The document will be handed-over to VEJA within the stipulated 14- day period. ArcelorMittal South Africa’s CEO, Paul O’Flaherty commented: “The SCA’s decision will be respected and the Master Plan will be delivered within the court-stipulated timeline. We are steadfast in our belief that we have not veered from our principle of rehabilitating our environment to the best of our ability. In the last five years, we have spent more than R1.6 billion on numerous environmental projects, including the Vereeniging Dust Extraction facility and the Vanderbijlpark Sinter Bag House, while we remain committed to achieving high standards of water management and the recovery thereof.” ArcelorMittal South Africa is well aware that steel-making, as a large, resource-intensive industry, has a substantial impact on the local community.

ArcelorMittal South Africa continues to engage proactively with NGOs and local communities at all its operational locations.
