The report highlights the company’s renewed commitment to transparency in its sustainability efforts, including recent innovations in operations, as well as corporate responsibility practices related to environmental stewardship, safety, governance, culture and ethics and compliance.
“At U.S. Steel, we know that being a good corporate citizen is not only the right thing to do, it’s also essential to our success,” said David B. Burritt, President and CEO of U. S.
