Steligence®

ArcelorMittal has won two Steelie Awards highlighting our excellence in sustainability, as well as in lifecycle assessment. The winners of the 9th Steelie Awards were announced at the Annual Dinner of the World Steel Association (worldsteel) on 16 October 2018.

Excellence in Sustainability

ArcelorMittal Brazil won the Steelie Award in the ‘Excellence in Sustainability’ category for their water master plan, which reduced the company's water intake by more than 6 000 000 m3/year despite a 17% increase in production. This award distinguishes the sustainability initiative which has made the greatest contribution to all three areas of sustainability – economic, environmental, and social value – while garnering significant community engagement.

Also shortlisted in the same category was ArcelorMittal Saint Chély d’Apcher, France for their construction of a heat network which recovers energy from the steel mill to heat the municipality of Saint Chély d’Apcher cutting CO2 emissions by more than 4000 tonnes a year.

Excellence in Life Cycle Assessment - Steligence®

ArcelorMittal has also won the Steelie in the ‘Excellence in Life Cycle Assessment’ category for our Steligence® concept. Steligence® goes beyond relying on steel’s excellent recycling credentials and low embedded carbon content to earn a construction project its sustainability designation. It offers developers, architects, engineers, and contractors a whole new way of thinking about construction – life cycle assessment – to enable them to build a truly circular economy. This award recognises the best use of life cycle thinking for overall environmental improvement in marketing and/or regulatory influence, project application, and new product development.

ArcelorMittal Europe was also shortlisted in the same category for an economic study conducted to better forecast the behaviour of the global scrap market and validate the allocation of recycling credits and burdens in the life cycle assessment of steel products.

We invite you to meet us at the SIMI conference on Wednesday 5 December 2018 at the Connected Buildings & Territories Forum. ArcelorMittal chose this event to present for the first time in France a new concept of intelligent construction: Steligence®.

Today, every building project faces great challenges of sustainability, cost, creativity, and flexibility.

Steligence® responds to these by considering buildings as living entities and offering a holistic approach to construction. This concept encourages the intelligent use of materials such as steel and allows us to analyse and optimise the social, economic, and environmental impacts of various construction options.

With Steligence®, you will see the various benefits of using ArcelorMittal's steel solutions such as: construction time reduced by more than 20%, a more compact building, lower costs (facades, stairs, etc.) of more than 10%, and much more…

You can also submit your real estate project for a Steligence® assessment with us at F132 on level 3.

We look forward to seeing you there!

ArcelorMittal continues to leap forward in steel solutions with the release of Steligence®. Ushering in a new wave of high-performance building and construction techniques, this fresh and innovative concept ensures that each steel component interacts in a complementary way.

"Taking a holistic approach to sustainable construction." (Prof. Olivier Vassart)

Steligence® was developed after a number of years of scientific and industry reviewed research that has resulted in a profound new approach to construction built on a strong foundation of sustainability.

Addressing current issues in the building industry, Steligence® is a philosophy that incorporates all elements of design and encourages more communication among the architectural and engineering experts involved in a building project.

Keeping only the strongest elements of traditional construction methods, Steligence® incorporates the best available technology in steelmaking and a new and fresh approach to sustainability in terms of the overall design process and the future life of a building.

The Steligence® approach includes a broad range of steel products for construction which individually add value, but together represent a compelling portfolio with a range of defined benefits.

A win-win solution

During a speech at the London launch event, Greg Ludkovsky, ArcelorMittal’s global head of research and development, explained that “as climate, energy and resource scarcity intensifies, win-win solutions like Steligence® become imperative for business and society at large. Buildings play a huge part in all our lives, so creating a construction concept that improves their social, economic and environmental impact while dramatically enhancing their functionality and aesthetics has been a huge but important challenge.”
