10 9 Investor Relations and SRI

11 10 Objective of Investor Relations  By implementing high standards of financial information disclosure and providing clear, regular, transparent and even-handed information to all its shareholders, ArcelorMittal aims to be the first choice for investors in the sector  ArcelorMittal has an active and broad communications policy: roadshows conference calls, plant visits, one-on-one meetings, and a website featuring management comments on quarterly, half-year and full-year results  Meeting the growing Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) / sustainable investment community follows the same model ArcelorMittal aims to be the first choice for investors in the sector

12 11 Growth of SRI  Origins of religiously-motivated funds and trade union pension funds avoiding sin stocks (e.g. weapons, tobacco) in the 1960s to divestment of companies operating in South Africa (1970s – 1990s) to emergence of specific green, ethical and sustainability funds  European SRI Market valued at €2.7 trillion at end of 2007* (17.5% of asset management industry in Europe)  Investment strategies include:  Negative screening: excluding securities based on environmental and/or social criteria  Shareholder activism and engagement: positively influencing corporate behaviour through management meetings and proxy voting  Sustainability funds: identifying companies that will bring returns from e.g. low carbon economy  Increasingly mainstream investors are asking “CSR” questions either directly or indirectly From ethical investment to a strategy to maximising financial return from sustainable companies * European Sustainable Investment Forum (Eurosif)

13 12 Managing SRI at ArcelorMittal

14 13 Managing SRI at ArcelorMittal  Various approaches and shareholders  Ethical investors / green funds  Rating agencies  Sustainability indices e.g. FTSE4Good  ArcelorMittal has reviewed all rating agencies, leading teams (buy-side and sell-side) and its own shareholder capital related to SRI:  To prioritise key rating agencies and top shareholders  Incorporate and evaluate SRI questionnaires and issue identification into our own CR management and data collection processes Prioritising SRI community for effective management

15 14 Key initiatives; Outcomes and Results

16 15 Formalising feedback Identifying priority and most relevant issues to ArcelorMittal

17 16 Engagement: A successful outcome Source: UN Principles for Responsible Investment Annual Report 2008

18 Feedback into our publications Fostering engagement through public reporting Integrating comments and topics into our CR Report and other relevant documents and publications  Quarterly earnings release now contains safety statistics and latest CR initiatives

19 18 Conclusion and Next Steps

20 19 Effective SRI management  SRI should follow similar model to all other investor relations  Prioritising analysts and agencies is crucial to effective management  SRI are an individual stakeholder group that can be utilised for more than just improved ratings  Formalising engagement tests our CR strategy, aids issue identification and improves our own disclosure  Next steps for ArcelorMittal to repeat this exercise with a new theme: managing CR through, and emerging from the economic crisis Transforming tomorrow
