worldsteel launches Climate Action recognition programme

The World Steel Association (worldsteel) announced the launch of its Climate Action recognition programme. Full details are available on a new dedicated website, the climate change microsite, also launched on www.worldsteel.org . These two initiatives are important supporting elements which underscore the steel industry's commitment and effort to reduce its CO2 emissions. The worldsteel Climate Action recognition programme recognises steel producers who have fulfilled their commitment to participate in the worldsteel CO2 emissions data collection programme. The programme was launched in April 2008 and is at the core of the global steel sectoral approach advocated by the world steel industry. It measures the current level of emissions from the production of steel worldwide. Climate Action is open to all steel producers, members and non-members of worldsteel alike. worldsteel also launched its climate change microsite at www.worldsteel.org/climatechange .
