Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Commercial Metals Company

Sustainability has been at the heart of CMC since our founding as a recycling company over 100 years ago, and we remain focused on ensuring CMC operates sustainably today and into the future. We use 82% less energy than the global average at our Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) mills. Our initiatives to reduce the electricity usage resulted in a savings of approximately 15.2 million KWH and $762,000 in 2024. The total rate of water recycled in our operations is over 95%, just 4% of the steel industry average!

Environmental Sustainability

CMC remains focused on improving its environmental performance by investing in advanced technologies, improving how we operate and sharing best practices across the organization as well as helping its customers and the steel sector reduce their environmental impact. We have established new, ambitious GHG emissions goals that demonstrate our commitment to doing our part to manage climate risk and ensure accountability and transparency to our stakeholders.

These events included food drives and food pantry volunteering, community clean up events, school supply drives, holiday toy drives and many more.
