The aim of this project is to collect and report CO2 emissions data on a site-by-site basis to give an overall emission intensity for the production of steel at that site, irrespective of the final products that are being made. Involvement in the CO2 data collection initiative is not exclusive to worldsteel members only, but also non-members can use the system. This data collection is subject to crude steel producer, worldsteel Climate Action certificate is granted after data is verified and included in the annual report.

The Maintenance and Reliability (M&R) Benchmarking System intends to improve reliability of the process plants and reducing maintenance time and costs and thereby reaching manufacturing excellence. Users can compare their facilities such as continuous casters, hot rolling mills, coating lines etc. to identify the potential for reducing their unscheduled losses and benefit from the extra uptime for running at speed, quality, throughput rate without unnecessary costs involved. The model is based on identifying all losses in time a process is subjected to over a operating period and use a shift, day, week, month, or 12 month year. It will develop an Operational Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OOEE) and includes additional opportunities for speed loss or running at the maximum rate of operation for a specific product or product mix, running to or producing to order only, at the quality level specified, and speed specified producing prime product without delays. The survey focuses on plant reliability, effective operating time, maintenance cost and manpower needed to achieve this. A top 12 maintenance system is available which is required to obtain a high level of operation.

worldsteel collects data on its members’ safety and health performance. Annual safety reports provide all members with the possibility to benchmark their own safety performance against the global one to identify areas that need improvement. The most important indicator followed in safety is the lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR). The LTIFR shows the total number of lost time injuries per million hours worked. In addition, data collection covers all other types of incidents as well as causes of fatalities and lost time injuries. Sickness absence rate is the indicator for health in the benchmarking. Safety and health data is collected in an online tool and is hosted externally on dedicated servers with ISO 27001 accreditation. worldsteel keeps the data secure and confidential. Only global averages for the entire industry are published, and summaries of data are reported to worldsteel members on a wider regional base or global basis, not on company or country basis. The policy of worldsteel is to help all our members achieve an accident-free workplace. Trends and development perceived in the safety and health metrics is one instrument guiding our activities in this area.

worldsteel members report on 8 sustainability indicators every year. The indicators are aligned to the commitments outlined in our sustainable development policy. 5 of the 8 indicators are collected via this webtool.

• Material efficiency
• Environmental management systems (EMS)
• Employee training
• Investment in new processes and products
• Economic value distributed (EVD)

Yield improvement means using fewer resources; require less energy and processing time resulting in higher revenue for the same input. The Process Yields assessment system is aimed at improving the steel industry yield. Users can compare their yield at facility level – starting from ironmaking, through to steelmaking, rolling and finishing. The system helps identify the potential for yield improvement and measures to improve yield can positively influence other KPIs, such as process control, quality control and general planning. Yield improvement cannot be pursued in isolation; rather it needs to be an integral part of a holistic performance optimisation in energy, reliability, environment and safety etc.

The Energy Benchmarking System provides a mature and robust evaluation system of their energy efficiency at site and process by process level. It enables steel producers to make a fair comparison of their own energy consumption compared to the rest of the industry and a reference energy intensity. The system allows steel producers to systematically determine the areas where energy efficiency can be improved.

worldsteel has set up a web-based forum on safety and health issues to improve and encourage further communication on the issue within the steel industry community. The forum allows worldsteel member companies to report and share safety and health incidents, creating a platform where member companies can seek advice and best practice from other companies in the industry.
