ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks Zaragoza has received the certification of the ResponsibleSteel International Standard. The plant is located 30 km from the capital of Aragón and belongs to ArcelorMittal Europe’s flat products segment.

The site receives galvanized steel coils from European sites and processes to produce laser-welded blanks for the automotive industry. The technology can decrease the weight of the vehicles, which further reduces the usage of fuel.

In order to obtain the certification, the plant has to access the standard’s 12 principles and all its criteria and requirements. Besides decarbonization, the certification also considers commitment to sustainability, good governance, and the health and safety of all the parties involved in this project.
