  Our strategy is to maintain our position as the world’s leading steel and mining company long-term, delivering shareholder value through cycles in a changing world requiring sustainable, circular economy solutions. We pursue a global steel and mining champion role by managing our portfolio actively, operating throughout the steel value chain from raw material mining to downstream transformation and distribution, focusing on synergies with steel core activities. We target both developed markets (with high per capita steel demand and high-value products) and developing markets (offering long-term growth). Our large global assets enable world-class operations producing diverse steels for mobility, construction, infrastructure, industrial, and energy sectors. Innovation through R&D drives smarter steels and evolving customer needs. Digitalization enhances efficiencies and transforms operations and value chains. We develop low-energy, low-carbon, cost-reducing, fully recyclable steel processes. We prioritize maintaining a strong balance sheet for investment and transformation opportunities to ensure sustainability and consistent returns. Success is supported by an entrepreneurial culture and focus on employee safety and wellbeing. ArcelorMittal is a leader in the Metals & Mining industry, offering global scale, product diversity, and supply chain integration.
