Getting to Know SSIAbout SteelSustainability
The Steel Industry for a White Environment

At SSI, our development in the steel industry goes hand in hand with development of our social environment and environment-friendly policies. Due to our commitment to principles of good corporate governance and sustainable development, SSI was granted ISO 14001 certification for environmental management in 1999. We have demonstrated a consistent and serious resolve to protect our environment through investment, management, and awareness-raising policies that preserve natural resources, save energy, and control environmental pollution.

Inspecting, Preventing, Promoting, and Complying

Ever since the ground was broken for construction of our plant, SSI has been in strict compliance with all the rules, laws, and standards laid down by the appropriate government agencies.
We have constantly carried out inspections and made environmental assessment reports, including measurements of air and water quality, as required by the Office of Environmental Policy and Planning, under the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment. We carefully dispose of any wastes generated by the production process and apply rigorous standards to ensuring that such wastes do not damage the natural environment or have any detrimental effect upon public health. To this end, we have installed monitoring systems to detect sudden leaks or incidents of pollution. SSI is also a leader in encouraging companies, employees, and communities to participate in environmental conservation projects that help maintain our natural surroundings in their original state, clean and safe for the enjoyment of future generations.
