A mini mill-produced substrate finished with U. S. Steel's industry-leading finishing technologies, verdeX® steel is already available in a growing number of grades

Committing to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050

In April of 2021, we announced our intention to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, building on our 2030 goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 20% on a 2018 baseline. This underscores our Best for All® commitment: to be part of the solution to the growing challenge of climate change.

Joining ResponsibleSteel™

Also in April, 2021, U. S. Steel became the first North American steel producer to join ResponsibleSteel,™ consistent with our actions and intent to deliver innovative solutions that benefit our customers and our planet. ResponsibleSteel™ is a global organization dedicated to advancing steel’s contribution to a sustainable future.

Investing in new NGO steel capacity

In June of 2021, we announced plans to invest to be a leader in non-grain oriented (NGO) electrical steel, a critical material in the production of electric vehicles (EVs). We’re adding a new NGO steel line to support our automotive customer investments and commitments to meet growing EV demand in the marketplace.
