Message from the General Manager

This is our second Environmental Statement, following registration to the EMAS scheme last year, and covers the year of 2010. Through its pages you will see that despite an exceptionally difficult market, we have not lost our focus of continual improvement in our Health, Safety and Environmental performance.

Nearly all of the objectives and targets that we set ourselves for 2010 have been met and those that haven’t been met were, in the main, directly related to market performance effects, which is a testament to the commitment of all of our employees and that of our service contractors.

Business growth has to be integrated with environmentally sustainable decisions and practices so it is right to look at our business performance through economic, social and environmental lenses and to seek synergies between these facets as we develop and grow the business.

CELSA is a recycling business, turning end of use ferrous scrap into new steel for use in the construction industry, and as such plays an important part in the UK Governments’ ‘Sustainable Construction Policy’. EMAS registration and the publication of this statement is demonstration of our environmental focus, and this coupled with our certification to the Eco Reinforcement and BES 6001 standards enables users of our products to specify them with confidence.

Our process makes new steel by melting steel scrap in an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF). Steel produced in this way consumes only a third of the energy and emits only one sixth of the CO2 when compared with other steelmaking processes , and typically, 95% of the waste arisings from the processes are useful by-products that are either recycled or reused. The process produces relatively little true waste for disposal.

The use of modern and best available techniques, employing and nurturing the right people, and continually improving our processes will enable us to achieve ambitious environmental performance targets for our business and our continued development in this field is not only my personal wish, but our strategic goal for an environmentally responsible business.

Introduction

EMASThis document has been prepared by CELSA Manufacturing UK Ltd (CELSA Steel UK) in accordance with the requirements of the Eco Management & Audit Scheme (EMAS) as set out in European Council Regulation 761/01. EMAS is a voluntary scheme designed to recognise and reward those organisations that go beyond minimum legal compliance and continuously improve their environmental performance, therefore demonstrating ‘green’ credentials. It was initially established by European Regulation 1836/93, although this has been replaced by Council Regulation 1221/2009. It is a requirement of the scheme that participating organisations regularly produce a public Environmental Statement that reports the organization’s environmental performance clearly and accurately. The accuracy and reliability of the information in this voluntary publication must be checked and certified by an independent environmental verifier.

This document is the Environmental Statement of CELSA’s environmental attributes and environmental performance for the period 2006 to 2010. All the information is independently verified for accuracy, and a statement of confirmation is provided by the verifier at the end of the document.

Eco-Reinforcement & BES 6001As part of CELSA’s contribution to sustainable construction practices and sustainable development objectives, CELSA’s products are accredited to the Eco-Reinforcement Responsible Sourcing Standard (Issue 2, Eco-Reinforcement Ltd 2009) and to the Eco-Reinforcement parent standard, BES 6001, the BRE Environmental & Sustainability Standard for the Responsible Sourcing of Construction Products (Issue 2, BRE Global Ltd 2009). This Environmental Statement has also been written in accordance with the higher level requirements of both the Standards.

In November 2010, Celsa improved its Eco-Reinforcement certification rating, rising from ‘Pass’ to ‘Good’, whilst also attaining BES 6001 certification for all other steel products manufactured in Cardiff, which also achieved a ‘Good’ rating. The improvement in rating is an indicator of the continuous improvement Celsa has accomplished following its commitment to implementing EMAS, and the progress realised through certification to the Eco-Reinforcement standard.

Steel is almost 100% recyclable and can be recycled indefinitely without losing its quality. It can be efficiently and easily recovered for recycling from mixed waste streams.

There are currently two technologies for producing steel: that used in blast furnace plants which utilise iron ore to create new steel, and that used in electric furnaces which recycles steel scrap metal into new products.

One tonne of steel that is made from recycled scrap using an electric furnace, compared with primary steel manufacture saves:

• 1,350 tonnes of Iron ore;

• 450kg of coal; and

• 20kg of limestone compared to primary steel manufacture from iron ore2.

Typically, the electric furnace process:

• Emissions to air and water are reduced by approximately 80%.

CELSA has one of the lowest Carbon Dioxide per tonne of Carbon Steel (CO2 / tCs) rates for EAF steelmaking in Europe.

