ArcelorMittal claims 46% absolute emissions cuts since 2018, but this masks production collapse and asset sales, not genuine decarbonisation. Portfolio-adjusted intensity fell only 5.4%. The company has no absolute emissions target, excluded its India JV from group reporting, faces OECD climate complaints, and lobbies against EU climate measures while greenwashing aggressively.
