worldsteel uses eight indicators to measure key aspects of the steel industry’s economic, environmental and social sustainability performance on an annual basis.
worldsteel members have been providing data for the eight indicators every year since 2004. In 2024, a total of 93 steel companies and associations contributed to the data collection, representing 956.1 million tonnes—equivalent to 51% of global crude steel production. Of these, 74 organisations voluntarily reported on one or more of the eight sustainability indicators, with 36 providing comprehensive data for all eight.