CELSA – 2010Direct emissions 0.054 ton CO2 / ton steel

Direct and Indirect emissions 0.288 ton CO2 / ton steel The arithmetic average of the top 10% most efficient installations (9.6), after verification, is as follows: Direct emissions0.061 ton CO2 / ton steel

Significant environmental aspects

CELSA recognises that, like any manufacturing business, its activities can have both direct and indirect impacts upon the environment and in some cases these impacts have the potential to be significant if not properly managed.

CELSA has carefully evaluated and identified through its ISO14001 Environmental Management System the aspects of its business activities that could have an environmental impact. CELSA aspects are evaluated to determine their significance and reviewed on an ongoing basis. These are summarised as follows:

Use of raw materialsWe produce over 1,000,000 tonnes of steel every year and this utilises large volumes of raw materials in the process, including ferrous scrap, and mineral additions such as ferro-alloys and lime, as well as consumables like refractories and electrodes. CELSA carefully manage their raw materials to ensure that they are responsibly sourced taking account of their environmental impact and used efficiently to avoid waste.

Use of energyAs part of the metal recycling process a significant amount of energy is used in the form of electricity, natural gas and carbon additions. We are careful to ensure that our processes are efficient so as to minimise the use of energy and to avoid waste.

Use of waterDuring the production process of recycling steel water is used for process and product cooling. Some cooling water is lost by evaporation in cooling towers. This is an unavoidable loss but we work hard to minimise the use of water to ensure that we exceed the standards laid down for our processes, by harvesting as much rainwater as possible.

Emissions to airDuring the process of recycling steel scrap into new steel, large quantities of dust laden fumes are generated. These fumes are captured and filtered to remove as much dust as possible but some particles will escape to air. Natural gas is also used in our processes and products of combustion (SOX, NOx, and CO) are released to air.

‘we currently recycle or reuse over 95% of the wastes that we generate’

11

Significant environmental aspects

Emissions to waterProcess water cooling systems normally involves closed circuit cooling systems, which minimise releases to water. However these systems require the use of chemical treatment to prevent corrosion, stop the formation of legionella and allow the removal of sludge. Periodically we have to drain the systems down to the sewer system or to controlled waters which we try to keep to a minimum.

Production of CO2

The on site production of CO2 is significant and comes from the combustion of carbon bearing sources such as natural gas, coke and carbon. We also have to consider the CO2 that is created from the generation of the electricity that we use in our processes.

Use of oils and greasesAs with most mechanical processes we have to use lubricants and hydraulic oils. As these are mostly hydrocarbon based we try to minimise their use to avoid the depletion of natural resources, and to avoid the disposal impact of hazardous waste.

Generation of wasteInvariably waste, both hazardous and non-hazardous, is generated from the processing of scrap metal. Over 95% of the wastes produced are recycled, recovered or re-used.

TransportationAll our raw materials and finished products require transport either by road or by rail. We continuously evaluate ways to minimise the impact of transport and use rail wherever possible.

Impact of noiseOur processes are that of heavy industry and can generate some noise. We continuously work to reduce the impact of noise on the local community.

Cardiff Bay

CELSA recognises that its business has a potentially large environmental footprint that could impact upon the environment if not managed effectively. Due to the nature of the manufacturing process there is a requirement for each operation to be permitted under the UK Environmental Permitting regime and is regulated by the Environment Agency Wales. CELSA monitors it’s compliance against emission limit values and discharge consents in accordance with each of the permit requirements.

CELSA holds the following permits/authorisations:

New Melt Shop: Environmental Permit (TP3639BH)Trade Effluent Discharge Consent (TE147G)

Rod and Bar Mill: Environmental Permit (EPR/BV0759IC) Licence to Abstract Water (21/57/25/0048)

Sections Mill: Environmental Permit (BV0767)Trade Effluent Discharge Consent (TE147F)

Mineral Site: Environmental Permit (EPR/WP3699FQ) Licence to Abstract Water (21/57/25/78)

Environmental data relating to CELSA’s Environmental Permits is reported to the Environment Agency. Information can be found from the Environment Agency’s web site at: www.environment-agency.gov.uk.

