Company report
Summary Results
ArcelorMittal achieves one of the ten strongest results for Economic Development and Business Conduct. Its performance in these areas is largely the result of its systems for developing the skills of producing country populations, its formalised commitments on business ethics and anti-bribery and corruption, and its full disclosure of site-level payments to sub-national and national governments. ArcelorMittal also performs strongly on occupational health and safety, having made a formal commitment to provide a safe and healthy working environment and demonstrating systematic tracking of its performance on providing such conditions.
Conversely, ArcelorMittal’s overall results are limited by its lack of evidence on Lifecycle Management. For example, no evidence was found of the company having committed to plan for mine closure from an early stage or to systematically manage its impacts through all phases of a mining operation. Likewise, no evidence was found of ArcelorMittal designing and planning its operations to manage post-closure transition for workers or affected communities. The company’s relative lack of evidence of policies or systems to address Community Wellbeing issues also limits its overall results, with little or no evidence of systematic tracking of how well it is managing its socio-economic impacts.
The maximum value of 1.000 represents the aggregation of best scores achieved for all indicators in a given thematic area, taking into account all companies’ results. As the aggregate best score varies from one area to another, these charts cannot be used to compare company performances across different areas.
All company results are based on public domain data that have been sourced by RMI analysts or provided by companies. In the case of a few companies, very little information was available. It is important to note that a low score may only reflect a lack of relevant information in the company’s publicly available documentation.

In order to fully understand the methodology of the 2018 Responsible Mining Index, the respective sections on the website should be consulted.
The RMI seeks evidence of companies’ policies and practices on economic, environmental, social and governance (EESG) issues, but does not seek to measure the actual outcomes achieved on EESG issues. Results are based only on evidence sourced from the public domain or provided by companies as open data. Whilst this information is believed to be reliable, no guarantee can be given that it is accurate or complete, nor does it preclude the possibility that policies and practices may exist, but which the RMI has not been able to consider for purposes of assessment. In this respect, the results of the low-scoring companies do not necessarily reflect a lack of relevant policies and practices; as they may be due to a lack of public reporting by the companies, limitations in accessing information, and/or any difficulties in accessing the RMI company portal.
It should be noted that, prior to publication, all companies in the Index were invited to check the factual accuracy of the contextual data and evidence upon which the Index is based and to review company information in the RMI document library.
