- TERRY >> We have, roughly, 16 thousand neighbors that actually border the steel plant.
- MARY BETH >> We need to make sure that we are engaging with our community members.
- [ ♪ enegetic instrumental music ♪] ArcelorMittal inside transformingtomorrow Episode 10: Cleveland
- [Map: Cleveland, Ohio, United States]
- MARY BETH >> The ArcelorMittal Cleveland facility is a key player in the steel making world,
- [Mary Beth Holdford CR Manager, ArcelorMittal, USA] not only as a steel maker, but also as a huge community partner.
- TERRY >> We are the largest manufacturer within Cuyahoga County.
- [Terry Fedor General Manager, ArcelorMittal Cleveland] Not only do we have 1,700 direct paying jobs,
- We also affect the local community with another 8 thousand jobs.
- We have the most productive worforce in the world. We do 20 million tons in the U.S. and we're less that 20 thousand people.
- [Aditya Mittal GMB ArcerlorMittal, Head of Americas] We have a strong base, a strong foundation, but we can do better.
- And we know how to do better. We are in the midst of executing those plans.
- [Mike Hrosik Commercial Manager, ArcelorMittal USA] We are the only facility in North America
- that is within the city limits of a major metropoplitan area.
- With that comes a lot of responsibility.
- [As the biggest manufacturer in Cleveland, Corporate Responsibility is a priority for ArcelorMittal.]
- MARY BETH >> When people think of corporate responsibility in a developing market, they may think about a company
- actually investing in their community to build hospitals, to clean water.
- But here in the U.S., it's a different animal.
- All of those basic needs are already met.
- MARIE >> There's lots of different ways it's important for a company to participate
- [Marie Kittredge Community Leader, Cleveland] and some of it is creating good will, creating ownership,
- creating suppoprt for the company work, particularly in a community like Cleveland,
- where the factory is right in the middle of our community.
- MARY BETH >> We have neighbors in our backyard. We have schools. We have children running in the streets.
- So everything that we do in our business, we need to be mindful of the impact that we could potentially have on the stakeholders.
- MARK >> There is all these fears about not knowing about what's going on
- [Mark Granakis United Steel Workers Local President] in a plant, in that, you know, someday the whole plant's going to blow up
- like a nuclear disaster. We try and put those fears to bed as to what is going on here and share that with the community.
- RICH >> We have a community call line. When residents have questions
- [Rich Zovoda Environmental Manager, ArcelorMittal Cleveland] about our facility, they can call us 24 hours a day.
- and I will be out in the community trying to answer their questions.
- [Pat Harp Local Resident] I can pick up a phone and I can call there and I say, You know what? What are you doing on that hill?
- They explain it to you, in our language. Not those big words, you know?
- [As a major shipping channel, the Cuyahoga River is essential to the operation of the ArcelorMittal plant in Cleveland.]
- [How can the company use the river and restore its natural habitat at the same time?]
- MARY BETH >> The Cuyahoga River is, essentially, the lifeline of Cleveland. That is what started this community.
- That's what brought commerce the the community and industry to the community.
- And, essentially, all of the people that moved here and built homes here and started families here.
- And it's still a huge source of maritime business for companies like ArcelorMittal.
- JIM >> The river's essentially a box channel lined with sheet steel bulkhead. The bulkhead provides terrific separation
- [Jim White Cuyahoga River Remedial Action Plan] between the shorline and the river and provides the depth for the ships.
- But it eliminates aquatic habitat and plant life and growth, which makes it very hard for fish
- to have shelter and food to be able to migrate thru this channel.
- MARY BETH >> What ArcelorMittal has done is provided land that would allow fish
- a place to rest and eat before they needed to continue their travels.
- JIM >> This is one of the clear leaders of how industries should, in fact, co-exist with the environmental setting.
- [♪ background music ♪]
- TERRY >> You look out across this plant and the community was so supportive of us,
- so we feel that we owe it to them that we give back to the community.
- WOMAN >> Yes, they are engaging a little bit and they are telling us that they are doing things.
- MAN >> It's not like it was 50 years ago. They're much cleaner.
- WOMAN >> We don't just see the smokestacks and the pollution. We see what they're doing
- in a good way and how they're contributing to our environmental cause.
- MARIE >> I think ArcelorMittal, here, really sees themselves as a partner, as a neighborhood partner.
- MARY BETH>> If we can educate people on a day-to-day basis and let them know about the programs and the changes that we're making,
- I think that we're taking a step in the right direction to eventually calm some of those fears that people have.