Whilst CELSA has not had any significant environmental incidents there have been a small number of Schedule 1 incidents which, in accordance with the Environmental Permits require notification to the Environment Agency. These events have been limited to fugitive releases of dust from the Melt Shop, breaches of permitted limits for carbon monoxide and particulates. CELSA in all such cases has been proactive in identifying the cause of such incidents and for investigating and implementing corrective measures.

For those aspects of CELSA’s operations that represent the greatest potential for negative environmental interaction (emissions to air, land and water and energy consumption), the table opposite shows typical levels of these emissions and discharges relative to our permitted limits.

Environmental objectives and targets

As part of CELSA’s Environmental Management System, CELSA has identified all of its potentially significant environmental aspects, whilst considering its legal requirements. Objectives and Targets are set on an annual basis to deliver continual improvement in the management of these environmental aspects.

CELSA’s governance of environmental issues goes beyond compliance with regulatory requirements and the company commitment to EMAS is evidence of this strive to operate our business in an environmentally responsible manner. This is demonstrated through the setting of targets that deliver continued environmental performance.

Objective and targets performance

New Melt Shop (MS)• Reduce incoming commercial water consumption (m3/tonne) by 5% in 2010 compared with 2009 levels. The Melt Shop achieved the 5% target.

• Reduce general waste disposal (tonnes) by 10% compared with 2009 disposal. The MS exceeded the 10% target.

• Reduce hazardous waste disposal (tonnes) by 5% compared with 2009 disposal. The MS exceeded the 5% target.

• Reduce electricity consumption by 5% (kWh) compared with 2009 consumption.

The MS did not meet the 5% target reduction for electricity consumption. A number of energy efficiency measures were introduced during 2010 and CELSA implemented an energy management team as part of the company’s annual strategic objectives and engaged with the Carbon Trust to look at methods to reduce energy consumption. The reason for not achieving the target was due to the need to meet the short-term dynamic needs of our customers. More stoppages were required to change product mixes, which meant that overall electricity consumption remained at the 2009 levels, and a further electricity reduction target has been set for 2011.

• Minimise Noise Complaints in 2010 compared with 2009 levels. The MS significantly reduced the number of

noise complaints in 2010 compared with 2009 levels.

• Minimise Fugitive Dust Complaints in 2010 compared with 2009 levels. MS has managed to reduce the fugitive dust complaints in 2010 compared with 2009 levels.

Rod & Bar Mill (RBM)• Reduce lubricating oil consumption (litres) by 10% compared with 2009. The RBM exceeded the 10% target.

• Reduce electricity consumption (kWh/ tonne) by 5% compared with 2009.

A number of energy efficiency measures were introduced at the RBM during 2010 and CELSA implemented an energy management team as part of the company’s annual strategic objectives. The reason for not achieving the target was due to the need to meet the short-term dynamic demands of our customers, more stoppages were required to change sizes. This had a considerable effect on the energy consumption and mill energy efficiency. A further electricity reduction target has been set for 2011.

• Reduce gas consumption (kWh/tonne) by 5% compared with 2009 consumption.

Again as with electricity consumption, a number of energy efficiency measureswere introduced during 2010 and CELSA implemented an energy management team as part of the company’s strategic annual objectives. The reason for not achieving the target was due to the need to meet the short-term dynamic

demands of our customers, more stoppages were required to change sizes. This had a considerable effect on the energy consumption and energy efficiency. A further gas reduction target has been set for 2011.

• Reduce general waste disposal (tonnes) by 5% compared with 2009 disposal. The RBM exceeded the 5% target.

• Reduce hazardous waste disposal (tonnes) by 5% compared with 2009 disposal. The RBM exceeded the 5% target.

Sections Mill (SM)• Reduce incoming commercial water consumption (m3/month) by 6% compared with 2009 consumption. The SM exceeded the 6% target.

• Reduce Usage of Hydraulic Oil (closed systems oil) (litres/month) by 8% compared with 2009 consumption. The SM exceeded the 8% target.

• Reduce Effluent Discharge (m3/ month) by 14% compared with 2009 consumption. The SM exceeded the 14% target.

Logistics• Increase delivery of scrap by rail by 5% (gCO2/tonne of product handled). The logistics department achieved the 5% target.

