As a global producer of steelmaking raw materials for over 163 years, Cliffs has watched the ore it mines and processes serve as a framework for modern civilization. The hard work of our employees over the years is infused into the cores of the skyscrapers, transportation systems and countless technologies that power society in the 21st century.
Social progress and development fuels our growth and development as a successful, profitable company. Therefore Cliffs is particularly invested in strategic and operational imperatives that seek to sustain that shared progress.
Working Towards Value Shared by All
However, a sense of investment in progress shared between Cliffs and society only provides us a starting point. What will be required of us is a new approach to managing all aspects of our company. We are beginning an examination of our business practices and procedures, looking to boost productivity equally valuable to commercial and societal objectives.
We are seeking to move past mere compliance and mitigation towards the creating of a positive, enduring cycle of company and community prosperity. Strategic partnerships, clear communication and cultural realignment will all be essential factors in the success of this continuing endeavor.
