Qatar Steel recently conducted a series of sustainability training workshops, designed to give its employees an understanding of what it means for Qatar Steel to be sustainable, and how the company intends to invest in sustainability in the coming years. Participants also learned why sustainability is important in a global and regional context and how it is being implemented at a sector level through the  Qatar Energy & Industry Sector Sustainability (QEISS) Program launched by His Excellency Dr. Mohammed bin Saleh Al-Sada, the Minister of Energy and Industry.

The training program was delivered in partnership with Sustainability Excellence, one of the leading sustainability management consultancy firms in the region. The training workshops were well attended by executive management and key staff members across the organization.

Mr. Ali Bin Hassan Al-Muraikhi, Managing Director and General Manager commented “in all our efforts we will strive to build upon our past achievements to improve our sustainability performance for the future. As we continue to grow, we are committed to making sustainability a part of our everyday work culture.”

This training program is part of Qatar Steel’s commitment to sustainability management and reporting as an integral part of its business strategy.  The core of Qatar Steel’s sustainability framework is ‘Making Steel Matter’, a company slogan which captures the essence of Qatar Steel’s six sustainability objectives:

• Contributing to Qatar’s Development