• Increase delivery of finished product by rail by 5% (CO2/tonne of product handled). CELSA did not achieve this target to increase delivery of finished product by rail. The reason for not achieving the target was due to the need to meet the short-term dynamic demands of our customer requirements.• Increase efficiency and effectiveness of internal product movement (tonnes/ diesel used). The logistics department achieved the 5% target.

Objectives and targets

New Melt Shop• Reduce general waste (tonnes) by 5%

• Reduce water consumption (m3/ tonne) by 5%

• Reduce total energy (KWh/tonne) by 3%

• Minimise noise complaints

• Minimise fugitive emission complaints

• Minimise CO emissions

Rod & Bar Mill• Reduce lubricating oil consumption (litres) by 5%

• Reduce general waste disposal (tonnes) by 5%

• Reduce hazardous waste disposal (tonnes) by 5%

• Reduce electricity consumption (KWh/tonne) by 3%

• Reduce gas consumption (KWh/tonne) by 3%

Sections Mill• Reduce commercial water consumption (litres) by 5%

• Reduce domestic water consumption (litres) by 6%

• Reduce usage of hydraulic oil (closed systems oil) (litres/month) by 8%

• Reduce effluent discharge (m3/ month) by 5%

• Reduce general waste disposal (tonnes) by 5%

• Reduce hazardous waste disposal (tonnes) by 5%

• Reduce electricity consumption (kWh/ tonne) by 5%

• Reduce gas consumption (kWh/tonne) by 5%

Logistics• Increase delivery of scrap by Rail by 5%

• Increase delivery of finished product by Rail 5%

Note – the logistics targets are currently under review due to current market conditions.

Note – where a % reduction is stated this will be measured against the 2010 performance.

The 2012 Objectives and Targets will be set at the next annual management review meeting which is scheduled for October 2011.

Raw materials efficiencyCELSA’s manufacturing operation is effectively a metal recycling process. The principal feedstock is steel scrap which is consumed in the process to make new steel, but there is a need to provide certain additives to achieve the right quality of new steel. The process is about 95% efficient with the only wastes being furnace flue dust, slag and millscale, each of which are materials that have other beneficial uses.

The raw materials data for the plant is summarised in the following graphs.

Energy efficiencyThe use of energy is one of the greatest environmental impacts. Energy efficiency is therefore fundamental to the business strategy and consumption of electricity and natural gas is continuously monitored and measured. Approximately 18% of electricity supplied to the plant comes from renewable sources.

‘MS aims to achieve 6% energy consumption saving in 2011 thanks to ongoing support from Carbon Trust’

The Melt Shop is well on the way to achieving a 6% improvement in energy consumption. This means a reduction in CO2 emissions by over 18,000 tonnes this year alone.

In February 2010, the MS team called upon the Carbon Trust Wales to help provide a strategic focus to their energy savings plans and assist in delivering energy savings. The Carbon Trust carried out a Carbon Management

Energy Efficiency survey to identify which energy efficiency projects would deliver the best return on investment, as well as highlighting areas of the business needing specialist support.

Working with a Carbon Trust consultant experienced in the Ferrous Sector, the team at CELSA MS has improved its appreciation of the data available from its energy metering & monitoring system. Combining data analysis with site process knowledge has refocused targeting and analysis to identify further areas for reducing kWh/t energy consumption. The approach highlighted areas where the EAF process and services could be used even more

efficiently, which is central to the metal recycling process. Manageable plans have now been put in place to roll out a programme of change over the coming years. In the last year, metering and monitoring has led to a saving of over 47GWh’s and over 22,700 tonnes of CO2.

Bill Barnes, CELSA’s Melt Shop Manager comments: “We have implemented a series of low or no cost measures to improve our energy efficiency. For example, we reduced the number of lamps in the scrap bay and installed high output multitube fittings with light level and sensor controls in the metal stores area. The payback period for changes like these is less than a year and has yielded 190 tonnes in CO2 reductions.”

“We are currently putting plans in place to install Variable Speed Drives at various points throughout our production process to yield even higher CO2 savings. You can’t manage what you can’t measure and thanks to the specialist advice and support from the Carbon Trust, together with our ongoing continuous improvement programme, the Melt Shop is on track to achieve significant advances in energy efficiency.”

