ArcelorMittal remains locked in coal-based steelmaking with minimal genuine decarbonization, reporting 102Mt CO₂e annually while claiming 46% cuts that dissolve to 5.4% intensity gains when adjusted for output collapse and asset sales. Scope 3 emissions are unmeasured, India JV emissions excluded from group targets, SBTi commitment abandoned, and active industry lobbying against climate policy compounds the gap between stated 2050 net-zero aspiration and near-term inaction.
