Updates to the 2025 membership fee structure

ResponsibleSteel recently updated our membership fee structure to allow for a fairer reflection of company size and ensure our administrative costs are covered.

These changes were approved by the ResponsibleSteel Board of Directors in September 2024 and will take effect on January 1st, 2025

Key changes to the 2025 membership fees:

1. Revised fees for smaller members: To cover the administrative costs of collecting our membership fees, we have made revisions to the lower tier fees.

2. Introduction of new revenue tier: The lower end of the current fee structure has a steep jump-up in fees. As a result, we will introduce an additional revenue tier (from $1m to $10m).

3. ‘Non-profit’ category changes to ‘Civil Society’: The ‘Non-profit’ classification will be renamed as ‘Civil Society’ to better reflect our membership categories. Civil society membership will continue to be free of charge.

4. Trade Associations: From 2025, trade associations will be charged fees as per other Associate members, regardless of non-profit status, in keeping with other membership associations in our industry.

Members will see these changes reflected in their 2025 membership invoices that will be issued towards the end of the year. We believe these updates will ensure continued inclusivity while maintaining the financial sustainability of our programme.
