We operate in an industry where workplace safety is an everyday focus and this continues to be our number one priority. Being a responsible employer goes further than workplace safety however. We want ArcelorMittal to be a place where people can fulfil their potential, and feel that their views are taken into account. When economic circumstances force us to make changes and reductions to our workforce, we make every effort to do this in a sensitive manner and offer support to those affected.
