Steel has a problem: it's a massive polluter, plagued by human rights problems, and some companies hide the truth behind a lot of #ShinyClaims. Time's up.

From sportswashing its image at the #ParisOlympics with #ShinyClaims about decarbonising its steel plants in Europe, to Canada now with potentially more greenwashing. Big announcements to stalled or abandoned projects is ArcelorMittal’s MO.

We showcased a projection on ArcelorMittal's soon-to-be global headquarters, calling for an end to coal-based steelmaking. We believe steelmakers should have transition plans for all their sites. 🔁Repost if you agree! #ShinyClaims #BlastFurnace

❓Do you know what a blast furnace is? Companies need to phase out burning coal, yet big players like ArcelorMittal are dragging their feet. We believe TRUE climate champions quit coal. 💚Like this post if you agree. #ShinyClaims #ActOnClimate

📸Our message to ArcelorMittal from a top Europe’s largest glacier, the Mer de Glace, which is expected to disappear completely by 2100. The company is uniquely placed to be a global leader on #GreenSteel - but it needs to put its money where its mouth is. #ActOnClimate

We're still waiting for ArcelorMittal to up its financial commitments to #decarbonisation. To date, it's spent just 5% of the budget it said was needed to get on track with the Paris Agreement by 2030. But, in the same period, it's had no problem enriching its shareholders.

Steel's addiction to coal is damaging the health of workers & surrounding communities. As the late Samson Mokoena says, it's time companies put them and our environment first. #BeyondFossilFuels #ShinyClaims
