Changes to upcoming ResponsibleSteel™ meetings

The health and safety of our Members is of utmost importance and so, like many organisations, we are making some changes to our scheduled meetings, to reduce the risk of infection of coronavirus, and in light of travel restrictions.

The Working Group meetings scheduled for 22 and 23 April 2020 will be held virtually, with the meetings on 23 April rescheduled to 24 April. Participants will be advised how to join the meetings. There will be four sessions in total, with a morning and evening session on both days, in order to cover most time zones.

22 April 8:00am – 10:00am UK Summer Time: Three separate working group meetings (GHG, Raw Materials, Steel Product Claims) to take place in parallel, Session 1

22 April 5.00pm – 7.30pm UK Summer Time: Three separate working group meetings taking place in parallel, Session 2, starting with 30 minute resume of Session 1 progress.

23 April: No meeting. The Secretariat will collate and circulate developments from 22 April, for discussion the following day.

24 April 8:00am – 10:00am UK Summer Time: Combined group meetings to take place, Session 1

24 April 5.00pm – 7.30pm UK Summer Time: Combined group meetings to take place, Session 2, starting with 30 minute resume of Session 1 progress.

There will also be a virtual replacement for the Members’ meeting in June. Please keep 24-26 June free for virtual meetings of the Working Groups and Members. More details will be announced in due course.

We are considering organising an in-person Members’ meeting in the second half of the year, and will review and update on the situation as it develops.

We wish all our Members and friends well, personally and professionally, during these challenging times.
