The strength of local communities and our relationship with them are of particular importance to the way we operate across the globe.  Engaging with and giving back to our local communities has been part of our common values since early in the company's history.

Given the company's recent growth, we are having to engage with new communities in new settings, and recognize there is real value in meaningful community engagement. Our corporate citizenship efforts reinforce the Cliffs approach of having a positive impact in the communities where we operate.
