RECENT ADVANCES AND INITIATIVES IN THE INTEGRATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG) PRINCIPLES IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY: A BRIEF OVERVIEW.

Alves, Nanda Rocha; Vaz, Talles Robert; Modesto, Paulo Henrique Marques; Guarieiro, Lilian Lefol Nani

Full article:

Sustainable Development has been the target of continuous global efforts, aiming to reduce dependence on natural resources, increase waste reuse, promote social well-being, and preserve the environment. This article addresses the discussion of implementing ESG principles in the steel industry. Concepts and technologies such as "Green Steel," circular economy, recycling technologies, carbon capture and storage, and the use of renewable energies are explored. These approaches represent significant advancements towards a more sustainable steel sector, with meaningful socio-economic and environmental benefits.
