The organisation

The Overall Organisation
The structure, the team, the budgets, the goals – the platform is now in place to
ensure a successful integration of ArcelorMittal as the world’s number one steel
maker.

The management structure for the combined Group is designed to create an


organisation that combines scale with agility and provides a new industry
benchmark for customer service.

The new organisation reflects a balance of appointments from each of the


predecessor companies. At the very top of the organisation is an 18-member
Board of Directors. Representing all stakeholders, the Board of Directors is
responsible for the overall supervision of the Company. It is truly international in
character as benefits a multinational Group.

Among the Board’s roles is the appointment of the Group Management Board
(GMB), which manages the strategic direction of the business.
