting
companies differs from the list of participating companies.
Indicator 8: In 2006 this indicator was called Value added (unit: % of revenue).
In 2007 it became Economic value distributed, showing the sum of economic
value distributed for all companies reporting. It covers 24 companies in 2007 and
25 companies in 2008.

Exports in World Steel in Figures include intra-EU trade, trade between countries
of the CIS, and trade between NAFTA countries. The figures are based on a broad
definition of the steel industry and its products, including ingots, semi-finished
products, hot-rolled and cold-finished products, tubes, wire, and unworked
castings and forgings. The above table comprises the exports of 37 countries,
which represents aproximately 90% of total world trade in 2008.
