Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
ArcelorMittal has updated its long-term decarbonization strategy to sequence capital-intensive projects in phases to maintain financial discipline. The company has reframed its interim target to a realistic 10% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030 (Scope 1 and 2) compared to 2018 levels, while maintaining its ultimate commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Expected impact: Reduces execution risk and aligns capital deployment with actual market demand for low-carbon products and the availability of affordable renewable energy.
Expansion of the mining operations in Liberia to reach a nominal capacity of 20 million tonnes per annum.
Expected impact: Expected to drive shipments to exceed 18 million tonnes in 2026 and contribute over $250 million in incremental annual EBITDA.
Expansion of non-grain-oriented electrical steel (NOES) capacities in both the US and EU to cater to growing demand from the automotive and mobility sectors.
Expected impact: Positions ArcelorMittal as a leading domestic supplier of high-margin electrical steels, reducing US dependency on imports.
