Our approach
EVRAZ understands the responsibility inherent in its position as one of the world’s leading steelmakers and, as such, is committed to integrating sustainable development principles and values into its daily operations. The Group believes that sustainable development will help it to maintain the long-term stability of its business, retain a competitive market position and create value for its stakeholders.
EVRAZ sustainable development initiatives adhere to the OECD’s Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises to apply a consistent approach and adopt best practices across its global operations.
The Group bases these commitments on the best international standards and practices, fully endorsing the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights provisions and respecting people’s civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights.
