ESG in the steel industry

ESG, an acronym based on the terms Environmental, Social, and Governance, was coined in 2004 in a publication by the UN Global Compact in partnership with the World Bank titled Who Cares Wins. This report introduced the pillars of corporate structure that, according to the study, are most likely to succeed when ESG practices are implemented. Today, ESG is regarded as a new form of corporate sustainability, addressing issues that are fundamental to sustainable development.

Description

The steel industry—present in the value chain of virtually every business and sector—has remained attentive to global trends and has sought to take a leading role in managing these topics. The effort to align purpose with value creation for all stakeholders has brought clear benefits to the sector. Companies aligned with the ESG agenda have improved their management of environmental impacts, implemented transparent actions and policies, and, in collaboration with their employees and other stakeholders, built a culture of trust that leads to better results, both tangible and intangible.

For this reason, Alacero, as the representative of the steel sector in Latin America, recognizing the relevance of this approach to industry management and operations, developed a course specifically for the sector to disseminate and standardize understanding of ESG concepts.

In this course, participants will develop skills to make strategic decisions and understand the importance of the sustainability agenda in today’s business environment. They will learn how environmental, social, and governance risks can affect a company's financial performance, and how implementing sustainable practices can positively influence results. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the tools and knowledge to address sustainability challenges in the corporate world and make informed, strategic decisions.
