A message from our Managing Director & CEO
BlueScope's FY2022 Sustainability Summary features some of the highlights across our business as our people work to deliver sustainable projects, products and performance in line with Our Purpose.
Sustainable growth and transformation
Safe, healthy and inclusive workplaces
Climate action
Responsible products and supply chains
Strong communities
We are delighted that our commitment to, and action on, sustainable development was recognised by worldsteel naming BlueScope a Sustainability Champion for 2022. And our HSE Evolution program was named a joint winner of worldsteel's Safety and Health Excellence Recognition in Leadership and Culture for 2021.
Also this year, the Port Kembla Steelworks and associated sites in New South Wales' Illawarra region were granted ResponsibleSteelTM certification - the first steelmaker in Asia Pacific to be certified and the fourth globally.
We have become a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact and commit to make its ten principles part of our culture and the way we work every day. In addition, we have updated our Human Rights Policy to enshrine further protections for our people and those we work with.
Through innovations in product development and across the steel value chain we are seizing opportunities to further contribute to the circular economy. Where possible, we
are adopting technologies to use more scrap feed at our steelmaking sites, and the establishment of BlueScope Recycling and Materials during the year helps us improve the quantity and quality of scrap.
This Sustainability Summary gives a snapshot of the many ways BlueScope people live Our Purpose, every day:
'We create and inspire smart solutions in steel, to strengthen our communities for the future.'
