ArcelorMittal Construction is passionate about the planet. We strive to create new building systems that make our world a better and safer place – supported by local design and advanced knowhow, shaped by a century of curiosity and discovery.
We all have a responsibility to improve our environment and stay on top of regulatory and economic issues. That’s why ArcelorMittal Construction invests heavily in R&D and new industrial solutions. We’re committed to shrinking the environmental footprint of buildings through our never-ending pursuit of innovation in steel and components. We protect the infinite lifecycle of our steel, with recycling an integral part of our new-product-development process. In fact all the steel in our products comes from sustainable sources and is fully recyclable.
Over recent years we have developed building envelope solutions that have sustainability at their core.
As the world's leading steel company, we have a major responsibility to innovate, implement and successfully move towards a cleaner steel industry. Our journey to become carbon neutral by 2050 is well underway. We have joined the Paris climate targets and the European Green Deal by committing to reduce European CO2 emissions by 35% by 2030 and to be carbon neutral by 2050.
To achieve this goal, we have launched XCarb®, our umbrella brand that brings together all of ArcelorMittal's reduced, low and zero carbon products and steelmaking activities, as well as broader initiatives and green innovation projects, into a single effort focused on making demonstrable progress towards carbon neutral steel.

This attractive coating has outstanding surface quality and incredible lightness. The reduced weight improves the application process and reduces transport costs, while providing superior corrosion protection and a lifespan up to three times longer than standard zinc coating.
ZMevolution® pure zinc coatings cut the CO2 emissions generated from galvanising a kilogram of steel by almost 50%. For a single production site, that’s the equivalent of 13,000 vehicles traveling 13,000 kilometres per year on the road.
The new iQ+ system reflects ArcelorMittal Constructions' promise to reduce the impact that the construction industry has on the environment. The solution offers 15% higher thermal resistance for the same panel thickness. As a result, we were able to reduce the panel thickness from 120 mm to 100 mm, while keeping the thermal insulation performance constant.
For a panel area of 2,000 m², this means 1.6 t less rigid foam and 50 kg less steel (flashings, screws, etc.), which has the added advantage of reducing transport costs. Each sandwich panel produced with the iQ+ system generates less CO2; for a 2,000 m² façade, CO2 emissions are reduced by 4,000 kg.
