Communities and ArcelorMittal Foundation
ArcelorMittal in the community
For a global company like ours, it is vital that we have clear and defined understanding of the meaning and importance of 'community'.
As the world's largest steel company, we are often looked upon as the top foreign investor in many important overseas markets. That's certainly true in countries such as Senegal, Kazakhstan and Liberia. In some of our locations we may also be the main regional employer. Many communities rely on us not just for jobs, livelihoods and training, but also for basic amenities like roads, power supplies, and healthcare, which our presence in the locality helps to sustain. This also holds true within established, mature markets, where communities have come to rely on us for our support and corporate citizenship.
We know that our status in these markets means that we have a unique opportunity to promote sustainable growth and make a positive impact on the local economy in the long term. That's why it's important for us to continue to understand that corporate responsibility today goes much further than just donating money to the communities where we have a presence.
Our ambition is to be the most admired steel company in the world, and the way we protect, foster, and engage with all our communities is absolutely key to that.
