(Central News Agency reporter Ho Hsiu-ling, Taipei, April 15) The World Steel Association (worldsteel) announced its "Sustainable Steel Companies" for 2026, with China Steel being selected for the third time. China Steel stated that in recent years, it has continuously promoted carbon reduction and process optimization. Statistics show that from 2018 to 2025, it completed over a thousand carbon reduction schemes, achieving an annual carbon reduction of 1.587 million metric tons, and has met its short-term carbon reduction target.
China Steel announced today via a press release that following its awards in 2019 and 2024, this is its third time receiving this award from the World Steel Association. It stands alongside other distinguished international steel companies such as ArcelorMittal, the world's second-largest steel producer; EMSTEEL, the largest steel manufacturer in the United Arab Emirates; and HYUNDAI Steel from South Korea.