Dave Moore, Account Manager at Carbon Trust Wales, adds:“The Melt Shop at CELSA in Cardiff is a great example of a company who are dedicated to achieving carbon reduction savings. Being able to assist in identifying savings from a complex melting operation underlines the importance of involving a sector specialist Carbon Trust consultant. We are continuing to work with Bill and the Team on a number of areas for improvement to ensure the continued success of their programme.”

CO2 emissionsCO2 is produced as a direct result of energy usage, together with the carbon sources used in the steelmaking process. The primary sources of CO2 are the use of electricity, natural gas and the carbon bearing materials used for steelmaking.

Emissions of CO2 are determined by a combination of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) verified reporting data for the Melt Shop carbon mass balance, together with the UK Climate Change Levy Agreement (CCLA)

CO2 standard emission factors. The indirect emission of CO2 from the use of electricity is taken account of and included in the data shown.

Atmospheric emissionsCELSA recognises that its processes have the potential for significant releases of atmospheric emissions, and it is an aspect of the business that is monitored and controlled very carefully. Potentially significant emissions are regulated through each of the Environmental Permits and measured and monitored to ensure that they do not exceed the maximum permitted emission limit values specified in the Environmental Permits which are determined in accordance with

prevailing legislation. The Environmental Permits were granted and are rigorously enforced by the Environment Agency Wales.

The total annual air emissions for NO2, SOx, Carbon Monoxide CO, Total Particulates (PM10) and CO2 from 2006 are summarised in the graphs below:

Water usageCELSA takes its responsibility regarding water management very seriously to ensure that the use and consumption of water is controlled and minimised.

Water is used on the plants primarily for cooling purposes both in the making of steel and the re-rolling of it. All of our cooling systems are closed loop re-circulatory systems which minimise water usage, with the main losses being evaporation. We also

harvest water extensively by collecting rainwater from the building roofs to supplement the use of treated raw water from the city water supplies. CELSA typically expects to be able to provide between 10 and 20% of its total water demand from this harvested rainwater.

Precise figures cannot be provided as the contribution from rainwater is determined by the incidence and duration of rainfall events which are of course highly variable.

Water quality and waste waterWater used on the plants for cooling purposes requires treatment in order to prevent legionella, therefore it is necessary to use biocides, as well as corrosion inhibitors and flocculants to aid in the removal of solids from the water. Stringent limits are set in the Environmental Permits and/or Consents to Discharge on the quality of the water that we can release from the systems. In order to meet these requirements we undertake regular monitoring of the effluent streams.

‘The Sections Mill has achieved significant reduction in effluent discharge since 2008’

The CELSA Sections Mill has achieved more than a 60% reduction in effluent discharge during 2009 and 2010 and is well on the way to achieving a further significant reduction in effluent discharge in 2011. This means a reduction in effluent discharge in 2009 by over 12,000m3 and a further 24,000m3 in 2010.

In late 2008, the Sections Mill team started to strategically focus on effluent discharge from the hot rolling mill to assist in delivering resource efficiency measures.

This was undertaken by improved monitoring & measuring systems. This allowed more ‘real-time’ monitoring of effluent volumes discharged from site and thus allowing quick responses to any anomalies in discharge volumes from the plant.

Colin Beavis, the Sections Mill Process Manager comments: “The main focus was to look at what was adding to the volume of water in our ‘closed’ mill water system, e.g. rain, water cooled systems, heat exchangers etc. We then focused on minimising them.”

Combining data analysis with site process knowledge has refocused targeting and analysis to identify further areas for reducing effluent discharge.

By-products and waste managementWaste by-products are inevitably generated from the processing of metal scrap to new steel. These by-products are targeted for reduction as part of our resource efficiency.

As well as targeting reduction, CELSA endeavour to recover or reuse any waste generated where practicable. All wastes are appropriately segregated. Currently CELSA recover or reuse over 95% of waste generated and the remaining 5%

is sent for disposal, with a small fraction of solid waste that is sent to landfill.

