Key data of the financial year 2009

2009 will go down as one of the most difficult financial years in the 150-year history of the Salzgitter Group. During the first nine months the Group had to absorb a dramatic slump in demand for rolled steel products, among other occurrences. Thanks, on the one hand, to the sound and broad business base and the healthy financial position of the company and, on the other, to a program of swiftly implemented immediate measures to stabilize performance, all the challenges posed by the crisis were mastered with aplomb.

Today, Salzgitter AG will be presenting its first corporate responsibility report (CR report) as a supplement to the company’s annual report. The CR report provides condensed information on the ecological, economic and social performance of the group.
