<![CDATA[
Steel Dynamics Inc., an electric arc furnace-based steelmaker headquartered in Fort Wayne, Indiana, was recognized as the 2021 Steel Producer of the Year at the Fastmarkets Global Awards for Steel Excellence ceremony Nov 8.
“We are honored and humbled to have received this honor,” says SDI Chairman and CEO Mark D. Millett. “We thank all of those that contributed to our success—our loyal customers, vendors, communities and shareholders. My heartfelt thanks also go to our extraordinary employees for their passion, innovation and dedication to each other and to a spirit of excellence. The entire Steel Dynamics team achieved a strong performance during the unchartered environment of 2020 and, most importantly, we did it safely.”
Finalists were selected by two judges from the Fastmarkets editorial team, and those entries were scored by steel industry veterans who serve as judges to select the winners.
The Fastmarkets award was the most recent recognition SDI has received recently.
In early February, Forbes named the company one of the World’s Best Employers for 2021. SDI was the only U.S. steel producer to receive this designation and one of only 236 U.S.-based businesses to make the 2021 list, which is comprised of 750 global companies.
“We are especially honored by this recognition,” Millet says “Above all, we value the dedicated people whose drive, innovation and commitment have helped successfully grow our company and serve our customers. Our teams are the foundation and driver of our success. Their passion compels us to the highest standard of excellence, and their health and safety is our number one value. I thank each of them for their dedication to each other, our customers, and our communities.”
Forbes and Statista selected the World’s Best Employers for 2021 based on independent surveys of roughly 150,000 employees in more than 55 countries working around the world. Participants were asked to rate employers on aspects such as image, trust, gender equality, corporate social responsibility, culture and benefits. The 750 companies that received the highest total scores made the final list.
Investor’s Business Daily recognized SDI on its list of the 100 Best ESG (environmental, social and governance) Companies of 2021. SDI was the only U.S. steel producer to receive this designation and one of only three steel producers globally.
“We are honored by this acknowledgment,” said Mark D. Millett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our recognition as one of the best ESG companies is due to the extraordinary passion and spirit of excellence exhibited by our teams. It is their drive and dedication to keep each other safe, to create innovative product and supply-chain solutions, and to be a leader in the steel industry regarding sustainability that propels Steel Dynamics to the highest standard of operational and financial performance.”
To determine the 100 Best ESG Companies, Investor’s Business Daily screened Dow Jones ESG data, which includes more than 6,000 companies. SDI ranked in the No. 56 spot on the list, with an ESG score of 99 and a 14 percent return on investment.
