GSCC Member Forum
18-19 March 2025 | Brussels, Belgium
GSCC Members, Associate Members and partners across the value chain are coming together for discussion and collaboration to drive our leadership on steel industry decarbonization. As the coalition faces policy and regulatory headwinds, we remain fully committed to pursuing Net Zero by 2050 goals as outlined in the Paris Climate Agreement. But it is more critical than ever for GSCC members to integrate efforts towards the organization’s strategic mission and actively engage with industry partners. Please join us for a closed, in-person meeting to discuss these issues.
