Basic Principle: Compliance with all
environmental laws and regulations
One of the chief responsibilities of operating in an environmentally responsible manner is to be in compliance with the local, state and federal environmental laws.
| U. S. Steel has been an industry leader in environmental compliance, beginning with the full incorporation of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 environmental management systems. ISO 14001 standards seek to assist companies and organizations to “minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities, and to achieve continual improvement of its environmental performance.” Today, all of U. S. Steel’s facilities have achieved and maintained ISO 14001 compliance. |

Additionally, U. S. Steel is working to help other industries comply with increasingly stringent environmental rules and regulations. The automotive industry, for example, is benefitting from partnering with the steel industry to investigate how the use of advanced high strength steels, like those produced by U. S. Steel, can help meet ever increasing fuel economy standards while enhancing a vehicle’s safety and engine performance.
U. S. Steel’s commitment to complying with our environmental standards and partnering with other industries to apply state-of-the-art technology to find new and innovative solutions to meet or exceed environmental standards is just part of how our company operates under this basic principle.
