Inventing smarter steels for a better world: ArcelorMittal launches
new group website
11 March 2020
ArcelorMittal has today launched a new group website, developed
around the company’s purpose of ‘Inventing smarter steels for a
better world’. The site showcases the role that steel can play in a
future low-carbon, circular economy; outlines how ArcelorMittal is
embracing technology developments to address trends that will shape
the future; and demonstrates the critical role ArcelorMittal’s
products play in supporting societal transformation.
Commenting, Lakshmi Mittal. Chairman and CEO,
ArcelorMittal, said:
“Steel is a material that has played a vital role in building
the infrastructure of our world and much of what makes modern life
more comfortable and accessible. As we now seek to transition
to a more circular and sustainable world, I am convinced that steel
has a central role to play and will continue to for decades to
come. One of the miracles of steel is that it continues to
evolve – half the grades of steel we are producing today didn’t
exist ten years ago. And these new grades are being designed
to meet expectations for lighter vehicles, new energy systems and
more environmentally friendly buildings. That is why we define
our purpose as ‘Inventing smarter steels for a better
world’.
“Our website is an important point of contact with all our
stakeholders including current and future employees, shareholders,
customers, communities and civil society more broadly. It has
been designed not only to incorporate new technologies and be
easily navigable, but also to act as a central hub for all the work
the company is doing to create value for our
stakeholders. That includes: investing in new processes;
inventing new steels for customers; improving efficiency through
digitalisation; testing new technologies to reduce our carbon
footprint; promoting policy suggestions that will support a
transition to a low-carbon world; and offering exciting career
opportunities to solve some of the world’s most complex
problems.
“The steel industry, understandably, is often associated with
the past. I hope this site will serve to reinforce how it is
also a vital part of the future.”
A central pillar of the new website is its Smarter future
section, which explores the future of steel and its role in a
changing world. It includes four episodes from the first season of
a new podcast series, ‘Futurising’, which features ArcelorMittal
experts in conversation with a futurologist, covering:
- The future of mobility: Brian Aranha, head of automotive,
discusses how mobility may change in the future.
- The future of steel manufacturing: Greg Ludkovsky, head of
R&D, explores how steel manufacturing will be different in the
future, and imagines its reinvention.
- The future of construction: Olivier Vassart, CEO Steligence®,
discusses the future of buildings and the role of steel in
them.
- Sustainability: Dr Alan Knight, head of sustainable
development, reflects on the sustainable nature of steel, and how
this positions it as the ideal material for a sustainable
future.
The website contains case studies which outline how
ArcelorMittal is embracing the latest technological trends and
applying them across its business to deliver efficiency and
environmental improvements. Examples include:
- How we are looking at all possible technology pathways to
reduce our carbon footprint.
- How steels are supporting the global energy transition.
- How ArcelorMittal is making significant investments in
resources, time and management attention to understand how it can
take advantage of Industry 4.0, and use data and analytics to
create value for its customers and to improve its performance.
- How ArcelorMittal’s global R&D team has developed a
potato-based, biodegradable dust suppressant, applied as foam,
which can reduce secondary sinter dust emissions by more than
80%.
- How artificial intelligence algorithms inspired by the
path-finding behaviour of ant colonies in the wild has helped to
improve production line scheduling, delivering cost, productivity
and quality improvements.
The website also features a Making Steel infographic which
outlines the entire steelmaking journey, from mining to ironmaking
through to the use of steel in modern life. It also hosts a
Corporate library which includes ArcelorMittal’s reporting hub and
houses its policies and procedures.
The website can be accessed at
http://corporate.arcelormittal.com. It has been designed for
optimal viewing on mobile and tablet devices but is also fully
responsive across desktops.