The principal routine waste streams that are generated by the business are:

Recovered/Reused (By-products):• Steel Slag – Reused as a secondary aggregate

• Mill Scale – Reused in the ferroalloy and cement industry

• Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Dust – Recovery of zinc and other metals

Waste• Oily solids – Sent to disposal facility

• Oily liquids – Sent to disposal facility

• General waste – Sent to non- hazardous landfill

Only small volumes of general waste are disposed to landfill.

Transport impacts

‘CELSA seek to continuously improve and adopt more sustainable transportation options’

CELSA is committed to incorporating sustainability considerations into all of its manufacturing and business activities and recognises the need to balance the requirements of environmental, social and economic obligations with business growth aspirations. Transportation and logistics is a key area where CELSA seeks to continuously improve and adopt more sustainable transportation options. CELSA utilises a range of transport methodologies including road, sea and rail, depending on the geographical location of its customers and transport network availability. Where possible more sustainable methods of transport such as rail and sea are adopted as the preferred method of moving our raw materials and finished products.

As part of the BES6001 and Eco-Reinforcement Standard requirements, CELSA calculates the transport mileage and CO2 emissions by mode of transport for both its raw materials and finished reinforcing product deliveries. This data is presented in the following graph.

Biodiversity

CELSA inherited an already heavily industrialised portfolio of sites with little or no green space and hence very limited opportunities for enhancement of biodiversity. Consequently this is not a key indicator for CELSA.

The approximate areas for each site are:

• Rod & Bar Mill (Castle Works) 184,244 m2

• Melt Shop and Sections Mill (Tremorfa Steel Works) 324,344 m2

Of these areas it is estimated that less than 1.0% are unsurfaced. As such, biodiversity at these sites is very limited and the sites have not been identified as important habitat sites. However, CELSA does contribute to local projects where biodiversity enhancement is a key component.

Wildlife Trusts WalesCELSA has become Welsh Wildlife Partners with the Wildlife Trusts Wales as a way of meeting a number of its corporate social responsibility objectives. Our Gold membership supports conservation work, thereby helping to offset CELSA’s impact on biodiversity.

Sarah Kessell, Chief Executive of the Wildlife Trust of South and West Wales (WTSWW) on presentation of the membership certificate said; “We are proud to work with CELSA Manufacturing. Not only are they committed to nature conservation, but their recycled steel reinforcing products help to ensure we are making the most of the world’s resources and play a part in our move toward a more sustainable future”.


Community & stakeholder engagement

28

OverviewAt CELSA, we understand the effect that our operations may have on our local community. We have developed a local community engagement strategy through a community action plan to engage in a number of community and stakeholder initiatives and projects as part of EMAS.

To achieve this CELSA has a Strategic Objective for sustaining EMAS and has formed an implementation team to examine initiatives and opportunities for community and employee engagement.

Communities 1st

CELSA is an official member of the Local Partnership Group (LPG) for Splott and Tremorfa Communities 1st which is a Welsh Assembly Government flagship programme to improve the living conditions and prospects for people in the most disadvantaged communities across Wales.

Splott LEAFCELSA is also a member of and working with the local environmental group Splott LEAF (Local Environmental Action Forum).

Carbon TrustCELSA is also working in partnership with the Carbon Trust to identify energy reduction measures which will help us to reduce our carbon footprint.

Cardiff Carbon LiteAs one of the largest energy consumers in Cardiff, CELSA is part of the Carbon Lite – Working Group Committee, whose objective is to reduce the carbon footprint of Cardiff City.

ProjectWildlife Nursery ProjectA group of CELSA volunteers from the Rod & Bar Mill helped a local nursery by building a couple of raised beds and a ‘bug hotel’ for the children to use as part of their sensory learning. The nursery was very appreciative for the time and effort put in by CELSA employees. This was a first ‘joint’ project between CELSA and JEWSON’s. JEWSON’s has very kindly donated materials for the project.

ProjectEducation in the Community – Willows High SchoolCELSA has started to work together with Willows High School. CELSA were approached by Willows High School to help support year 10 students with their science curriculum.

Andras Luka, Head of Science, Willows High School thought it could be a good opportunity to link GCSE science lessons to CELSA’s operations. Andras thought, ‘Why not ask CELSA to come and talk to us about their systems?’ The year 10

students had to compare how the school needs to manage emergency evacuation and fire fighting with another organisation.

