Turnkey and Greenfield Projects

Arcelormittal has been very sensitive about its environmental footprint and is constantly

emphasizes ‘sustainability as a part of its policies’. It has a set of envioronmental

policies which the company follows:

On the other hand, Linde North America led a four-month, turnkey project to implement

the REBOX® flameless oxyfuel technology at the seamless tube mill. The result was a

25 percent increase in reheating capacity and a decrease in fuel consumption of 50

percent versus oxy-enrichment and 65 percent versus airfuel. The implementation also

delivered improved temperature uniformity for better piercing results, a 50 percent

reduction of scale formation and minimized nitrogen oxide (NOX) and carbon dioxide

(CO2) emissions. With this company, Arcelormittal has planned to help the company as

much as they can in the other projects like this.

Arcelormittal also has a foundation which does social responsibility work for the

Page 20: ArcelorMittal

company. The Casa Buna prototype wasin the ArcelorMittal facility in Pantelimon,

Bucharest. It uses a steel frame superstructure, steel roof tile system, steel rainwater

extraction system and a steel cladding. The model has been tested for energy efficiency

and carefully assessed to ensure comfort and adequate living space. As a result of its

partnership with Habitat for Humanity, in 2009 ArcelorMittal is constructing three ‘Casa

Buna’ homes (housing 12 families) in Romania. The Group is also providing funding for

critically needed renovations to more than 20 apartment block homes in the country.

These renovations also include measures to improve energy efficiency.

ArcelorMittal supports the European Regulation of 18 December 2006 concerning

the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH),

which entered into force on 1 June 2007.

Companies from the ArcelorMittal Group, like all European companies manufacturing,

importing or using chemical substances covered by REACH, are concerned by this new

European Regulation and will make every effort to comply with it, without compromising

their commercial relationships with customers.

ArcelorMittal is actively engaged in the REACH process and ensures that the

manufactured or imported substances on their own or in preparations are pre-registered

and will give notification of any substances of very high concern (SVHC) in articles,

according to REACH requirements.
