Compliance is defined by an organisation’s ability to observe international laws and regulations, as well as by its ability to guarantee respect for the organisation’s code of ethics and values. This attitude is firmly embedded in our daily business routine, independent of one’s location or one’s role in the organisation.
The goal is to guarantee transparency in the decision-making and organisation of our enterprise which has at its disposition a strong global network of compliance agents that is managed from Luxembourg.
How can we be sure that we meet the highest standards of integrity?
Working at ArcelorMittal
includes an obligation to treat our colleagues, business partners, communities and other stakeholders with respect and dignity.
We have to act professionally – that means to be in conformity with our code of business conduct, to attend all necessary
compliance training, to apply the rules at all times and to report every violation of the rules to the person responsible
for business and ethics.
In order to reach these goals, ArcelorMittal has prepared a comprehensive programme of compliance procedures and trainings. Our employees receive training sessions – either online or in seminars – in business behaviour, anti-corruption guidelines, anti-cartel guidelines, guidelines for business sanctions, whistle-blowing rules, human rights and insider trade regulation.
