ArcelorMittal has published its 2025 Sustainability Report, outlining progress made last year toward its long-term commitments to safer and lower-carbon steelmaking, alongside updates to its decarbonisation trajectory in response to changing market and policy conditions. The report is prepared in line with the EU Non-Financial Reporting Directive and reflects principles from IFRS, GRI, SASB, the UN Global Compact and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
ArcelorMittal CEO Aditya Mittal said the company’s two most material sustainability issues are safety and climate. He noted that in 2025 all safety KPIs improved versus the previous year, while the company continues to pursue net zero by 2050 and has revised its 2030 emissions reduction expectations due to concerns around competitiveness, re-industrialisation, inflation and energy security.
In the first full year of its three-year safety transformation programme, ArcelorMittal reported improvements in key safety indicators, including:
The company said more than 130 safety roadmaps containing over 3,000 targeted actions are being deployed globally as part of a unified approach to building “One Safety Culture,” aimed at reaching a zero-fatality and zero-serious injury business.
ArcelorMittal said it reduced absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 47.7% since 2018 (including portfolio changes). It reported a 2025 group carbon intensity of 1.79tCO₂e per tonne of steel produced.
Based on investments already committed and current market and policy conditions, the company expects to achieve up to a 10% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030 versus 2018, while maintaining its ambition of net-zero emissions by 2050.
The report highlights progress on ArcelorMittal’s €1.3bn transformation project at Dunkirk, which will replace one blast furnace with a 2-million-tonne electric arc furnace (EAF). The company expects the project to cut the site’s emissions by approximately 25% and said it is supported by funding from the French government, competitive low-carbon power secured through a long-term contract with EDF, and a strengthened European policy environment.
ArcelorMittal also said it now expects 5.4 million tonnes of additional EAF capacity to be in operation globally by 2030.
ArcelorMittal reported further expansion of its renewable energy portfolio in 2025, with 1.9GW commissioned (1.6GW on an equity basis) of solar, wind and hybrid capacity across India, Brazil and Argentina. It also reported an additional 1.4GW (1.2GW on an equity basis) under development for commissioning by 2028.
The company said these projects are intended to provide competitively priced low-carbon electricity to steelmaking sites and joint ventures, reducing energy costs and enabling near-term emissions reductions.
ArcelorMittal said it strengthened its people-driven culture in 2025 with a focus on leadership, talent development and workforce capability. It cited investment in learning to support leadership progression and internal mobility, and large-scale upskilling programmes including AI-readiness training. The group also said it maintained support for employees affected by conflict, including initiatives to reintegrate Ukrainian veterans, which it said received a World Steel Association Steelie award.
On innovation, the company said it invested US$335 million in R&D in 2025, launching 38 new products and solutions for sustainable construction, energy systems, mobility and infrastructure. It referenced Helioroof, integrating steel roofing and solar generation, and next-generation materials for electric mobility described as lighter, stronger and more efficient.
ArcelorMittal also said it complemented innovation with strengthened environmental governance, AI-enabled monitoring and targeted capital investment to support improvements across key environmental indicators and enable more resilient, circular and efficient operations.
The report states that across three focus areas—renewable energy, materials and solutions, and transformation of operations—revenues from renewables, electrical steels, selected EAF/DRI production, and low-carbon building panels represented 13% of total company revenues in 2025.
