About the 2022 Sustainability Report

Starting with the 2002 Environmental Report, China Steel Corporation (CSC) has widened the scope of non-financial reporting to all aspects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability. This year, the report is renamed the Sustainability Report due to the current regulations. Since 2010, CSC has been publishing annual Sustainability Reports in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidance, as an important channel to disclose non-financial related information and improve sustainability performance. In 2012, the CSC sustainability website was launched for more accessible, transparent, timely, complete, and interactive reporting. Sustainability Reports and the sustainability website are important communication channels as well as CSC's integral approaches to continual improvement of sustainable operations.
