*Assured by Deloitte Audit

(1) The indicators in this table have been developed over the period 2007-2017 in line with the requirements of the Global Reporting Initiative and of the business. All methodologies can be found in the Basis of Reporting. In 2014, we adopted 10 new sustainable development outcomes, and although these indicators were not selected to measure progress against these outcomes, they are listed here under our 10 outcomes. KPIs the company has identified as metrics that are useful for driving and tracking progress, are marked in bold. Environmental data presented in this table are provisional except where assured by Deloitte.

(2) From 2014 onwards we report dust, NOx and SOx emissions per tonne of steel produced as a more meaningful indicator than the absolute volume generated - a key performance indicator.

(3) In 2017 for the first time we break down community investment spend into that protion which is voluntary and that which is mandatory as a result of contractual agreements with host governments.

(4) STEM = Science, technology, engineering and maths.

(5) Further details of the estimated direct economic contribution are found in OUTCOME 10, which details our contribution to society. In 2016, the company undertook a review of all the taxes paid at a local level besides income tax. The total tax contribution published here are the result of that work, and represent a wider scope than reported in previous years. Details can be found in our Basis of Reporting.

(6) ‘Royalties’ are reported from 2016 onwards according to the scope of extractive industry reporting under the EU Accounting Directive 2013/34/EU, which is narrower than scope used in previous years. In this report, royalties are now included under 'other taxes'. See Basis of Reporting

(7) In 2017, we revised the methodology for calculating CO2e emissions from our mining operations, from an input-output mass balance method, to a method that calculates the actual emissions from specific processes within our mining operations: the combustion of fuels (for transportation, for heating, for power generation etc), utilities (electricity, steam etc) and materials. This change impacted on the 2015 figure we published in previous years, and that we publish in this table. CO2e (mining) data has been within the scope of assurance by Deloitte Audit since 2017.
