<h3>We are living in an age of remarkable progress, where invention and human ingenuity are driving unprecedented advances in global development.</h3> <p>Technology has a critical role in this transformation, but so do the materials that build our world. As one of the world’s leading steel and mining companies, we have an inherent stake in this and a clear responsibility.</p> <p>Steel is as relevant as ever to the future success of our world. As one of the only materials to be completely reusable and recyclable, it will play a critical role in building the circular economy of the future. Steel will continue to evolve, becoming smarter, and increasingly sustainable.</p> <p>At ArcelorMittal, our ambition is to continue to invent smarter steels for people and planet. Steels made using innovative processes which are more efficient, use less energy, and emit significantly less carbon. Steels that are cleaner, stronger and reusable. Steels for electric vehicles and renewable energy infrastructure that will support societies as they transform through this century.</p> <p>We foster this culture of innovation by putting research and development at the heart of our operations. We have some of the best and brightest people in the business – engineers who work for us because they get to tackle the most complex of problems. </p> <p>With approximately 125,416 employees, we are more than just a company, we are a community. We are driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for excellence, never accepting that the limits of our material have been reached. We will continue to push boundaries, whether developing technologies to reduce the carbon footprint of steel, transforming the built environment with our new construction solutions, 3D printing automotive parts using steel powders or, through the adoption of artificial intelligence and advanced automation across our operations. This is what it takes to be the steel company of the future. </p>
