Environmental and Social Justice Issues
In Ukraine, the steel industry is contending with various issues related to the environment and social justice, which have significant consequences for human health, safety, and land use. The Ukrainian steel industry is one of the most emissions-intensive in the world[1] and its steelworkers often confront dangerous working conditions, with their right to organize and engage in collective bargaining often challenged.[2]
Recent international ESJ issues facing Ukraine are related to the war with Russia. Some steel plants have been the sites of conflict and violence, such as the Azovstal Iron & Steel Works.[3] Ukraine's largest steel company, Metinvest, has accused Russia of stealing $600m worth of steel from Ukrainian plants and ports, some of which was intended for European customers, including the UK. According to Metinvest's CEO, Yuriy Ryzhenkov, the stolen steel is being sold in internal markets or to African and Asian countries. The company is gathering evidence and planning legal action, although legal experts have suggested that it may be difficult to obtain compensation from Russia through the legal route.[4]
