Who is worldsteel?

 The World Steel Association (worldsteel) is the international body representing the global iron and steel industry, comprising steel producers, national and regional industry associations, and research institutes. worldsteel plays a pivotal role in promoting sustainable practices, safety, technological innovation, and economic transparency across the steel sector, and advocates for climate action and zero-harm workplace policies.

InfraBuild is an active member of worldsteel and is part of several of its global initiatives.

Worldsteel Climate Action Data Collection Programme

The worldsteel Climate Action Data Collection Programme recognises steel producers that have fulfilled their commitment to participate in the worldsteel CO2 emissions data collection programme.

InfraBuild is currently a member of the Climate Action Data Collection Programme, and has been continuously for at least 15 years.

Being a current member of the Worldsteel Climate Action Data Collection Programme is one of the mandatory Compliance Requirements for InfraBuild to be recognised as a ‘Responsible Steel Maker’ in the GBCA’s Green Star ratings tools.

It is also needed for our GECA Certification, as well as our “Verified Steel Supplier” status for the SSA Scheme.

Worldsteel Sustainability Charter

Under its Sustainability Charter program, worldsteel has taken a new purpose-driven and action-oriented approach to encourage steel producers to both proactively engage in its program of sustainability initiatives and also to continue its own sustainability journey.

The Sustainability Charter helps coordinate existing worldsteel sustainability activities, including the eight Sustainability Indicators, the worldsteel day for safety and health, the LCI data collection program, the annual Steelie Awards and recognition as a worldsteel Sustainability Champion.

Published in 2022, the worldsteel Sustainability Charter has 20 criteria (covering 9 principles) that steel companies must meet, covering the areas of environment, social, governance and economics.

InfraBuild first gained membership to the worldsteel Sustainability Charter in 2023, for the three-year period covering 2023 to 2025, and during FY25, was again recognised by worldsteel as a Sustainability Charter Member for the three-year period from 2025 to 2027 inclusive.
