At BlueScope, the way we work is as important as the work we do. We have a number of priority areas that we focus on within our ethics and governance framework. You can find some of our policies provided here.
BlueScope site certification
We have long held the view that certification can give our customers and communities confidence in the environmental, social and governance performance of our steelmaking and steel processing facilities.
BlueScope has proudly played an active role in the development, collaborative engagement and promotion of the ResponsibleSteel™ Standard, and we are committed to pursuing ResponsibleSteel™ Site Certification at sites within our business.
Port Kembla Steelworks achieves ResponsibleSteel™ certification
BlueScope employees and our stakeholders worked extensively to achieve ResponsibleSteel™ certification at our Port Kembla Steelworks (PKSW) in Australia. We continue to implement improvements and learn from the process designed to strengthen our business, industry and local communities.
ResponsibleSteel™ certification creates a valuable point of difference for the Port Kembla Steelworks, the first site in the Asia Pacific region, and the fourth steelmaker in the world to obtain certification. Achieved in early 2022, we believe that the recognition reflects the quality of our operations and how positively we seek to engage with our stakeholders, in particular our customers, suppliers, employees and communities.

Western Port Site achieves ResponsibleSteel™ certification
BlueScope has achieved its second ResponsibleSteel™ certification for its Western Port site in Victoria, Australia. The certification reflects the outstanding efforts of the Western Port team and the quality of our operations.
Western Port is part of a fully integrated steel supply chain with hot rolled coil sourced from BlueScope’s Port Kembla Steelworks. The site has committed to a 30% reduction in emissions intensity by 2030 and has worked diligently to minimise its impact on the surrounding environment. The Western Port site has proven particularly strong in engaging and supporting local communities through Community Liaison Committee meetings and local projects.
