Continuous
Improvement
To
Environment
Continuous
compliance with applicable environmental laws, regulations and
other requirements is our commitment. If an environmental
non-compliance occurs, it will be documented and the implemented
corrective measures verified for effectiveness. Preventive
measures to improve environmental compliance are reviewed for
relevance, and if applicable, implemented and evaluated for
effectiveness. U. S. Steel Gary Works’ personnel participate,
where appropriate, in the development of public policy and
governmental and inter-governmental programs.
Improvement
in our environmental performance occurs through the continuous
improvement process and through annual management reviews of our
Environmental Management System, including periodic review of our
environmental objectives and targets. Our main objectives are to:
- Improve air emissions;
- Investigate waste
minimization opportunities
The
Environmental Policy along with appropriate information regarding
environmental performance is periodically provided to executive
management and employees and is also made available to the public.
To
train and educate employees to conduct their activities in an
environmentally responsible manner is an on-going process.
Protecting our environment is everyone's responsibility.
Environmental
impact evaluations of proposed actions, including process and
practice changes, are conducted to minimize adverse consequences.
