http://www.arcelormittal.com/southafrica/ Introducing our second sustainability report Welcome to our second sustainability report covering the year ended 31 December 2007. In this report we aim to provide a balanced account of our performance on the socio-economic, ethical and environmental issues which are most material to ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited. While we want this report to be both objective and credible, we have not engaged in an independent assurance process. Our most material issues around pricing, our environmental impact and transformation are in the public realm and subject to active engagement with the stakeholders concerned. We have been guided in the compilation of this report firstly by the principles of good governance as introduced by the King II Report of 2002. Further, we have used the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) G3 Guidelines (see index appended) to reference our performance. In addition, the DTI’s Codes of Good Practice provides a yardstick to our progress against the government’s transformational imperatives. The information in this report covers only the operations of ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited, and not those of the international group. While some of the operational and environmental information is presented separately for each production facility, most of the social impact information (e.g. the workplace, safety and health) has been aggregated for the company as a whole. This report is printed on a “Triple Green” paper grade manufactured according to three environmental pillars: A minimum 60% of the pulp used in the production of this paper is sugar cane fibre, which is the material remaining after raw sugar has been extracted from sugar cane; the bleaching process is elemental chlorine-free; and the remaining pulp used in the production process comprises wood fibre which is obtained from sustainable and internationally-certified afforestation, using independently audited chains of custody.