CELSA received very good feedback from both Mr Luka and the pupils. Most importantly it was commented by the pupils that CELSA demonstrated that the curriculum was relevant to the real world of work.

Willows High School – Development of Outdoor Learning Area We have committed with Communities 1st to help support the development of

an outdoor learning area with a small group of pupils called HYPE at Willows High School. This project included a number of volunteers from CELSA together with Communities 1st and pupils from Willows High HYPE group. It is anticipated that the work on the outdoor learning area will take 12 months to complete.

ProjectCELSA Helps Residents to Combat Antisocial BehaviourThe Moorland Road Flats residents in Splott have recently been plagued by antisocial behaviour from people taking scrap metal from the rail trucks parked in Tidal Sidings. The thieves were gaining access to the Tidal Sidings site by using the Moorland Road flats car park as point of entry to the sidings, destroying the fencing in the process. The residents faced daily abuse, threats and noise at night and in desperation wrote to CELSA, requesting help. CELSA convened a site meeting of all the interested parties including the Police, the British Transport Police and DB Schenker.

It was proposed by CELSA that a slag wall should be built along the perimeter fence in Tidal Sidings to act as a deterrent to the thieves. The wall was completed mid August as joint project between CELSA, who supplied over 1000

tonnes of slag material, and DB Schenker who own the Tidal Sidings site and provided the machines and labour to build the wall. The residents are delighted that something has at last been done to help them to eradicate this antisocial problem.

CommunicationCELSA’s website hosts a local community page and a corporate responsibility page. These detail our local community work. We have also included on the website an email address of CELSA’s General Manager for local stakeholders to communicate any concerns or issues to the most senior manager in the CELSA business [email protected]

Noise & ComplaintsLocal residentsCELSA is committed to being a good neighbour. The views and opinions of local residents are extremely valuable to us and we take them very seriously.

Any issues raised by local residents relating to Health, Safety and the Environment are investigated fully by our senior EHS team and where appropriate preventative measures are implemented and feedback is provided to the concerned party.

NoiseWe have been working with the Environment agency to reduce the noise impact on local residents from the steelmaking process. After making significant changes to the scrap storage and handling procedures we have seen a real reduction in noise levels impacting local residents homes.

Contact usIf you are a member of our local community and have a query, or would like to know more about us, please contact us by sending an email to [email protected] and we will respond as soon as possible.

Health & Safety overviewCELSA is aware that its activities can not only lead to significant environmental impacts but can have Health and Safety implications for employees and visitors. Consequently, there is a strong linkage between health, safety and employee welfare culture at CELSA and the environmental management and sustainability culture of the business.

Health & Safety CampaignCELSA has a Strategic Objective for 2011 with a focused implementation team. CELSA is striving to become the sector leader in safety, with an aim to achieve a 50% reduction of lost time accidents. This is led by a ‘Time Out for Safety’ campaign.

Employee engagement overviewTo support the management of environment, health and safety (EHS) management, CELSA has implemented a number of employee engagement initiatives during 2010 and will continue in 2011, as follows.

EHS Suggestion SchemeThe EHS suggestion scheme was launched in 2010 and is open to all employees and encourages them to make suggestions which will improve the Environmental, Health & Safety performance of the business.

Suggestions are reviewed by the senior management team and improvements are implemented accordingly. Each quarter a prize is awarded for the best suggestion and an annual prize for the best overall suggestion.

EHS Recognition Dinner and AwardsOn 19 May 2011 CELSA held the first EHS Recognition Awards Dinner to recognise the achievement in EHS that was made during 2010.

The awards were presented by the General Manager Luis Sanz.

The award was given to Carl Brown for the best suggestion of the year, for a billet lifting device, which significantly

improved the safety of lifting billets from the roughing stands of the Sections Mill.

The main award of the evening was for the most improved business in both Safety and Environmental performance, and was awarded to Sections Mill.

EHS Newsletter In 2011 as part of the strategic Environment, Health & Safety campaigns to improve internal communications, CELSA will launch the EHS Newsletter. The newsletter is a quarterly communication for all employees and service contractors and provides EHS information, projects, initiatives, employee participation etc.
