Every ArcelorMittal site across the world is an integral part of its local community and its local environment. We provide much-needed jobs that offer training and other benefits, business opportunities for local companies, and in some instances also support vital infrastructure such as schools and basic healthcare. Our engagement with the local community is guided by the ArcelorMittal external stakeholder engagement procedure. This process aims to inform both our own management processes and our stakeholders on issues of common interest, such as employment and community investment practices. Additionally, the ArcelorMittal Foundation works with all our major operations to encourage community investments that are sustainable and support long-term economic and social growth.

KPI: We report on our progress against the key performance indicators that monitor the four areas of our corporate responsibility strategy.
1Reported economic contribution is based on wages and salaries, supplier and contractor payments, corporate income tax and local taxes, capex, dividends, R&D and ArcelorMittal Foundation projects. It does not include all areas where ArcelorMittal contributes to the economy, such as through indirect job creation through the supply chain, and therefore is not exhaustive.
